WHOLE-DAMN-ANIMAL

Because we are a whole-animal shop, we are able to offer a wide variety of cuts to match anyone’s taste and needs. From the well known to the obscure, rest assured you’ll go home with an exceptional cut, and the know-how to make it delicious. So don’t be afraid to chat us up, because the following lists are just the icing on the cake.

VIRGINIA GROWN 100% GRASS-FED BEEF

When we say our beef is grass-fed, we aren’t trying to pull any tricks. The beef we source from Deep Rock Farm, Grayson Natural Farms, Chapel Hill Farm, and others is 100% grass-fed 100% of the time. The farmers we work with are serious about their grass. In fact, the folks at our select Virginia farms are as focused on land management and pasture care as they are the genetics of their animals.

We work with these farms because they are committed to producing an end product we can be proud of, your families will enjoy, and one that respects the animal from which it came.

PASTURED PORK FROM AUTUMN OLIVE FARMS

We like to talk about how Autumn Olive makes it easy for us, and we’re not just blowing smoke. Once you taste the difference in the pork from our shop compared to more conventionally raised products, we’re confident you’ll be coming back to see us.

PASTURED LAMB FROM MEADOWS PRIDE FARM

Meadow's Pride raises their Lamb on the lush, diverse mountain pastures of Highland County, producing a full flavored product we love. Lamb are finished on a non-GMO feed ration during finishing to produce moderate coverage and superior quality.

PASTURED CHICKEN FROM whiffletree farm

A great introduction to eating good meat. At Whiffletree, Jesse and Liz Straight and the farming team teach a master class on clean land management and herd/flock rotation, resulting in toxin-free, well-nourished animals who in turn provide that nutrition to us…and it shows. Have one of our butchers break up a whole pastured bird for you, and eat like royalty without breaking the bank. 

PASTURED DUCK FROM FREE UNION GRASS FARM

Hands-down the best duck we have ever had. The folks out in Free Union have got it figured out when it comes to raising and finishing beautiful duck.

HOUSEMADE SAUSAGES

Made by hand in house using our meats and love. We currently have a recipe book of 80+ varieties, so explaining them here would be inefficient to say the least. Look out for an ever changing menu of fresh sausage, and a wide range of both the classic and quirky in our freezer section. New recipes added damn near weekly.

HOUSEMADE CHARCUTERIE

Next to our cuts and sausages you'll find a range of Bacons, Deli Meats, and Terrines ncluding but not limited to our Award Winning Tasso Ham, Pâté de Campagne, and Smoked Pastrami. Sliced to order and designed to please; you've gotta try 'em all.
