My First Time Customer Review of Force of Nature Regenerative Meat
Force of Nature is a socially responsible meat company that prioritizes regenerative agriculture and high quality meat that goes beyond organic standards.
Force of Nature defines “regenerative” as the agriculture systems in which this food was raised to honor the systems within Mother Nature. To carry out their mission they care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals, and focus on natural outcomes instead of synthetic inputs. This mean no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces.

For some animals this included grazing and eating the foods they were intended to eat such as grass. I personally believe regeneratively raised meat is a great sustainable choice for conscious consumers who eat meat like me!

My Experience as a New Customer Buying Force of Nature Meat
Force of Nature is a popular choice for a lot of the health and wellness influencers. So, I decided to try it out and see if it’s worth the hype and the cost.
I ended up waiting a while to order. Force of Nature has limited inventory and there were certain items I wanted to get in my order such as the different types of meat balls, ancestral ground beef, and New York strips.
Limited in Stock quantity
It seemed that when one thing came back in stock another one of those items was out of stock.
After a few months of checking back I finally placed my order.
However, a few days after placing my order I got a notification that one of the meatball options I ordered was actually not in stock.
So, they issued me a refund. This was kind of a bummer because I was hoping to try all these items within my order and I did not end up getting to try the Beef Ancestral Blend Classic meatballs.
Due to the regenerative practices, this does result in a higher price point for consumers. Luckily, I found a coupon online which helped with the price a bit.
My Review of Different Regenerative Meats from Force of Nature
I ended up purchasing Bison Osso Buco, Grass Fed Ground Venison Ancestral Blend, Venison Steak Medallions, Regenerative Beef NY Strip Steak, Regenerative Ground Beef Ancestral Blend, and Bison and Beef Homestyle Meatballs.
Upon ordering I was pleased with their quick shipping. I was also thrilled with their additional information on regenerative farming both on their website and in the package. I think it’s great that they’re working to educate other.
Force of Nature has some unique meat options such as elk, bison, wild boar, and venison. I have not eaten or cooked much venison, so I was excited to try it and happy that they have detailed recipes on their website.
Regenerative ground Beef Ancestral Blend Review
Honestly, the Regenerative Ground Beef Ancestral Blend was my favorite item! This ground beef is 100% Grass-fed, grass-finished. It is a blend of Beef, beef liver, and beef heart. I’ve recently been learning about the health benefits of beef liver and beef heart.
So, I was curious to try and see if it tasted differentthan traditional organic ground beef.
I used the Regenerative Beef Ancestral Blend in a meat spaghetti sauce and I could not tell a difference in taste. Neither could my husband…I didn’t tell him until after we ate it!
Grass Fed Venison Product Review
I purchased the Grass Fed Ground Venison Ancestral Blend and the Venison Steak Medallions. I have not eaten or cooked much venison, so I was excited to try it. And I really enjoyed it.
I followed Force of Nature’s cast iron skillet cooking instructions for the venison steak medallions and they turned out great.
To cook the Grass Fed Ground Venison Ancestral ground meat I followed their venison taco recipe with mango pineapple salsa! These turned out amazing!
Regenerative Beef NY Strip Steak
I enjoyed the New York Strip I purchased from Force of Nature. I cooked it in a cast iron skillet.
I think it’s important to understand the difference in how grain fed and grass fed beef cooks. Since grass fed beef is typically a bit leaner it can dry out faster. So, definitely take time to research how to cook it! I found this guide helpful!
Bison and Beef Homestyle Meatballs
I didn’t love the Bison and Beef Meatballs. I appreciate that they were easy to make. However, I felt like they were a little bit dry by themselves, but when I put marinara sauce and cheese on them it helped.
Bison Osso Buco Review
Honestly, mine got over cooked, so I can’t properly review this item!
Would I Buy Force of Nature Meat Again?
The Pros & The Cons
I sincerely appreciate that Force of Nature has some great educational content and resources on regenerative farming. I love the recipes too! The meat is really high quality and the shipping was FAST.
The price point is a bit high….I totally get why due to their practices. However, it’s not accessible for everyone. The limited stock and sold out quantities can make it tricky for people to get everything they want in their order.
At the current price point, I think it’s too high for me to purchase all my meat through this brand. However, I think I would buy it on occasion. Particularly, I would purchase the Regenerative Beef Ancestral Blend again. I think this is a great product that allows us to get some extra health benefits.
I have noticed that they do sell Force of Nature meats at select Whole Foods, so if you want to just pick up one thing to try, this could be a great option.
