The first time I tried Primal Pastures, I could tell it wasn’t your typical meat delivery. From humble beginnings with 50 backyard chickens in Southern California, this family-run operation has grown into a nationwide maker of “clean” meat—grass-fed, pasture-raised, corn and soy-free, and regenerative to its core. Every bite feels purposeful, connected to real land and mindful farming.
Their Farming Philosophy Grows From a Personal Need
Born from Passion and Personal Healing
The founder started this venture after realizing just how impersonal and chemically-loaded most grocery meat felt. As a father and medical professional, he saw firsthand how traditional farming harmed both bodies and landscapes—so he set out to do meat differently.
Beyond Organic, Fully Regenerative
Primal Pastures goes further than conventional “organic” labels. Their poultry, beef, pork, and lamb are raised where happy animals roam pastures, foraging insects and wild grasses. Their supplemental feed is pure—organic, corn and soy-free, with elements like fish meal and olive oil. This is nutrient-focused farming that respects both animal and ecosystem.
What You’ll Find in Your Delivery
Truly Pure Proteins
- 100% Grass-Fed and Finished Beef
- Pasture-Raised Chicken, Pork, and Lamb—free from hormones, antibiotics, and grains.
- Wild-Caught Fish and Seasonal Boxes—when available, often as part of curated bundles.
A Regenerative U-Pick Farm Just Beyond the Meat Box
Located just outside Murrieta, California is their 30-acre organic u-pick eco-park. Members can stroll through biodiverse fruit and nut orchards, veggie gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes—all while children play on natural playgrounds. It’s a farm that teaches you to slow down and experience food in community.
Simple, Thoughtful Delivery
Every order ships confidently packaged with recyclable inserts and dry ice to ensure freshness. While they don’t offer farm pickup just yet, most meat ships nationwide with regular scheduling slots—from weekly to as-needed.
What Makes Primal Pastures Feel Special
Taste You Can Trust
These aren’t fast-grown birds or corn-fed livestock. The livestock grow longer, graze freely, and deliver flavor—and nutrients—that you can literally taste.
Farming That Honors Nature
They prioritize soil health, rotational grazing, and stewardship with every decision—even powering much of the farm from solar energy. Their approach isn’t industrial—it’s ancestral and intentional.
A Family That Farms—Literally
Still a family-led operation, every member is involved—from feeding animals to answering customer questions. That personal care shows in every step—from how they raise livestock to how they treat you.
Final Reflections on Primal Pastures
Primal Pastures isn’t just a food supplier—it’s a family farming mission you can invite into your dinner routine. It honors animals, ecosystems, and long-term health in a way that resonates whether you’re passionate about nutrition or the planet.
