Here’s the weekly roundup from Watson Farms and your direct connection to your farmer. Enjoy the latest edition of Pasture Posts!

We know that purchasing meat online is a relatively new experience for many of you, so we want to make the process as easy and convenient as possible. So every once in a while we like to post some frequently asked questions to help you better understand the ins and outs of buying proteins directly from a farm through a website.

As always if you have questions as you navigate the website, there is a Help Widget in the bottom right. Type your question there and any relevant help articles will show up. If that doesn’t do the trick, then you can message or call us from that Help Widget as well.

We look forward to the opportunities we have each week to serve you and your family with the best pasture raised proteins out there. Thanks for choosing to source directly from a pasture based family farm!

Tell a Friend!

It’s now easier than ever to Give $15 and Get $15 through our Referral Program. We don’t spend a lot of money of advertising, but rather we focus on producing products that people love and are willing to tell others about. So we depend on word of mouth to find new customers and ultimately to heal more land.

So in an effort to streamline this process we have made it easier to tell others (via email, Facebook, or Twitter) about Watson Farms. And it’s all automated on the backend, so you don’t have to rely on us to issue the store credits manually. Just head over to our Referrals Page and start sharing!

Product Spotlight

Need a convenient way to stock your freezer each month? Sign up for our very popular Pasture Picks Box. These boxes are filled with beef, pork and/or chicken. Selections will vary based on our current inventory, but almost always include a wide variety of high-end cuts as well as common favorites.

You get the option to choose Small (~15 lbs), Standard (~20 lbs) or Large (~30 lbs). You will save on average about 10% with each box. You can choose to receive your box every month or every other month. You can even add eggs or milk to your box (except UPS versions).

This is one of our most popular items that we offer. Sign up today and let the pasture-raised goodness keep on coming!

We re-use packaging!

We’ve seen a good response to our efforts in re-using packaging! Thanks and keep it up.  

You can help us reduce our carbon footprint by returning your CLEAN egg cartons and meat boxes. 

The main reason that we switched to plastic egg cartons a while back was because they are so much more durable than paper which could only be used once.  They also protect the eggs much better!

So if you have some egg cartons or boxes to return, you can just place them on your porch on your home delivery day.  Farm pickup customers can, of course, drop them off when you come to pick up your new order.  

***We can only re-use OUR cartons or boxes. Please re-use or recycle other boxes or egg cartons elsewhere.***

We redact your personal information found on your meat boxes when we re-use them, but feel free to redact to redact it yourself without damaging the box if you would like.  

Thanks for helping us re-use our packaging!

Did you know that we have a webpage that displays all the reviews we have received?  

Check it out!

Check out this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review:

“Ordered a pasture Box and was very impressed with the variety of meats/cuts. We were getting Butcher Box which we really enjoyed but really liked the idea of supporting a local farm but also it is clear the Watson Farms takes exceptional care of the animals and their customers. The delivery was on time and clearly communicated.”

We would greatly appreciate it if you would be kind enough to leave us a review.  It helps first-time customers purchase with confidence.
