The sponsor of today’s podcast is Butcher Box. Butcher Box is my go-to when it comes to getting meat in the United States. By the time this podcast is published, I would have gone to and probably come back from the United States of America. Now I’m on my way tomorrow, and I’m a little uncertain about the quality of the food and meat that I’m going to be getting. Produce is one thing but meat I can get delivered directly to my door through Butcher Box. They have 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef, organic free-range chicken (oh yeah), as well as heritage breed pork - all delivered directly to your door. So if you go butcherbox.com/boomer (as in my name), they’ll give you USD15 off your first order and free bacon. You get free bacon on your first order. USD15 off. Free bacon, I’ve said it again. Free bacon. It’s raining gold. Enjoy.
