Gather ’round, it’s Turkey Time!

Regenerative farming is farming the way nature intended—and the way we believe farming should be. At its heart, it’s about working with the land, not against it, to rebuild healthy soil, improve ecosystems, and create food that’s as good for the planet as it is for your plate.

Here’s how it comes to life at Walden: Our farmers use practices like rotational grazing, where cattle and pigs are moved across pastures to naturally fertilize the soil, allowing grass to regenerate and thrive. This isn’t just great for the cows (who are happiest when they’re munching on fresh pasture); it’s also a win for the land, helping it store more carbon and hold onto nutrients. That lush, healthy grass then feeds the animals—and the cycle continues.

For animals like chickens, regenerative farming looks a little different. The crops used to feed them are grown with care, often fertilized by compost or livestock manure, and without the synthetic chemical cocktail that’s standard in industrial farming. Every step is about improving the land instead of depleting it, ensuring a future for both farmers and food lovers alike.

Why does it matter? Because industrial agriculture—the kind that churns out cheap meat by the ton—is destroying our soil, polluting waterways, and pumping out carbon emissions. Regenerative farming flips the script. It rebuilds the soil, nurtures biodiversity, and actively helps combat climate change.

Here’s the catch: It’s rare. Less than 1% of farms in the U.S. are truly regenerative. But at Walden, we’re doubling down. We partner exclusively with farmers committed to these practices and are working to make regenerative farming the rule, not the exception.

Better meat, better soil, better future. That’s regenerative farming. And we’re proud to be leading the charge.

Let’s start with the elephant (or maybe the factory-farmed cow) in the room: grocery store meat comes from a system built to cut costs at the expense of farmers, animals, the environment—and frankly, you. Most of it is raised on massive factory farms, shipped across the country (or the globe), and processed in giant facilities. Big Food works hard to obscure where your food comes from because they know if you saw the truth, you’d put that shrink-wrapped package back on the shelf.

At Walden, we’re rewriting the story. Here’s how:

• A Better System for Farmers: At the grocery store, only $0.15 of every dollar you spend goes back to the farmer. With Walden, it’s $0.55 or more. That means your dollars are directly supporting small-scale, independent farmers who use regenerative practices and care for their animals and the land the right way.
• Exceptional Quality: Factory farming churns out bland, mass-produced meat raised on grains, antibiotics, and stress. Walden meat is pasture-raised, nutrient-dense, and packed with flavor you can actually taste. We even offer unique heirloom cuts you won’t find in any supermarket. Think pork jowls, bavette steaks, or lamb shanks—the kind of cuts chefs love but grocery stores skip.
• Transparency: Every cut in your Walden share is traceable to the local farm it came from. No mystery labels, no middlemen. Just food you can trust.
• Convenience: Skip the crowded aisles and freezer-section guesswork. Walden delivers straight to your door, so you get premium, pasture-raised meat without the hassle of grocery shopping.

Factory farms might own the supermarket shelves, but they don’t own us. The Walden Way is better for farmers, better for animals, better for the planet, and better for you. Because you deserve more than industrialized meat— you deserve meat with integrity.

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.

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.

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.

It’s simple, seamless, and stress-free—because that’s how getting better meat should be. We deliver directly to your door with our own fleet of Walden vans. Delivery is always free, and here’s how it works:

• Pick Your Day: Choose the delivery day that works best for you. We’ll send you reminders ahead of time so you’re always in the loop. Need to adjust? No problem—date changes are easy, and we’re happy to accommodate.
• Cooler Bag with Dry Ice: Your share arrives in a reusable cooler bag packed with dry ice to keep everything frozen, fresh, and ready when you are. And here’s the best part: there’s no need to be home. Your share will stay cold until you’re ready to bring it inside.
• Clear Communication: From scheduling your delivery to letting you know it’s on its way, we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Our goal? To make it as convenient as possible for you to enjoy the best pasture-raised, locally sourced meat—without ever having to brave the grocery store. Walden brings better food straight to your doorstep, exactly when you need it.

Upon signup we will briefly authorize your card to ensure it is valid, then we will remove the hold immediately. We authorize your card for your expected share charge about a week prior to delivery, which gives you time to resolve a billing issue prior to delivery. Your share is then billed when we finalize our delivery routes, about three business days prior to delivery. Please note that add-ons from our monthly specials are generally billed separately. You can find your delivery date on your Next Delivery Page.
