WHY I LOVE WALDEN LOCAL MEAT + A REFERRAL CODE

Every quarter, I look forward to the Walden Local Meat forest green tote bags that arrive at my door. Walden Local Meat is meat share that carries seafood, bread, pantry items, and some dairy products. Transparent sourcing for high-quality proteins is a tenet of Walden. Meat is pasture-raised and sourced from independent Northeast farmers, while seafood is sourced dock-to-door with a labeled vessel and catch-date on each package.

There are a variety of share types and proteins—including just ground meat to a custom cart— and the frequency is flexible. I opt for the 6-8 pound plan for 2 people that arrives quarterly. I usually opt for the seafood, chicken, pork, and beef, but I occasionally add on lamb. Thanks to the customizable options, I am in the driver’s seat, but I get surprises too. There are a ton of new add-ons and reoccurring subscriptions, including El Barrio tortillas (which I’m obsessed with), buttermilk, cultured buttered, kefir, and I’ve been known to order a pound of frozen chicken livers (excellent for pâté).

I’ve been a customer of Walden for a year and have been quite pleased with my share. The proteins arrive flash-frozen and are well-packaged and sealed. We’ve enjoyed a variety of grass-fed and sustainably-sourced proteins and have been impressed with the quality and freshness. I love using the recipe cards, and it feels good supporting local farms and fishermen.
