For many Alberta families, keeping a freezer stocked with quality meat just makes sense.
It makes meal planning easier, reduces last-minute trips to the grocery store, and means you've always got the foundation for a great family dinner waiting at home.
Traditionally, stocking a freezer with local meat often meant buying a quarter, half, or even a whole animal.
That can be a great option for some families.
But what if you want the convenience and value of buying meat in bulk without filling your entire freezer with one type of protein?
That's exactly why we created the Hungry Herd Mega Freezer Pack.
A Better Way to Buy Meat in Bulk in Alberta
Buying bulk meat can be economical and convenient, but there's one big challenge:
Variety.
Buy a quarter or half beef and you're committing a significant amount of freezer space to beef.
You'll get steaks and other popular cuts—but you'll also have ground beef, roasts and other cuts to work through.
For families who regularly eat beef, chicken and pork, that may not reflect the way they actually cook.
The Hungry Herd Mega Freezer Pack takes a different approach.
It's designed to give Alberta families a well-stocked freezer with the variety they actually use for everyday meals.
That means more options when someone asks:
"What's for dinner?"
Local Alberta Beef You Can Feel Good About
Quality starts with knowing where your food comes from.
Hungry Herd sources premium beef from trusted Alberta producers.
Our beef is:
-
Grass-fed
-
Grass-finished
-
Slow-grown
-
Locally raised in Alberta
-
Sourced from producers using regenerative farming practices
For customers searching for grass-fed beef in Alberta, we think an important distinction is worth understanding.
Grass-fed and grass-finished aren't necessarily the same thing.
Cattle may spend much of their lives eating grass or forage but transition to a grain-based ration during the finishing stage.
Hungry Herd beef is both grass-fed and grass-finished.
It's part of our commitment to being clear about the meat we sell and where it comes from.
More Than Just Alberta Beef
We love Alberta beef.
But most families don't eat steak every night.
One night might be burgers.
The next might be chicken.
Then pork.
Then tacos.
Then steak on Saturday.
That's why the Mega Freezer Pack is designed around variety.
Instead of committing your freezer to hundreds of pounds of a single animal, you can keep different proteins on hand and choose what works for your family that night.
It's especially useful for busy families who want to plan ahead without planning every single dinner weeks in advance.
Make Back-to-School Meal Planning Easier
When school starts, family schedules change quickly.
School.
Work.
Hockey.
Dance.
Soccer.
Homework.
Lunches.
Then, at about five o'clock every afternoon, somebody asks:
"What's for dinner?"
Having a well-stocked freezer doesn't eliminate the question—but it makes answering it much easier.
When quality meat is already at home, you've got the most important part of dinner covered.
Ground beef can become tacos, burgers, pasta sauce or meatballs.
Chicken can become a quick stir-fry, sheet-pan dinner, protein bowl or grilled entrée.
Pork makes an easy family dinner.
And when you've got a little more time, there's always steak night.
A well-stocked freezer gives you options.
Less Time at the Grocery Store
There's another benefit that's easy to underestimate:
Convenience.
Think about how many grocery trips begin because you need something for dinner.
Buying meat in larger quantities means fewer trips to replenish your family's protein supply.
You can shop for vegetables, fruit and other fresh ingredients as needed while knowing the main part of dinner is already at home.
For busy Alberta families, that convenience can be every bit as valuable as the meat itself.
An Alternative to Buying a Quarter Cow in Alberta
If you've been researching where to buy local beef in Alberta, you've probably come across farms selling quarter, half and whole animals.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that model.
In fact, it's an excellent choice for families who have plenty of freezer space and regularly use a wide range of beef cuts.
But it isn't the only way to buy local Alberta meat.
Hungry Herd offers another option.
You can stock up without:
-
Purchasing hundreds of pounds of beef
-
Finding room for a massive freezer order
-
Coordinating an animal purchase
-
Receiving large quantities of cuts your family rarely eats
-
Limiting your freezer to one type of protein
You get the convenience of buying meat in quantity with more flexibility over what goes into your freezer.
Premium Meat Delivered to Your Door
Buying local shouldn't have to mean spending your Saturday driving around Alberta picking up meat from several different producers.
Hungry Herd brings the experience online.
Choose your box.
Place your order.
We'll bring premium meat directly to your door.
It's a simple way to access local Alberta meat delivery while supporting the kind of food system we believe in.
