What is Carnivore Club?
They know that men (and carnivorous women of course) want to expand their meat experience beyond bacon and Slim Jims. Even beyond a gourmet summer sausage.
The club works, each month, with a single artisan to develop a theme for each box, delivering four to six cured meats for your consumption.
There are two levels of membership to sample and various delivery schedules that allow you to dial up your meat consumption to the maximum your ticker will allow.
The Snack Box
The smaller of the two box subscription choices, the snack box is geared to people on the go. It provides artisan jerky and pepperettes that can be eaten anywhere. The snack box will set you back $30 plus $10 shipping to try it out one time, or $24 plus shipping if you sign up for the subscription service.
The Classic Box
The classic box is the original offering of four to six meats. The classic box is $45 for a one off trial plus shipping, or $39 per box based on the subscription service. You're getting 20 - 32 ounces of artisan meat for that price.
One cool thing they offer is the ability to upgrade your first box to a wooden crate that you can keep into perpetuity. That one time option will run you an additional $30 for your first order. They do recommend that you keep your meat refrigerated, so you're not going to be storing your meat in the box, but you can frame up each delivery for Instagram before you put it away. Carnivore Club is very social media friendly.
What better way to sample some really high quality meats?

Carnivore Club Review
This is a pretty new service, so take a look at Carnivore Club review, but in the meantime, you'll get started with the pros and cons of this delicious subscription box.
Pros Vs Cons of Carnivore Club
There's a lot to like about this club. Take a look at the pros and cons to get a good idea of what you're likely getting yourself into.
Pros
- These aren't meats you're going to find at the local deli. These are truly works of art that will cause your taste buds to dance.
- Multiple shipping schedules allow you to get a box per month, every two months, or even every three months. So, if you're not a huge meat eater, you can still dip your toe in the water.
- Price. Meat is expensive generally, so getting up to 32 oz of meat for the $40 per month isn't bad at all.
- The wooden crate option is pretty cool.
- The Marketplace exists so you can buy prior offerings if they have some left over.
- Shipping available in all 50 states, the EU (and the UK... thanks Brexit), and Australia.
Cons
- Shipping is $9.99. Charging for shipping is a trend among subscription boxes these days, but we're still spoiled in thinking it should be free.
- You can't choose what you're going to receive. You are at the mercy of the meat gods at Carnivore Club when it comes to what they're putting in your box.
