Month: January 2025

National Meat Week, running January 26 – February 2, is a tribute to the timeless role of meat in nourishing and strengthening us. First celebrated in 2005, this week highlights the joy and benefits of incorporating high-quality, nutrient-dense meat into our lives. Meat truly is the ultimate health food, offering the protein, vitamins, and minerals our bodies thrive on.

In our kitchen, we live this celebration every week, fueling our family with approximately 20 pounds of premium meat to support five busy lives. In honor of National Meat Week, we’re offering some exclusive specials for our subscribers the next two weekends only, through Sunday, February 2, 2025.

If you’re inspired to dig deeper into the benefits of a meat-rich lifestyle, check out resources from advocates like Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, or Dr. Ken Berry. Their work sheds light on the profound health impacts of a carnivore or meat-forward diet.

Let’s celebrate National Meat Week together with all of our delicious offerings. Perfect for meal planning, stocking your freezer, or trying something new.

As we reach the quarter mark of winter, the cooler temperatures invite us to slow down and enjoy hearty, nourishing meals. Now is the perfect time to savor comforting dishes that warm you from the inside out while building a strong nutritional foundation for the season ahead.

This week, we’re highlighting some of our favorite cuts of beef and pork to inspire your winter cooking. From pork belly to beef stew meat, roasts, shanks, and bones, we’ve got everything you need to create delicious, satisfying meals for your family.

To help get you started, here’s a simple recipe for a classic homemade beef stew:

Easy Beef Stew Recipe

• 1 lb beef stew meat
• 2 tbsp Bariani extra virgin olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 potatoes, cubed
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef stew meat on all sides, then remove and set aside.
2. In the same pot, sauté the onion and carrots until softened.
3. Add the tomato paste and stir for a minute before returning the beef to the pot.
4. Pour in the beef broth, add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on low heat for 1.5–2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld.

Pair it with a slice of crusty bread, and you’ve got a meal to remember.

Heads up for this weekend! Due to shipping delays from our cold storage in Kodiak, we’re short on salmon. It’ll be first come, first served, but don’t worry—next week, we’ll have a full inventory again.

In the meantime, this is the perfect opportunity to try an assortment of whitefish, and they’re ALL on sale! Treat yourself to black cod (sablefish) filets, miso black cod filet portions, smoked black cod filet portions, and halibut filet portions. Stock up while supplies last—these deals won’t stick around for long! Take a look at our full product list, including sale prices on all the whitefish.

We’ll see you at the market! Beef, pork, honey, dates, and olive oil are all in stock.

Catch You Soon,

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, it’s a perfect time to reflect, recharge, and nurture what matters most. While the calendar says “new,” winter still wraps us in its quiet, deliberate rhythm—a gentle reminder that change doesn’t have to be hurried.

This season is ideal for slow-cooked meals, hearty soups, and the satisfaction of knowing your freezer is stocked with thoughtfully sourced food. Whether you’re savoring wild Alaska salmon or grass-fed beef, our offerings help you create meals that nourish and connect your family.

Exciting news—starting this weekend, we’ll be back at our favorite Phoenix farmers markets! We can’t wait to see your familiar faces and help you stock up for these cooler months. As always, we’ll bring our best selection to make your meal planning easier and your table more abundant.

If you’re easing into the year or tackling new goals, let us help by ensuring your freezer is ready with the highest quality options. There’s no rush—just the comfort of knowing you’re stocked with nourishing food as life settles into its January rhythm.

Let’s embrace the slow and steady pace of winter together, thriving in ’25 with each meal that warms your home.

Grateful to be part of your table,
