5 Recipes to Try this Month with Your Cotton Cattle Subscription Box

It’s safe to say we’re pretty blown away by the amount of customers investing in our NEW Subscription Box. Although, we can’t honestly say that we’re surprised. When you think about about it, who wouldn’t be on board for:

• Nourishing their body and their loved ones with nutritious protein and essential vitamins.

• Not wondering if products are in stock - subscribers are guaranteed monthly availability.

• Having one less thing to remember - automatic monthly delivery for the win!

• Putting money back into the local community. 

• A routine investment in the environment.

With all those perks, we still understand that some people may be turned off by the intimidation factor - what in the world do I make with this meat each month?! That’s where these blogs come into play. We share recipe roundups regularly and have even begun a Subscription Feature where we specifically share recipes and tips relative to the items in the Subscription Box. I guess that’s just one other perk we could add to the list above. Enjoy!
