Profile

Better access to locally raised meat is one benefit of our city's burgeoning butcher love. Entrepreneur Jake Dickson left a career in marketing to learn from slaughterhouses, butchers, and the livestock coordinator at Stone Barns Center. Now he runs Dickson's Farmstand Meats and sources your meat directly from local farmers and personally oversees its butchering at the slaughterhouse. Besides top-notch cuts of steak, the storefront (which grew out of Dickson's now-ceased farmer's market business) also sells poultry, house-made sausages, charcuterie, and prepared foods.
