Your Trusted Local Butchers

We're the only whole-animal butchery in Rhode Island. We started the Meat Share to give our friends and neighbors a consistent connection to the best quality local meat around. We source animals directly from the best farmers in our region, process and cut in-house, and package it up for you and your family. It's the best of both worlds - a connection to your local food system and farmers, without the hassle of buying and storing whole animals.

How It Works

1. Pick Your Share Size

We offer monthly shares of hand-cut local meats (beef, pork, lamb) and meat products, such as sausages, broths, rillettes, lard and more. Each monthly share contains a curated mix of these products.

Share Sizes & Pricing:
Petite (5-6 lbs) - $95/month
Classic (10-11 lbs) - $179/month
Family (15-16 lbs) - $260/month

An example of a recent Classic Share:

  • 4-5 lbs. Beef Cuts (Ribeye Steak, Denver Steak, Picanha Roast, Petite Tender Steak, etc.)
  • 2-3 lbs. Pork Cuts (Rib Chop, Coppa, Shoulder Roast, etc.)
  • 1-2 lbs. Lamb Cuts (blade chops, rib chops, rolled belly, etc.)
  • 1-2 lbs. Single-Source Ground Beef or Lamb
  • 1-2 lbs. Artisan Sausage (Kimchi Pork Sausage, Lamb Merguez, etc.)
  • 8 oz. Craft Charcuterie (Pork Rillettes, Country Pate, Rendered Tallow, Bone Broth, etc.)

Petite and Family Shares will receive the same curated mix of products, just a different amount of them. We are happy to accommodate preferences, such as no pork or lamb.

We always ensure that you receive variety month-to-month, and that the products you'll receive will match the cooking season and style that you're practicing.

Hear from our customers

The Rhody Butcher Meat Share is so great, I get both easy everyday ingredients and new cuts with every package, and I’ve probably learned more about cooking from Rhody Butcher than anything else in recent memory. It’s also the best meat I’ve ever had.

Taylor B.

Providence, RI

Growing up in Scotland, I knew where our meat came from: our next door neighbor, who farmed the field beside our home. The Meat Share reminds me of home. We feel really lucky to know where our meat comes from, that it's sustainable throughout its life cycle, and most importantly that it tastes good.

Michelle M.

Pawtucket, RI

For our home, the Meat Share has been an incredible way to think creatively about cooking with a variety of cuts of different animals. It’s a special feeling to host friends and drop a piece of meat on the table we have been saving for a special group

Rob A.

Bristol, RI

What we especially like about the Meat Share is discovering delicious cuts of meat we’ve never tried before: côte de boeuf, dry-aged chuck eye, and pork coppa steak. Rhody Butcher is also accommodating to special requests, and a real pleasure to work with.

Where is the meat sourced from?

All of the animals are sourced from small family farms across New England. Most of our farmers are from Rhode Island or Massachusetts, with a handful along the state border in Connecticut and New York.

Our farmers are experts at raising livestock and the meat that you'll receive is indicative of this expertise. Only the highest quality meat in New England makes it into our Meat Shares.

Can I customize my order?

Yes! Just email us and we're happy to take into account any dietary, religious, or taste preferences.

We also offer add-ons to your monthly Meat Share, in the form of extra ground meat, dog food & treats, and other items that you might need a little bit more of.

What else do you offer?

We periodically host classes and events, and we have a wholesale program for chefs and restaurants.
