If You Like Meat You Should Visit the Local Butcher Shop
Some years ago, butcher shops were commonplace. Nearly everyone had a favorite butcher shop that they would visit to buy their meats. Now, in the modern day world, butcher shops have been swallowed up by big chain grocery stores and turned into just another section of an otherwise massive market.
However, there are a few old-fashioned butcher shops out there who refuse to go gently into that good night. The few that still stand tall work hard for their place, and because of that often times offer meat products that go above and beyond the quality you can find at your local Vons. The Local Butcher Shop is one of those still standing strong in the face of conglomerate giants. And they are doing it with finesse.

What’s more is that The Local Butcher Shop purchases all their animals from local farmers and ranchers within 150 miles of their Berkeley, CA shop. Their products are also always guaranteed to be grass fed, pasture raised, hormone, and antibiotic-free. The butchers behind the counter will also custom cut a piece of meat for you any way you want it WHILE you wait. How cool is that?
The Local Butcher Shop states that its main goal is to “positively impact eaters, farmers, ranchers, food artisans, and fellow butchers through our community-based business by sourcing and cutting the finest meat available in the Bay Area and by teaching our customers how to source and cook meat.” Talk about pride in the community!
They Also Serve Lunch!
The Local Butcher Shop doesn’t stop at providing high-quality cuts of meat to people in the Bay Area – they also serve them lunch! Some really great sandwiches can be found at the shop. And since this is a butcher shop, you can bet the meat in your sandwich is going to be out of this world.
So, if you are looking for a place to buy your Thanksgiving turkey and have a sandwich while you wait, then The Local Butcher Shop is the place for you!
Speaking of Turkey Day…
In honor of Thanksgiving, The Local Butcher Shop is taking online orders for locally raised heritage turkeys. These birds have been bred to be out on pasture, which means they have strong legs and smaller breasts, making their meat much more rich and flavorful. Who doesn’t like a huge turkey leg on Thanksgiving?

Until next time readers, have a happy Thanksgiving, and keep smiling.
