Miesna Sztuka is the name for Polish startup oriented on delivering premium fresh, healthy beef from local Polish farm directly to the door.

Background

Mięsna Sztuka is an an e-commerce platform to sell beef from local farms which is delivered directly to the door by courier.

From the very first meeting with the client, when he told us about his father’s farm and their business concept, we helped Marcin in thinking about the startup. The idea behind the whole venture was to share their absolutely mouthwatering meat experience with others, as they used to do with their friends only. MiÄ™sna Sztuka, which in Polish has a double meaning – piece of meat, and art of meat preparation – aimed at gourmets, who value healthy and delicious beef from cows that eat grass, but also take care of environment and well-being of animals.
