Why Choose Local Pastures?

1. Locally Raised

We work exclusively with Midwest farms within ~300 miles of Chicago. That means shorter supply chains, smaller carbon footprints, and fresher meat that never travels halfway across the country.

2. Humane Practices

Every farm we partner with follows strict animal welfare standards rooted in respect and care. Animals are raised outdoors, on pasture, the way nature intended.

3. Farmer Connection

Each box connects you directly to the farmers who raised your food with full transparency on their raising practices. We share their stories so you can feel confident in every purchase.

4. Better-Tasting Meat

When animals live stress-free lives on open pasture and eat the diet nature intended, you can taste the difference. The result is clean, rich flavor and tender texture that comes from real care.
