KNOW YOUR BUTCHER
Know Your Butcher is about reconnecting people with good, clean, delicious food by embracing a shared philosophy: treating animals humanely, supporting healthy and sustainable farming practices, and reducing food waste with intention and care.
At the heart of this philosophy is Whole Animal Butchery—often called nose-to-tail. I believe deeply in respecting and honoring the animals that sustain us. That means taking responsibility for how they’re raised, how they’re processed, and how every part is used. By minimizing waste and finding thoughtful, innovative ways to utilize the whole animal, we not only enrich the food we eat, but become better stewards of our communities and the world around us.
As our food system has become increasingly centralized, many people have lost touch with where their food comes from and how it’s made. A good butcher restores that connection. Your butcher knows where your meat comes from, understands how “the sausage” is made, and can guide you beyond the familiar cuts—introducing lesser-known pieces that are just as flavorful, nourishing, and meaningful, along with the best ways to prepare them.
Know your butcher. Know your food.
