Low-Stress Travel.
Raised right here in Ventura County at Hobson Family Farms and select partners.
Our animals are within driving distance to our lab, reducing stress and improving quality. No BS Sourcing. Whole-animal use, full transparency, and relationships built on trust.
Where it all comes together.
This is the heart of our operation — where beef becomes bone broth, jerky, tallow, and more. We craft everything right here in-house with intention, skill, and zero waste.
Real food for real people.
Our storefront isn’t just a shop — it’s the final step in a full-circle system. Pick up a steak, sip broth to-go, or stock up on snacks made just up the road.

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 honor every animal by using the whole thing — bones for broth, fat for tallow, muscle for steak, jerky, and sausage. It’s old-school butchery with purpose behind every cut.
Small Scale, Big Difference
By sourcing locally and processing in-house, we stay in full control — from pasture to package. It means higher quality, fewer miles, and complete transparency for our customers.
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.
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 hours 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.
Because You Deserve Real Food—No Labels Required
By offering a unique & wholesome experience, we can honestly say we are providing our community the best meats. Nothing travels more than 15 miles before arriving at our storefront.
