The Vermeat Red Standard is our special way of ensuring quality. It's like a promise from our family to yours, defining how our cattle are raised with the utmost care for their diet, activity, and well-being. That's how we keep our beef consistently high-quality, flavorful, and tender.

Our cattle are raised right here on family farms in Vermont, following our Vermeat Red Standard. Our farms are more than a place; they're a tradition of responsible and loving farming.

Mostly, yes. Our cattle enjoy grassy fields but are given high-quality grain in the last 4-6 weeks. It's a finishing touch that enhances the marbling and flavor of the beef.

They're not certified, but our practices align with USDA Organic standards. We prefer our independent vetting, focusing on our unique Vermeat Red Standard, which emphasizes ethical and sustainable farming.

We ship our beef anywhere within two days' travel from one of our farms, covering New England and the New York City tristate area, ensuring our meat arrives fresh.

We ship out our boxes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. This schedule ensures that your Vermeat box doesn’t get caught in transit over the weekend, preserving the freshness and quality of our products for your enjoyment.

Certainly! We offer local pickups at select farms for those who'd like to visit us. Come and experience where your food comes from.

Each of our meat boxes is a curated selection of premium cuts, each raised with care, following our Vermeat Red Standard.

We pack our beef with love, and the utmost attention, vacuum-sealing it for freshness, and use insulated packaging to ensure it reaches your doorstep at the healthiest temperature. Sometimes, however, the seal on vacuum packed meat can be compromised when in contact with dry ice, so please review our Terms of Service regarding our refund policy.

Intensive rotational grazing keeps our soil healthy and grass robust, conserves water, and creates a diverse animal habitat. It's our way of respecting the Earth and keeping our cows happy and healthy.

Our intensive rotational grazing techniques ensure that our soil remains healthy and our grass stays robust.

Not only does this conservation method help us conserve water, but it also creates a diverse animal habitat.

Vermeat beef is rich in nutrients and flavor due to our grass-feeding and intensive rotational grazing practices, offering a healthier alternative to mass-produced, grain-fed beef.
