WHY YOU'LL LOVE
VENTURA MEAT CO.
Honesty Over Hype
We don’t hide behind labels. If we say something’s clean, it is. If we say it’s local, we know the rancher. Our customers deserve the truth — not marketing buzzwords.
Use the Whole Animal
Respecting the animal means using every part of it — not just the premium cuts. That’s why we make broth, tallow, jerky, sausage, and more. Nothing gets wasted. Everything has a purpose.
Local Matters
We source beef from ranchers we know, just a few minutes up the road. Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s the right way to do things — for quality, for trust, and for the future of food.
Real Food, Done Right
Our 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.

WHY LOCAL MATTERS
We exclusively source our beef from a Ventura family owned ranch just down the road from our shop. Our skilled butchers carefully process each animal, in-house at “The Lab” (also in Ventura), using the whole animal.
When shopping with Ventura Meat Co, you aren’t just giving your family the best quality products, you are supporting the many hands that feed you right here in our backyard. From the meat, to the bread to our various products, Ventura community is the heart behind our business.

PROCESSING
In 2011, I found myself frustrated with how complicated it was to get quality meat without buying way more than you can handle. Half a steer meant a freezer the size of your kid’s playhouse, and honestly, a lot of guesswork. I wanted to bring that rancher’s-quality meat straight to your table, but in a way that made sense for everyday people. So, I decided to open the shop I always wished was around.
Now, fourteen years later, I’ve had the joy of seeing Ventura’s kids grow up—from kindergartners to college grads, all fueled by the steaks, sausages, and bone broths we proudly craft. At Ventura Meat Co, we’re honored to be the “meat behind your memories.”
