The holidays are about family, food, and traditions — and at our shop, we get to be a part of all three. As a family-run butcher, grocer, and caterer, the weeks leading up to Christmas are some of the busiest (and most rewarding) of the year. While you’re making your lists, we’re making sure your table is full, the roasts are perfect, and every holiday gathering feels special.
Planning the Feast
Christmas dinner means different things to different families. For some, it’s the classic standing rib roast or spiral ham. For others, it’s stuffed pork loin, crown roast of lamb, or even a fresh turkey with all the trimmings. We spend weeks sourcing the best cuts of meat, checking in our suppliers, and planning how much to have on hand so no one has to leave disappointed.
More Than Just Meat
We know the holidays are hectic, so we stock up on all the extras that make Christmas dinner easier — fresh produce, pantry staples, homemade sauces, and sides that pair perfectly with your main course. From potatoes for mashing to seasonal vegetables for roasting, we’ve got your grocery list covered.
Catering Made Simple
Not everyone has the time (or desire) to cook everything from scratch. That’s where our catering team shines. Whether it’s trays of appetizers for your office party, a full holiday spread for your extended family, or just a few side dishes to lighten the load, we’re here to make the season stress-free and delicious.
The Joy Behind the Counter
For us, the holiday season is about more than sales — it’s about seeing generations of families walk through our doors, picking out the same roasts their parents and grandparents ordered. It’s about sharing recipe tips, wrapping up that perfect cut, and knowing we had a small hand in the memories made around your table.
A Family Tradition
We like to say we’re not just your butcher, grocer, or caterer — we’re your neighbor. And during Christmas, that feels truer than ever. From our family
to yours, we wish you a holiday season filled with good food, laughter, and love.
