With the easy access to information courtesy of the internet, there has been a rapid rise in consumer awareness about where food comes from. Sparked by a desire to support local businesses, to eat healthier, and to experience the flavors of fresh food, this increase has rejuvenated the local meat market. Here are some tips for finding a great local butcher to satisfy all your meaty needs.
Like many skills and hobbies, starting can be hard. Don’t be afraid to ask for recommendations from friends, relatives, and even strangers. Many locally owned restaurants source their food locally, so consider calling and asking. The same goes for catering companies and personal chefs in your area. A farmers’ market is also a great place to ask merchants for opinions. Finally, every opinion under the sun is available on the internet on review sites, blogs, and social media feeds.
How will you know when you’ve found a good butcher shop? There are some simple signs that will let you know when you’re in the right place. The first thing you should know is where the shop gets their meat. Ideally, you’ll want a local, humane farm, and a butcher who’ll do their own carving and offer cooking advice. This will help you get the most out of your selection. Being able to communicate with your butcher will make the experience better for both of you.
Hopefully, these tips for finding a great local butcher will lead you to a butcher that you can build a long-term relationship with.
