ButcherBox founder Mike Salguero has an obsession with rich and healthy grass-fed beef. But he realized there was an accessibility problem because only four percent of the beef consumed in the United States is grass-fed. So, with ButcherBox, he's become focused on selling grass-fed beef, heritage breed pork, and organic chicken.

Starting at $137 for eight to 11 pounds of free-range organic chicken, beef, heritage-breed pork and bacon, and wild-caught Alaskan salmon, customers can order their meats monthly. There's a 16 to 22-pound plan, which is $253 per month, or there's a customizable option at $159 per month for nine to 14 pounds of meat, adding up to about 30 meals.

In going the customizable route, subscribers can pick the types of meat they receive and even mix it up. Too much meat? There's an option of an eight-week delivery period instead of four weeks. Plus, customers can cancel or pause their subscription at any time.

Omaha Steaks was doing subscriptions before subscription boxes were even invented—and well before anyone ever owned a computer. What started as a small-scale butcher shop in Omaha became a mail-order venture in 1953, which it remains today (though they also have Omaha stores as well). Since its inception, Omaha's ethos has been on high-quality meats at affordable prices.

That remains its focus, but now Omaha sells way more than steaks. Customers can purchase entire meals, from apps to desserts. There are always tons of promotions and changing costs, but grilling and steak boxes can start around $129.99 per month.

Contents of the boxes vary monthly, but grilling boxes feature ribeyes, boneless New York strips, rib-eye crown steak, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, and more. The same goes for steak boxes, which can include top sirloin, filet mignon, flat iron steaks, boneless New York strips, and more. Should customers want to vary their subscriptions, there are bi-monthly and quarterly options as well.

Cured meat lovers will be big fans of Carnivore Club. Each month, the subscription service sends customers cured meat from a different artisan vendor—so they'll never receive the same thing twice.

While subscribers can’t choose the specific meats they receive—and they need to commit to a delivery time ranging from every month to every six months—the selections are top-notch. Included in subscriptions are four-to-six cured meats, and they’re ready to eat once unboxed. Meats range from pepperoni and salami to different types of jerky. There are two subscription choices: the Classic Box and the Snack Box. Types of meat found in the Classic Box are garlic salami, smoked soupy, Parmigiano cheese salami, and beer salami. Some meat options found in the Snack Box can include a mango habanero beef jerky, honey Sriracha chicken bites, a pepperoni seasoned stick, and a maple BBQ stick. The monthly subscription fee for the Classic Box is $44.99 plus shipping, while the Snack Box starts at $24.99 plus shipping.

Plus, each month, subscribers will find other goodies in the form of sausages, sticks, and snacks.
