The Roving Butcher was founded by nose-tail-butcher Jake Levin. We are based in Western Massachusetts. Our mission is to assist and educate farmers, chefs, and interested individuals, in sourcing, processing, and utilizing locally raised pastured whole animals. Our services include on-site butchery, whole animal butchery classes, value-added product development, yield tests, and more. Ultimately the more we all know about how our food systems work the more empowered we are to change the system for the better.
