a whole animal philosophy

Butcher shops, especially those in large grocery store chains, have changed significantly over the past 30 years. Unfortunately, the conventional approach comes at a cost to the environment, our health, and our communities.

At Foothills Butcher Shop in Black Mountain, NC, we take a more traditional approach. Holding animals and farmers in the highest regard, we source high-quality, pasture-raised meat from small, local farms. Guided by a whole animal philosophy, our skilled team of butchers utilizes all parts of the animal across our four businesses—nothing goes to waste.

This philosophy is central to who we are. We started Foothills as a small farm and raised our own animals for years. We know how hard—and important—it is to do this work ethically and sustainably. By funneling our support into local farms, the whole community thrives.
