WHOLE ANIMAL BUTCHERY

BEEF • PORK • LAMB

Savings & Economics

Buying whole animal is the most economical way to fill your freezers. By purchasing a whole animal, you save roughly 25% to 30% off retail prices. Example (Beef): For a 500lb animal, you would pay $4,625 for the whole animal. Compared to a retail value of $6,225, this offers a direct savings of $1,600—nearly 26% off the standard price. It is the most sustainable and cost-effective way to fill your freezer!

Connection to the Farm

When you purchase a whole animal sourced from a farm vetted by our standards, you are making an impact on multiple levels.

• Traceability: Knowing exactly where your food comes from and how it was raised provides peace of mind.

• Local Economy: You are directly supporting regional farmers and reducing the "food miles" animals travel.

• Convenience: A stocked freezer means fewer trips to the grocery store.

Reducing Food Waste

Whole-animal sourcing is a direct action against food waste. By utilizing every part of the animal, you honor the animal and contribute to a more sustainable food system.

Food Security

We have all witnessed fluctuating food prices and occasional shortages. Purchasing a whole animal allows you to lock in a set price for an extended period, ensuring you have high-quality protein on hand even when grocery shelves are scarce.

Culinary Adventure

Bulk purchasing introduces you to unique, flavorful cuts rarely found in a standard meat case. This encourages you to experiment with new recipes and cooking methods, and provides a natural excuse to host gatherings and share the abundance with your community!

Supporting Local Business

Beyond supporting the farm, your bulk purchase supports Butcher & Pantry. By moving whole animals rather than thousands of individual retail cuts, we can streamline our operations and reduce waste at every stage of the process.
