VENTURA MEAT COMPANY
Quality over quantity.
Since 2011, we’ve focused on doing things the right way — offering great meats, honest service, and a shop people enjoy coming back to.
Come by, take a look around.
We’d be honored to serve you.
WHY QUALITY MATTERS
We source our meat from producers who raise great-tasting beef, pork, and poultry — that’s what matters most. Every cut is processed by skilled hands at our in-house facility, just a few blocks from the shop.
When you shop with The Ventura Meat Company, you’re not just getting food that tastes better — you’re supporting real people doing honest work. From the meat to the bread to the extras on our shelves, our business is built around connection, craftsmanship, and care.

VENTURA MEAT CO.
Just Good Meat
We keep it simple: if it’s on our shelves, it’s something we stand behind. No gimmicks, just food we’re proud to serve.
Respect for the Craft
We don’t let the good stuff go to waste. Fat becomes tallow. Bones become broth. Organs become nutrient-rich pet treats. Some folks consider these things byproduct, but to us it all adds up to better value, better nutrition, and less waste.
Real Food, Done Right
Our speciality products are made in-house, from scratch, with minimal ingredients and maximum intention. No fillers. No shortcuts. Just nutrient-dense food you can feel good about.
Customer = Community
We’re not running a transaction counter — we’re running a neighborhood butcher shop. That means answering questions, giving honest recommendations, and making sure people walk out feeling good about what they bought.
Hard Work Is the Standard
We cut everything by hand. We make it all in-house. We put in the hours to do things right, because we believe people can taste the difference.
Family Owned and Operated
We know what it means to feed the people you care about. We’re a family too, and everything we make reflects the same standards we hold at our own table.

No Confusing Labels Required.
I opened Ventura Meat Company back in 2011 because I couldn’t find a place that sold meat the way I wanted to buy it — straightforward, good quality, no gimmicks, no bulk buy-in required. I wasn’t looking to reinvent the wheel, just to cut out the noise and do things right.
Fourteen years later, we’re still here, serving families who’ve been with us since day one, and welcoming new faces every week. This shop has grown up alongside this community, and I’m proud of the role we get to play in people’s lives, whether it’s Tuesday night tacos or holiday roasts.
We don’t take that for granted.
—Michael Buckley, Owner
