Ventura meat company
THE LAB
(our processing center)
This is where we make the things you see in the shop every day. From sausage to jerky to everything in between, it all starts here, made in-house with care, consistency, and purpose.
QUALITY MEATS
(premium sources)
We source our meat from producers who share our values — people who care about what they raise and how they raise it. We don’t make big claims or chase labels. We simply work with suppliers we know and trust, and we choose cuts based on quality, consistency, and integrity. That’s it.
THE SHOP
(Ventura Meat Co)
Real food for real people.
Our storefront is the face of the business — where it all comes together and where YOU become part of the story. Whether you’re picking up a steak, grabbing some chicken for dinner or just stopping in to talk shop, this is where connection happens.
CRAFTED WITH INTEGRITY
We take pride in the process, so you can take pride in what you bring home.
From Our Family to Yours.
Better PROTEIN.
Better values.
A neighborhood butcher counter — the way it used to be.
Personal Over Processed
When you walk through our door, you’re not picking something off a shelf — you’re talking to a real person who knows meat and knows your name. This is full-service, face-to-face food.
Guidance, Not Guesswork
We’re here to help — whether you’re planning a weeknight dinner or smoking your first brisket. Our team loves sharing what we know so you can feel good about what’s for dinner.
Community First
We’re not just feeding families — we’re part of them. That means no hard sells, no cutting corners, and no sacrificing quality for volume. Just real food, shared with the people we care about most.
Throughout the year, we proudly support local schools, teams, and causes by donating gift cards and products to community fundraisers and silent auctions. Giving back isn’t an event — it’s part of how we do business.
THE SHOP
(WHERE YOU COME IN)
Where skill meets integrity — and nothing goes to waste.
Craft, Not Convenience
We break down every cut by hand, right here in Ventura. No factory shortcuts, no outsourced processing — just real butchers doing honest work you can taste.
Rooted in Respect
We treat every cut with intention, turning bones into broth, fat into tallow, and muscle into meals worth remembering
Small Scale, Big Difference
By processing in-house, we stay in full control — from pasture to package. It means higher quality, fewer miles, and complete transparency for our customers.

No Labels. No Lectures. Just Real Food, Made Right!
COMMUNITY
OUR
Honesty Over Hype
We keep things simple. We source the highest-quality meats we can find and make all of what we sell in-house. When we make it, the ingredient list stays clean. That’s always been the standard.
Purpose Behind Every Cut
We take pride in making the most of every cut we bring in, turning trim into tallow, bones into broth, and muscle into jerky, sausage, and steaks. It’s not just about efficiency; it’s about respect for the craft and doing things the right way from start to finish.
Quality Matters
We care about quality, not claims. We work with meat that reaches our standards, not someone else’s checklist. If it doesn’t cook well, taste good, or hold up in the pan, it doesn’t make the cut.
Real Food, Done Right
Small batches, from scratch, with minimal ingredients and maximum intention. Just real food, made the way it should be.
Customer = Community
It’s not just a counter, it’s a place to talk, get to know each other, and figure out what’s for dinner. We’ve always believed the job isn’t done until the customer feels confident walking out the door.
Hard Work Is the Standard
We do the work ourselves - trimming, grinding, seasoning, packing. It’s not always fast, but it’s the way we’ve done it since day one, and we think it shows in the final product.
