Moink Reviews

Moink Box is a farmer owned company that aims to connect ethically-conscious meat eaters with small farms providing humanely raised and ethically sourced meats.

The farmers saw the challenges that they had getting their meats into the hands of consumers that wanted it and the challenges that consumers had in finding ethically raised meats.

An additional part of the mission of  connecting farm to consumer is to take a stand against corporate giants that are taking over the food system.

Moink is very specific in their sourcing and raising of animals and through their boxes they bring together multiple farms with different specialties to deliver the meat to your door.

While they are similar products, Moink seems to be more connected to their product because they are farmers and began their business with other farmers.

It's clear that they have a sense of commitment to the welfare of the animals and a mission to improve the food to table process.

Moink box also has specific options for each box which you can later customize. Moink Box does offer more seafood options than Butcher Box does.
