Porter Road

What's in the box: A box you build yourself from pasture-raised beef, pork and chicken cuts, such as steaks, roasts and dry aged burgers.

Porter Road is a butcher-run meat delivery service. It sources animals from US pastures and does its dry aging and hand cutting at its own facility in Kentucky. The range covers beef, pork and chicken, and all of it is sold as pasture-raised with no hormones and no antibiotics. Dry aged burgers are its signature item. The shop also groups cuts into grilling and crowd-feeding selections. Subscribers build their own box instead of getting a fixed assortment, which suits people who know what they like to cook. Deliveries can be set for every 2, 4 or 8 weeks, and subscription orders save 15%. One-time orders are also available if you want to try the meat before you commit. The site promotes free shipping nationwide but asks you to check your state, so confirm you qualify before ordering. The main drawbacks are range and detail. Although the service sits in the meat and seafood category, the site does not show any seafood, lamb or other proteins. It also gives little detail up front about farm partners or box sizes, so comparing value takes some digging through product pages. If you want dry aged, hand-cut beef and pork from a dedicated butcher on a flexible schedule, it is a solid, focused choice.
