Electric City Butcher is committed to sourcing only the most sustainably and humanely raised meats. We purchase from small, family-owned farms exclusively in California that have a generations-long commitment to quality, care, and love for their animals and their land.
We are often asked what are our sourcing standards for the meats we serve. It really comes down to relationships. Not only do we know our farmers by first name, but we visit them annually. We also have each whole animal hand-delivered to our shop. Our team is quite literally the third set of hands to handle the meat sold in our store, right after the farmer and the USDA-certified slaughterhouse.

No Hormones or Antibiotics
