The Butcher’s Guild is a fraternity of meat professionals. We believe a better meat industry starts with a spirit of inclusion. The Butcher’s Guild stands in the guild tradition of maintaining a moral code within a trade. Butchers in the United States have lost their cohesion and support network as the food system has become dangerously centralized. The centralization killed the demand for skilled artisans. We see the future of food based in localized food communities that require the knowledge of the butcher and we are fostering this generation of craftsman. We recognize food as part of a greater system that affects our health, environment and economy.
