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. 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.

3. High Standards

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

4. Better 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.

Our Standards

This is our baseline. No exceptions.

 
The way animals are raised shows up on your dinner table.
  • Local farms

Our Commitment

Our commitment to you and our farmers.

Local & Independent Sourcing

Every cut comes from small, farms across the Midwest, keeping your food closer to home and strengthening local communities.

Transparent Practices

We always share the farm, location, and practices behind your food. No guessing, no shortcuts.

Humane Animal Treatment

Raised on pasture with space, respect, and fresh air. No crates, no cages, no industrial feedlots.

Whole Animal Commitment

We honor every animal by using it fully, from premium steaks to bones, reducing waste and supporting sustainability.

Responsible Land Stewardship

Many of our farmers use regenerative practices to protect soil, water, and biodiversity for future generations.

Fair Farmer Practices

For every dollar you spend, we pay our farmers at least 55¢. This means that more than half of every dollar you spend goes directly to the farmers who raised your food.
