Products offered through Laptop Butcher Shop are not found in grocery stores. They come from talented small-scale producers who care a lot about the health of their animals, their customers and the planet.
The animals are pastured, meaning that they are raised outdoors on grass, the way nature intended. Some animals are fed grains, also carefully raised. The meat is exceptionally delicious and heart-healthy, rich in correctly balanced CLA’s and nutrients. These products contain no additives (except nitrites in bacon/ham), no prophylactic antibiotics and no hormones. Our vendors allow you to pick the cuts and quantity you want—just like a real butcher shop.
Please understand that our meat and poultry producers work on a very small scale—this is why we love them! But, they must sell each animal in its entirety, not just the steaks, loins and chops. Try some slow-cooked braising cuts for stew or pot roast. Lamb burgers are supreme. Ground pork makes superb all-American meatloaf or Asian green bean stir fry.
