Back in the day, The Meat Club was formed out of necessity because there were no modern day freezers. Farmers would get together each month or sometimes twice each month depending upon how many people were in the club. Farmers would take turns providing a calf for the group. Someone in the club had a place to do the processing and they would all get together to process the calf and split the meat equally between everyone. Nowadays, not everyone is a farmer, and not everyone has room for a large freezer. Subscribing to The Meat Club makes it possible to get locally raised farm-fresh meat every month, adding predictability to your menu.
