Papa Earth is advertised as a meat subscription service that does different sized boxes arriving at regular intervals. They do have a bulk meat order section that we found pretty easily while searching their site.
Papa Earth is a box and bulk meat & fish delivery service. According to their website: “Good meals start with good meat and fish. Local, free-range and sustainable sourced. That’s Papa Earth”.
Bulk Price Savings for Meat and Fish: The minimum spend at Papa Earth for bulk ordering is $1,250. Below this amount a delivery fee will be charged.
Price Transparency: Pricing is transparent for the bulk ordering. All prices are advertised by the pound. Their box subscription works a little differently where it has pre-set box prices that you fill based on a coin system. We were referred to their bulk order program for the best prices. There is no extra fee for Papa Earth bulk.
Price Level: Low (2nd best out of 12 reviewed in Toronto, GTA.)
Product Claims, Sourcing, and Certification: Papa Earth offers only locally sourced meats and wild-caught fish. There is information on each type of meat and where it comes from. The site explains some farming and processing practices and mentions the applicable trademarks and certifications of their meat. Their site has clear tabs for this information and some videos from their farming partners.
Ordering Process: Simple. You can custom build your order online.
Customer Service and Reviews: We emailed Papa Earth once and were responded to quickly. The bulk ordering is straight forward
