COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Sutter Meats’ mission is to bring back the neighborhood butcher with an emphasis on whole animal butchery, education, and the creation of community. We only buy humanely raised meat from local farms who share our standards and practices and we strive to use the entire animal. This means that in addition to offering a much wider variety of steaks, roasts and custom cuts than our competitors, we also offer many unique cuts in the tradition of the European butcheries, and use the remaining meat, bones and fat to make stocks, pet food, cooking lard, etc. Buying whole animals also ensures that we know exactly where our products come from, how they were raised and how they were slaughtered; ensuring complete traceability and quality.
