From Butcher Block to Clicks: Interview with Sarah Jones, Founder of “Pasture to Plate”

The convenience of online grocery shopping has become a staple in many households. But what about that juicy steak or those perfectly marbled ground beef patties? Enter Sarah Jones, the passionate entrepreneur behind “Pasture to Plate,” a meat delivery service shaking things up in the online meat market. We recently sat down with Sarah to discuss her journey, vision, and the future of ethical and delicious meat delivery.

From City Lights to Wide-Open Pastures:

Q: Sarah, thanks for joining us! Let’s rewind a bit. What led you from the city to the world of meat delivery?

Sarah: (chuckles) Thanks for having me! It might seem like a big leap, but it all stemmed from frustration. I was a busy professional, and grocery shopping always felt like a chore. But more importantly, I craved high-quality meat, the kind you couldn’t find at the regular supermarket.

Q: So, you decided to become a butcher?

Sarah: Not exactly! The thought of running a brick-and-mortar butcher shop wasn’t for me. But the idea of connecting people with exceptional, ethically sourced meat – that resonated. Technology seemed like the perfect answer.

Building a Business with a Mission:

Q: “Pasture to Plate” focuses on ethically sourced meat. Can you elaborate on that?

Sarah: Absolutely. Factory farming just never sat right with me. I wanted to work with small farms that prioritize animal welfare and sustainable practices. Our farmers raise their animals humanely, with access to pasture and natural feed.

Q: Sounds great, but doesn’t ethical sourcing sometimes mean sacrificing quality?

Sarah: Not at all! In fact, quite the opposite. Happy animals raised in healthy environments produce superior meat. The difference in taste and texture is remarkable.

Q: How did you find these ethical farms?

Sarah: It took a lot of research and travel. I personally visited each farm, met the farmers, and saw their practices firsthand. Building trust and relationships were key.

The Click-to-Cook Revolution:

Q: Let’s talk about delivery. How does “Pasture to Plate” ensure fresh, top-quality meat reaches customers’ doorsteps?

Sarah: We have a robust cold-chain delivery system. Our meat is cut and packaged immediately after butchering, then shipped with specialized ice packs to maintain optimal temperature.

Q: What about customization?

Sarah: Absolutely! Customers can choose curated meat boxes or build their own from a wide variety of cuts – steaks, ground meats, roasts, even specialty items like sausages.

Q: “Pasture to Plate” seems like more than just a delivery service. What’s your vision for the future?

Sarah: We aim to be a one-stop shop for ethically sourced  Ottawa Valley Meats . Beyond delivery, we want to educate people about where their food comes from and the importance of sustainable practices. We’re also exploring offering recipe suggestions and cooking tips to inspire delicious meals.

The Final Cut:

Q: Before we wrap up, what advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs with a passion for food?

Sarah: Don’t be afraid to disrupt the status quo! Do your research, find a niche you believe in, and build strong relationships. Most importantly, be passionate about your product and the impact you want to create.

With Sarah’s dedication and “Pasture to Plate’s” innovative approach, the future of online meat delivery looks bright. Consumers are increasingly seeking high-quality, ethically sourced meat, and Sarah is at the forefront of providing a convenient and delicious solution.
