Snake River Farms prides itself on its pioneering spirit. The Idaho-based company decided to blaze its own trail by introducing a new breed of cattle. Enter American Wagyu beef. Obsessed with its deep flavor and sublime marbling, the family-owned and operated purveyor began breeding in the late 1980s. Since then, Snake River Farms has expanded its ranch-to-table model across 14 divisions in four states. It even exports products to over 50 countries. This means customers can have their signature American Wagyu steaks shipped worldwide. Each shipment can be scheduled up to 30 days from purchase date or sent to multiple addresses. Choose between individual cuts at varying sizes and grades. Their cheapest entry is the 6 oz. Black Grade American Wagyu Top Sirloin, which retails for $18. But, their gold-graded products are the epitome of luxury. These highest-ranked filets are one of the most popular items, starting at $55. Or, opt for the subscription service. In these assorted collections, Snake River Farms curates steakhouse classics and combines lesser-known “chef’s secrets” within each box.
