Our Philosophy

Keeping it honest since 2002

We buy primarily whole animals from small family farms. Then our butchers and chefs turn them into delicious food.

All of our meats are responsibly sourced from trusted local farmers and raised with no added hormones. Not only is it delicious—it’s food you can feel good about feeding your family.
