Walden Local Meat Co. sets out to produce grass-fed meat at affordable (but equitable) prices. While more expensive than the meat you would buy at the grocery store, Walden does not charge a delivery fee to help bring their meats to you. "While we can't bring our meat everywhere, the program doesn't work if we don't help get you our meats. We deliver all throughout the Boston area, as well to many areas in Rhode Island and Connecticut." While their products might be more expensive, the overall health benefits to you as the consumer and the environmental benefits are worth it. In addition, their approach to free-range farming actually requires less cost from production. The benefits outweigh the cost.
None of their meats are contaminated with antibiotics, hormones, or pesticides.
The way Walden uses the land is incredibly interesting and really promotes a more ethical use of the environment. They use "unusable grasslands" (of which there are over 600 million acres in the U.S. alone), which create a very natural cycle of rain/water input to grow the grass, which the cows feed on and then fertilize themselves. This is not only serving their business by providing better meats, but it is also putting underutilized grass areas to use.
