From Independent Farms to Your Doorstep

Think of a share as your personal stake in a whole animal—just without needing a dedicated freezer in your garage.

See, we started out like a traditional meat CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), but we’ve reimagined it to make it more convenient. Each month, you get the equivalent of a whole animal share: cuts of the highest-quality pasture-raised meat delivered, curated based on your tastes and delivered to your door.

By evenly distributing the entire animal across our community, we honor the whole animal and reduce waste—a win for your wallet and the environment.

This approach means you get an incredible variety of cuts over time, from mouthwatering steaks to rich, slow-cooking roasts, all without the factory-farming guilt trip.

Plus, if you ever want something specific—extra bacon for breakfast, that brisket for your backyard smoker or even staples like milk eggs and cheese—we’ve got you covered with à la carte offerings to supplement your share.

It’s better meat, responsibly sourced, for a food system that actually works for everyone. Simple, right?

Absolutely, yes. We work with members every day to help accommodate a variety of allergies and dietary restrictions, from gluten sensitivities to histamine intolerance and beyond. If there’s something you need, just let us know—we’re here to help you enjoy better meat with peace of mind.

Many of our members join Walden specifically for health reasons, whether it’s eliminating processed foods, seeking clean, nutrient-dense options, or avoiding triggers for specific allergies. While we’re not registered dietitians, our Member Experience Team is happy to help customize your share to suit your needs—or simply chat through your concerns and find the best fit for your situation. Just shoot us an email at members@waldenlocalmeat.com and we’ll take it from there.

Eating better isn’t just about what’s on your plate; it’s about feeling good, too. We’re honored to be part of that journey. Let us know how we can help!

Or, to put it another way: How do you know what I actually want to eat?

We start by building your share around you. When you join Walden, you tell us what works for your household—how much meat you’d like, which proteins you prefer (beef, pork, chicken, or all of the above), and if you’d like to add on items like sausage, bacon, or eggs. Prefer not to see certain cuts? No problem. Our custom share option allows you to exclude anything that’s not your style.

But it doesn’t stop there. Life changes, seasons change, and so can your share. Whether you’re grilling more in the summer, stocking up for a big family holiday, or just rethinking how much ground beef you really need in the freezer, you can adjust your share anytime. Our Member Experience Team is here to make sure your share works for you. Have questions or want to fine-tune? Email us at members@waldenlocalmeat.com—we’re happy to help.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all box. It’s better meat, built to fit your life.

Not exactly—and we think that’s a good thing. Here’s why:

We go beyond organic in many ways. While organic certification might sound like the gold standard, it’s often out of reach for small-scale farmers. The certification process is expensive, time-consuming, and has been co-opted by factory farming giants who bend the rules to slap an organic label on products that don’t align with the spirit of sustainable farming.

At Walden, we trust our farmers to use common-sense practices to care for their animals and the land—because they’ve been doing it for generations. They pledge not to use pesticides, herbicides, or antibiotics. They embrace rotational grazing, nurture healthy soil, and raise animals as nature intended. And we don’t just take their word for it. We regularly audit our farms to ensure they’re upholding the Walden Way—our own set of rigorous standards that prioritize animal welfare, environmental health, and superior meat quality.

Here’s the kicker: Much of the organic beef you see in grocery stores still comes from cows raised in feedlots, eating organic corn or grain. While that might meet the USDA’s requirements, it’s not even close to what we’d call natural or healthy. Cows are grazers, plain and simple. Grain—organic or not—throws their digestive systems out of whack and produces meat that’s lower in nutrients and packed with unhealthy fats.

Walden beef? It’s 100% grass-fed and finished. No corn, no soy, no grain of any kind—ever. The result is better meat: higher in Omega-3s, lower in saturated fat, and loaded with flavor that factory farms just can’t touch.

So no, we’re not “organic.” We’re something better. It’s farming done right.

We sure do—and it’s every bit as exceptional as our meat.

Our seafood is 100% wild-caught, sourced straight from the cold, clean waters of the Atlantic. From haddock to swordfish, hake, skate, monkfish, black sea bass, pollock, and more, we bring you a variety of fresh, sustainably harvested options that change with the seasons.

But here’s what makes our seafood truly stand out: transparency. We don’t just know where it came from—we know who caught it, when it was caught, and even which boat brought it into port. That’s because we work directly with local fishermen who share our commitment to sustainability and traceability. No mystery fillets. No farm-raised substitutes. Just honest, traceable seafood that connects you directly to the waters and communities that made it possible.

So yes, we offer seafood—but not just any seafood. This is better seafood, responsibly harvested and locally sourced, brought to you with the same care and trust you expect from Walden.

Absolutely! Your share is built around your preferences, so you’re always in control. Here’s how it works:

You decide which proteins you’d like to receive—beef, pork, chicken, lamb (+$10), seafood (+$10)—and we’ll pack your share with a rotating selection of cuts that match your preferences. You can also set dietary restrictions or exclude certain cuts entirely with our Custom Share option, so your share works for your household’s tastes and needs.

Want to keep things simple? Our Just Grind share is exactly what it sounds like—ground meat only. Curious about the variety in our Basics, Complete, or Custom shares? Check out our full product list for a breakdown of what might arrive.

And here’s the best part: You can update your preferences, share size, or protein selections anytime through your preferences page. Whether you’re feeding a growing family, adjusting for seasonal recipes, or just want more (or less) of something, it’s easy to make your share fit your life.

At Walden, our way is your way.

Life happens, and we get it. That’s why we make it easy to adjust your membership whenever you need to.

You can skip a month anytime by selecting the “Skip” or “Makeup Day” option on your member page—just make sure to do so before your share has been packed (we’ll send you a few email reminders ahead of time!). Heading out of town or need a longer break? No problem. Just email us at members@waldenlocalmeat.com, and we’ll put your deliveries on hold until you’re ready to dive back in.

If you’re looking for a more flexible delivery schedule, we also offer every-other-month or every-third-month shares. It’s a great way to keep enjoying better meat at a pace that works for your household.

Want to cancel altogether? We’ll be sad to see you go, but our Member Experience Team is here to help. Just give us a call or email us, and we’ll take care of it. And if you decide to come back, you can restart anytime without having to re-enter your details.

You’re in control. Better meat, no strings attached.
