I don’t know about you but I am getting tired of that whole stay at home situation. I understand the need of it but after doing this how for a while I am ready to go out and do what I used to do.
I used to go to my favorite butcher stores and buy me some grass-fed and, in most cases, finished beef and slap it on the grill, stove or oven and made it part of a good meal that I most of the times enjoyed with friends and family.
I am in a pretty good shape and am not too scared of being in contact with others while keeping distance but shopping is something I still avoid as much as possible.
Where I shop now?
Since I did not like to go to the store I had to find alternatives for my shopping and that left not much other on the table than doing it online.
I was not excited about doing this but after doing it now for a while I am getting used to and actually start to enjoy it.
My favorite meat store I found by asking friends and they told me to have a good look at this Snake River Farms review they found.
I love a good Brisket on the smoker and they had some nice choices on their website.
Other options
I did not liked to be stuck on one option and start looking at more choices to buy meat online and on the same website I found information about Snake River Farms I also found many other online butchers with a good reputation and quality meat.
What I liked about the company that took the time to have a look at all these stores is that they did not try to push you in a certain direction but gave some unbiased information that was updated on a regular basis.
I found there that some of the smaller online meat suppliers had some problem keeping up with the demand that soured during the whole stay at home situation. I read some reviews that mentioned these problems.
My Experience
My experience up to now is fairly good. The quality of the meat is good and I love the fact that it get delivered to my house on the day and time that I am there to receive it.
There are a few things that I am not as happy with when I compare it to my regular butcher stores. I like to see what I buy and unfortunate you can’t do that at an online store.
Although the meat was all perfectly frozen when it was delivered I still have to make sure that I am home or that there is someone to take care of the delivery.
Shipping is done in a timely manner but it, however, still takes some type of planning from my side since I most of the time plan my meals a while ahead and in that way have time to look for deals.
My Opinion
I was surprised by how convenient ordering meat online is and how much I at first was not happy with the idea and later basically enjoyed it.
If you are looking for online butcher shops to order your meat I suggest you do a lot of reading on sites that review these kind of things. I found a ton of valuable information on these sites.
Make sure that you understand the ordering process and the cost of shipping and handling that sometimes is not included in the price of the meat.
Also remember that you have to make sure someone is home to take care of your delivery. I might need to be stored in your freezer or refrigerator right away.
If you follow these few tips and ideas in this article that I wrote out of my own experience you should be able to order some quality meat that might sometimes be of a better quality than you purchase from your local butcher store.
