Meal Planning with a Meat Package: 50+ Meals from One Order

When you open your freezer and see it full of local, farm-raised meat, there’s a sense of comfort and security. Our meat packages are designed to make meal planning simple, affordable, and delicious. Buying in bulk not only saves you money, it also saves you countless last-minute trips to the grocery store. Best of all, you’ll have high-quality, all-natural meat raised right here in New Hampshire, ready for any recipe.

How Far Does a Meat Package Go?

One of the most common questions we hear is, “How many meals can I really get out of a meat package?” The answer often surprises people. A typical package of 40–50 pounds of pork, beef, or buffalo can create over 50 meals for a family of four. That’s because most meal planning is based on a 4-ounce portion of protein per person.

Here’s the math:

• 1 pound of meat = 4 servings

• 40 pounds of meat = about 160 servings

• 50 pounds of meat = about 200 servings

That means a quarter pig or beef package could easily cover two to three months of dinners, depending on how often you cook at home.

Variety That Keeps Meals Interesting

Another benefit of our meat packages is variety. Each order includes a mix of cuts, ground meat, roasts, chops, ribs, steaks, and more, so you’ll never feel stuck making the same meal over and over. For example, ground buffalo or pork is perfect for tacos, burgers, and chili. Roasts are ideal for slow cooker meals that stretch across several days. Steaks or chops make for quick, flavorful weeknight dinners.

Having a variety of cuts on hand allows you to rotate through recipes without boredom while still sticking to a budget-friendly meal plan.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Package

• Plan a weekly menu. Write down what cuts you’ll use so you’re not caught scrambling at 5 p.m.

• Cook once, eat twice. Roast a larger cut of meat, then use leftovers for sandwiches, wraps, or stir-fry the next day.

• Try freezer-to-slow-cooker meals. Prep a few recipes in advance, freeze them, and then drop them into the slow cooker when you’re ready.

• Mix and match. Combine different meats for variety, buffalo chili with pork sausage, or beef stir-fry with buffalo tips.

More Than Just Convenience

Stocking your freezer with a bulk meat package is about more than just saving time and money. It’s also about peace of mind. You know exactly where your food comes from, how the animals were raised, and that your purchase supports a local farm committed to sustainable stewardship.

When you’re meal planning with one of our packages, you’re not just feeding your family, you’re investing in your health, your community, and the land.
