Why work with us?
We offer the same care and attention to your meat as you would for yourself.
Begin with the end in mind.
From kill to pack, we think about the meal on your kitchen table. After all, isn't that the point?
You work hard to raise a healthy, happy animal. We work hard to turn your animal into meat fit for a family feast.
Preserve old world craft and care.
Our great-great-grandfather Papa Blasio brought traditional butchering craft and care from Sicily to New Orleans. We aim at keeping that craft and care alive in the Carolinas.
The phrase, "They just don't make things like they used to", applies to butchers too. Instead of quantity and efficiency, we aim for quality and the same level of care we'd offer our own family.
Go beyond humane handling.
We believe that humane handling is more than a list of what not to do. Care for people and care for animals cannot be separated.
As butchers, we care about producing the best quality meat for our customers. Naturally, then, we care about giving the animals the best life possible.
