With retailers battling with online queues of over two hours and many customers struggling to find delivery slots until late April, now is a great time to consider supporting independent businesses who offer delivery services and subscription boxes.

Farmison & Co

Online businesses like the ethically-founded butchery Farmison & Co are determined to keep providing fresh food to customers up and down the country and have made the necessary adjustments to keep up with demand and deliver the goods to their customers. It’s ‘business as usual’ for the premium supplier, as the team are working around the clock to continue to offer next day delivery* of their plentiful meat boxes (both subscription and non-subscription options available) for home cooking and freezing. They have even fashioned a self-isolation plan so that all boxes are being delivered with no signature required and a ‘safe place’ option for customers to pick themselves.

Browse the website and shop the widest range of cuts in the UK here. Alternatively, opt for a subscription ‘Eat Better Meat Box’.

Please see listed below a range of meatbox subscription options for singles, couples and families alike.
