Meat & Poultry

There was a time when you could walk into your local butcher’s shop and find a perfect, beautiful barnsley chop,  that very morning with you in mind because the butcher (who knows you by name) figured you’d be in looking for something like that for dinner tonight.

Think this scene is pure nostalgia?

Think again. The meat expert standing behind the counter at your nearby Whole Foods Market is prepared to serve up whatever cut of meat catches your eye in the cooler or case, packaged especially for you and accompanied by cooking tips and sage advice only a real, experienced butcher can provide.

We still do meat and poultry the old-fashioned way, when people cared where their meat came from, how it was raised and how it was processed. No worries about animal byproducts or antibiotics in the animal’s feed or added hormones or, if you’re buying prepackaged meat, no worries about carbon monoxide in the packaging, a deceptive technique that keeps meat red and fresh-looking even when it’s weeks old.

We work with independent inspectors to ensure that our producers and processors adhere to our high quality standards for meat — the strictest in the industry — to offer you the highest-quality meat products available anywhere. And it’s not just quality: we offer an incredible variety of meats including game, duck, sausages, low-fat cuts, and grass-fed beef in addition to turkey and chicken raised on vegetarian diets.

We have developed the 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating™  that rates how pigs, chickens, cattle, turkeys and lambs are raised.

We offer organic meats, raised humanely and processed with a measure of compassion, custom cut to your specifications when you want it. We also make your life easy by creating oven-ready meals, stuffed meats and kababs, and by providing cooking instructions and personal recommendations—not to mention complimentary services, including seasoning and marinating.

It’s all about quality and freshness and caring: farmers caring about the welfare of the animal, processors caring about the quality of the product, and our butchers caring about you.
