ButcherBox is an American subscription-based meat delivery company launched in 2015 by Mike Salguero that ships boxes of frozen grass-fed beef, free-range organic chicken, and heritage breed pork to subscribers in the United States.

History ButcherBox was founded in 2015, with Mike Salguero coming up with the idea after he started supporting his wife suffering from Hashimoto's syndrome by ordering cleaner meat prescribed by doctors and nutritionists to combat her symptoms.

The company holds a B Corporation Certification. ButcherBox is the only B-Corp Certified meat and seafood company to source only from partners with third-party animal welfare certifications.
In May 2024, ButcherBox acquired Truffle Shuffle.
