Any business owner knows there is nothing better than a 5-star review!

It’s a good feeling to know that someone took the time out of their busy life to leave kind words about your product or service.

The social proof (that is what the marketing people call it) is so important to building our business. When you see that someone has ordered beef from us and is happy with the experience, it makes it just a little easier to take the first step to do it yourself.

It’s hard to try new things! Ask me how long I let my Instant Pot sit in the box before I finally gave it a whirl.

So, we appreciate it when you leave a review. We know the last thing most of us want to do is write a paragraph that will get published on the internet. So…thank you!

Reading through our Google reviews is a chance to understand what it is that our customers value about our business. So, let’s get into it!

The Taste of Blue Cedar Beef

It is no surprise to us that the taste and quality of the meat are the number one thing that gets mentioned in reviews. We control every aspect of beef production: selecting the Angus genetics, the feeding, the grazing, the care-taking, the butchering, the aging process, and the packaging. Every one of these steps has an impact on the final product.

The taste shines over beef purchased from other places. We are proud of our efforts and thankful that you notice it, too! You can read more about the beef and the aging process here.

Customer Service at Blue Cedar Beef

The second most commented on aspect of our business is our customer service. I’ll go ahead and take credit for that because the customer service around here is me! We are a small, family-owned business so when you email or call I am the one answering. I love talking to customers and answering questions about our farm and our beef. The service part is easy for me.

Ordering from Blue Cedar Beef

We’ve done a lot of work on the front end of things to make ordering as easy as possible! I’ve traveled to workshops and conferences to learn how to run a modern, beef shipping business that makes the customer experience as seamless as possible.

Many of our reviews from customers talk about how fast and easy it is to order and ship Blue Cedar Beef from our farm right to your doorstep.

You can make an order any time that works for you, our website is open 24-7. As long as you get your order in by 11:59 PM Eastern time on Monday night - we will ship your beef to you on Tuesday and it’ll arrive on your doorstep by Wednesday or Thursday. We pack it with care in dry ice and insulated boxes so that everything remains frozen.

Knowing Where Your Food Comes From

The next thing that is mentioned most often in the reviews is how people enjoy knowing exactly where their beef comes from. They love our story and following the farm. They want transparency about their food and where it comes from.

We raise our cattle here on the farm and then we deliver them to a local processing facility. After being processed and dry-aged for 21 days, the beef returns to us and is stored in our freezers here on the farm. Your order comes in and I package it and ship it.

This is the farm-to-table experience that many people are looking for. We have tried to make it as easy as possible.

The Price is Nice

We know that dry-aged Certified Angus beef from a family farm in Virginia is likely considered a luxury good to some people. So, we were pleased to see that another conversation point mentioned in our reviews was our pricing.

We strive to keep our prices steady so our customers know what to expect. That is considerably different than what you may have noticed at the grocery store. There are a lot of elements that go into beef pricing and changes in the beef industry, but we try to insulate our customers from that as much as possible. Our prices are our prices and we haven’t changed them much over the years.

We are thankful that our customers notice that we try to provide top quality with a consistent and reasonable pricing structure.

Is Blue Cedar Beef right for you?

If you’ve never ordered before these reviews might just convince you to give us a try. You can go to our website and you’ll notice that orders over $129 ship for free. I might suggest trying:

Ground Beef Special Box - $129 - 15 lbs of ground beef in 1-pound packages
Sampler Box - $129 - specific cuts of steak and ground beef
Farmer’s Choice Box - $195 - 15 lbs of assorted cuts including roast, ground beef, and steaks
***The Farmer’s Choice Box allows you to communicate some of your preferences with me and we’ll build the box to suit your needs.

The Monthly Beef Share

Once you’ve ordered our beef and decided you’d like to enjoy it more often it is a good time to check out our Monthly Beef Share which starts at $159.

You can have beef delivered each month or every other month. Whatever works best for you. It also ensures that you never pay for shipping and you always have beef in the freezer or on the way.

Our Monthly Beef Share customers like this option because they can communicate their preferences and then “set it and forget it” if they wish. It makes budgeting easier and it’s one less thing to think about.
