About Us

The Local Butcher Shop offers our community sustainably raised, local meat. We buy our product directly from farmers who are all located within 150 miles of Berkeley. All of our product has been 100% pasture raised, no antibiotics, no added hormones, just pure, clean, true meat. Since we only buy whole carcasses, we are able to cut your meat for you however you desire and our butchers are also chefs happy to help you with cooking suggestions and recipes. The meat that is not sold from our display cases is used to make sausages, pates, stocks, and sauces.  We also make a changing Sandwich of the Day!

At the Counter

MORE THAN MEAT. A CONVERSATION.

Every visit to The Local Butcher Shop is an open invitation to ask questions, learn something new, and feel completely at home.

We believe great food starts with understanding—where it comes from, how it’s raised, how it’s cut, and how to cook it with confidence. That’s why our counter isn’t just a place to buy meat—it’s where stories are shared, techniques are explained, and decisions are made together.

Leave confident, inspired, and well fed.

From helping you choose the right cut for tonight’s dinner, to explaining nose-to-tail cooking, sourcing, seasonality, or how to get the most value out of a whole animal, our butchers take the time to meet you where you are. Curious beginner or seasoned home cook, you’ll always leave with answers—and usually a few new ideas.

No pressure. No intimidation. Just honest guidance, deep respect for the animal, and genuinely warm service from people who love what they do.

Come in hungry for knowledge.
