Galvinell Meat Co

Searched up and down for fresh pork belly to make my own bacon. Finally someone suggested Galvinell. Called and sure enough, no problem! They were very accommodating. Drove up the next day and was very impressed with the service. Perfect pork bellies… check! Lots of selection of other fresh pork products… check! I could even see the workers in the back butchering… wow so happy I found them.

Galvinell Meats is an excellent local butcher shop. If you are looking for beef, pork, lamb or goat, this place should be your destination. Dan and Jen have a great business where they truly cater to the customer. I have purchased pork bellies, fresh sausage and pork briskets with great success. One of my next purchases will be a ¼ cow. It is awesome to know where your meat is being sourced.
They offer classes on different topics such as BBQ, competitions and sausage making. I recently took their Sausage 101 class and was very impressed by the amount of knowledge and fresh sausage I went home with!
They also sell Meadow Creek smokers and barbecue supplies. I can’t say I purchase all of my meat from Galvinell, but each time I visit, they get more and more of my business and I have yet to be disappointed.

Holy God. I bought a pound of ground lamb from Whimsical Farm, down near Middletown. I made a lamb ragout. I’ve eaten it two nights in a row. I’m going to have to force myself to make something else tomorrow night so that the other stuff in my fridge doesn’t go bad. After eating this lamb, it is impossible that I will ever buy meat from a supermarket in my life. I want to go into my refrigerator right now and eat more of this ragout cold.
It seems to me that Galvinell might be the best butcher in the world. Fatty enough to provide flavor and cooking base. Not nearly as fatty as gross supermarket lamb.
I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do with pork sausage. I’ve got a pound of that and a pound of their bacon in my fridge. Maybe I can put myself into a coma by noon. At least I’ll be eating local.
