A quick moment of gratitude.. For nearly a decade, our team has been tirelessly working to source animal products that are humanely raised and sustainably sourced so we can deliver them directly to our customer’s doors.
Today, we’ve been recognized by the @ASPCA’s Shop With Your Heart® program, which highlights brands that are making an impact on animal welfare. As one of very few brands who can say that we source all our products from partners with third-party animal welfare certifications, we are proud that our work is being recognized by such an established and respected organization.
While there will always be more work to be done and room to improve, @ButcherBox we are committed to better. Better for the planet. Better for the farmers, workers and our customers. And of course, better for the animals.
