The cuts are trimmed well and I haven't had any issues with the meat.

I like the variety; wish we could choose a leaner ground beef option or substitute it with a ground turkey/chicken

We so appreciate your honest feedback and we shall surely pass this along to our team as we continue to grow our offerings. We do offer a ground sirloin in our build your own box option! This will be a leaner option to make burgers with if you choose to do so!

Pretty good products, only lost three items to pinhole or bad vacuum sealing, better than may previous two boxes where almost half were lost.

Everything I need, nothing I don’t. Pre-cut chicken was perfect. I am very picky about trimming off any fat or veins, etc. I did not have to trim at all! (My dog was disappointed though 🤣)

This is a great all around kit for a variety of beef and chicken dishes. I'm considering adding more pork options to round out this delivery.

I’m very happy with these meats. My only question is about the The chicken pieces. I use them for stir frying, but they are randomly sized strips and chunks, so I have to try to get them into more uniform size.

Meat is good. Customer service is not great!

Hi Lisa! Thank you for your review. We're so sorry you haven't had a good customer experience. We noticed that we reached out to you but have yet to hear back from you regarding your previous month's order. If there's anything more we can do, please let us know!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The meat is great, the quality is really good. I do not like that it was switched away from the Ranch steak. We don't eat the cubed beef, so it's just sitting in the freezer - it's a cut of meat that is just not enjoyable so I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.

Hi Tina! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're glad the meat quality is great for you! We want to help with that if we can. We can send you some recipes on how to slow cook our steak tips to perfection or we can swap it back to include Ranch steaks instead for you! Just reach out to our customer experience team and we'd be happy to help!

I still like the variety and convenience of individual "couple-sized" packages of beef and chicken. It seems the portions have gotten smaller, tho, and 2 chicken breasts (packaged together) don't even look like ONE breast used to. 😏

Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re so glad it’s been great for variety but we surely do hear you on our chicken breasts. At Good Ranchers, we believe that quality starts with careful selection and responsible sourcing. Our chickens are harvested as younger birds and are not fed for size like larger grocery store birds. This ensures the meat stays tender and flavorful, but it can also result in smaller portions than what you might typically see. Each piece is hand-trimmed and portioned to provide the best texture and freshness while saving you prep time in the kitchen.

Your feedback has been shared with our team for further review as we continue working to improve our products and service. We also appreciate you reaching out to our Customer Experience team for assistance if you ever need it!

I live alone, but I like to cook for people and the essentials box is just perfect for what I need . One month I had to skip a box because I still had so much left that I didn’t have room in my freezer.
