ButcherBox’s Post

Last weekend the ButcherBox team was in Iowa for the 26th Annual Niman Ranch Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration. A true celebration of the 600+ farmers that make up the Niman Ranch Network and all the work they do to raise their animals with care. The weekend was filled with farm tours, inspiring, educational content led by the Food Tank team, incredible food, and an appearance from the renowned animal welfare advocate, Dr. Temple Grandin. It was not only a celebration of all the dedication and work of the Niman Ranch farmers, but also served to recognize the great work young farmers are committed to doing in furthering their education through the Next Generation Foundation Scholarship program. ButcherBox has been a proud supporter of the scholarship foundation since 2019, contributing $350,000 to date, and we feel incredibly honored to help inspire younger generations of farmers to come back to their family farms and raise animals right. #ButcherBox #AnimalWelfare #FarmerAppreciation

Last week, our team joined our suppliers, Niman Ranch and True Story Foods, and some of their incredible farmers, Trisha Zachman and Russ Kremer, in Washington, DC to meet with law makers in the House and Senate and share our strong opposition to the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act.   This bill, found in the upcoming Farm Bill, would overturn common-sense animal welfare laws including Massachusetts Question 3 and California’s Prop 12, has tremendous negative impact on farmers and their livelihoods, and goes directly against ButcherBox’s mission to transform the meat industry by doing right by animals, farmers, and the planet.   We are grateful to U.S. Representative Jim McGovern (MA-2) and U.S. Representative Jim Costa (CA-21) for meeting with our team as we shared our commitment to this issue through our open letter to Congress that was supported by 24 food brands, including Whole Foods Market, Thrive Market and Applegate.   Read our coalition’s open letter to Congress ⬇️ https://bchrbox.co/EATsAct   #FarmBill #EATsAct #ButcherBox

At ButcherBox, our culture has never been defined by unlimited vacation or swag. To us, culture is about two things: core values and people. Our core values play an enormous role in our recruiting, interviewing, and hiring process, which ensures we are bringing the right people to the team to build a supportive, collaborative, and fun atmosphere for everyone to learn and grow.

This week, the House of Representative’s released the framework of their proposed 2024 Farm Bill, which include a version of the EATs Act — a piece of legislation ButcherBox has been opposing for months alongside Whole Foods Market, Niman Ranch, True Story Foods, Thrive Market, and more than 20 others.   This bill would overturn common-sense animal welfare laws including California’s Prop 12 and MA Q3 and goes directly against ButcherBox’s mission to transform the meat industry by doing right by animals, farmers, and the planet. ButcherBox is dedicated to continuing our opposition to this bill by urging our Congressional members and leadership to keep EATs language out of the final bill text. We’re not willing to take this massive step backward in the fight to fix the food system.   Read our open letter to Congress ⬇️ https://bchrbox.co/EATsAct #FarmBill #EATsAct #ButcherBox
