I haven’t seen my butcher in six weeks (except for in this recent video, where she showed Molly Baz how to break down a pig). And though I stocked up on ground meat, sausages, and cuts appropriate for braising weeks ago, my freezer meat supply is running low—and sometimes a girl just needs a steak. Same boat? Great. Because below, you’ll find a round up of online butchers, farmers, and other meat suppliers that ship nationwide (unless otherwise noted). Big or small, these are the purveyors our editors and Test Kitchen team love to use—and love to support, too. (Looking for pantry items? Start here!)
Here’s Molly, with my butcher!
