Pasture-Raised Pork & Chicken

Most of the delivery brands compared throughout this site don't stop at beef. ButcherBox, Crowd Cow, Porter Road, Force of Nature, US Wellness Meats, and several others also sell pork and chicken, and for a lot of households that means one order can cover the whole week's protein rotation instead of juggling a separate butcher, a separate poultry source, and a separate beef box.
A note on terminology
"Grass-fed" is a claim that only makes sense for ruminants like cattle and bison, animals that can live entirely on grass and forage. Pigs and chickens are omnivores. They can't subsist on pasture alone — a pig rooting in a paddock still needs grain, forage, and supplemental feed to grow, and the same is true of chickens on range. That's why you won't see the term "grass-fed" applied to either animal anywhere on this site. Instead, the right words are "pasture-raised" and "heritage breed" for pork, and "free-range," "soy-free," or "corn-free" for chicken. Those terms describe how the animal was actually raised, and they're the claims worth checking a brand's page for before you buy.
The two guides below break out exactly which brands carry pasture-raised pork and which carry pasture-raised chicken, so you can round out a beef order — or build a full-protein delivery — without guessing.
