What does a NIKU Farms box break down to?

February 25, 2021

We get it, if you’re ordering meat online it’s hard not to second guess whether or not you’ll have enough for your family. When we’re in grocery stores we get to weigh each cut with our own hands and look at sizes to compare.

We’ve taken our own pick of three bundles from Marita Fields – just enough to fill a large box – and broke down what it looks like in terms of meals for a household of four individuals with regular appetites (ex. children will eat less, teenagers might eat more).

The Bundles

Our Steak Bundle includes two pounds of ground beef (one pound per pack), and one pack of two-pound premium steak.

The Roasted Chicken Bundle gets you and your family two 1.25-pound packs of chicken leg quarter, a 1.4-pound chicken breast, and a 3.5-pound whole chicken.

And the Meal Ready Bundle contains two packs of ground beef, two packages of fajita beef, and two packs of stew beef, all ready for you to cook for the family.

Let’s see what we can make with all the contents inside our NIKU Farms order!

Steak Bundle

One pound of grass-fed ground beef is enough to make six servings of spaghetti bolognese sauce. Or one pound of ground beef is also enough to make six servings of meatballs, which is always a crowd-pleaser. Two pounds of premium steak is enough for two servings!

Roasted Chicken Bundle

One whole chicken is enough for a whole roast for four to six servings. Two chicken quarter legs serves two to three people, served with rice or potatoes. One NIKU Farms chicken breast is enough for four servings of any chicken salad. And if you save the chicken bones and scraps, that will make eight cups of chicken bone broth! 

Meal Ready Bundle

Two pounds of ground beef can yield eight hamburger patties, but it can also be used separately for tacos, cheeseburger pizza, mince pies, and more!

Two pounds of stew beef can yield six servings of beef stew, and that’s not including all the potatoes, carrots, and root vegetables you’ll be adding to the mix.

And two pounds of fajita beef can make up to twelve servings of fajita; now that’s a full meal! 

If you add up all of the items, it comes up to at least 50 servings with just one NIKU Farms order! It’s important to remember that you aren’t just eating all of this meat on its own. You’ll have vegetables, carbohydrates, and condiments to complete your well-rounded and nutrition-packed meals.

Of course, it also depends a lot on your own household appetite and how much you can individually eat. 50 servings from one box doesn’t seem like a bad starting point, though. If you’re interested in customizing your own NIKU Farms boxes and giving our sustainably raised meats a try – check out our current product offerings on our website here.
