Butcher Shop

At the Walden Butcher Shop, we specialize in fresh, locally sourced beef, pork, and lamb, broken down daily from whole animals—often right in front of you. Alongside our classic cuts, you’ll find a rotating selection of specialty cuts, house-made sausage blends, and marinated products crafted by our skilled butchers.

We also offer pasture-raised chicken and wild-caught seafood ready to go in our frozen case, plus packaged and frozen offal for adventurous cooks: heart, liver, tongue, and kidney from beef, pork, and lamb, and liver and hearts from chicken.

But that’s just the start. Beyond the meat case, we’ve got everything you need to make an incredible meal: grass-fed milk and butter, kefir, eggs, and bacon. Seasonal veggies from our friends at Siena Farms. A rotating selection of craft beers and wines. And pantry staples like rubs, spices, seasonings, and marinades to bring out the best in any cut.

Whether you’re stocking your freezer or planning a show-stopping dinner, we’ve got you covered. Everything in our shop is thoughtfully sourced and crafted to help you reconnect with your food—and enjoy every bite.

We are pleased to partner with over 60 of the best regenerative farms on the East Coast. These farms undergo a rigorous onboarding process to confirm our standards are met, and in the spirit of transparency, we display the name and location of the farmer whose meat we offer that week. We visit our partner farms regularly and aim to maintain long-term mutually beneficial relationships based on shared values. If you are a farm and would like to partner with us, please email us at info@waldenlocalmeat.com.

Not exactly—and we think that’s a good thing. Here’s why:

We go beyond organic in many ways. While organic certification might sound like the gold standard, it’s often out of reach for small-scale farmers. The certification process is expensive, time-consuming, and has been co-opted by factory farming giants who bend the rules to slap an organic label on products that don’t align with the spirit of sustainable farming.

At Walden, we trust our farmers to use common-sense practices to care for their animals and the land—because they’ve been doing it for generations. They pledge not to use hormones, steroids, antibiotics or animal byproducts. They embrace rotational grazing, nurture healthy soil, and raise animals as nature intended. And we don’t just take their word for it. We regularly audit our farms to ensure they’re upholding the Walden Way—our own set of rigorous standards that prioritize animal welfare, environmental health, and superior meat quality.

Here’s the kicker: Much of the organic beef you see in grocery stores still comes from cows raised in feedlots, eating organic corn or grain. While that might meet the USDA’s requirements, it’s not even close to what we’d call natural or healthy. Cows are grazers, plain and simple. Grain—organic or not—throws their digestive systems out of whack and produces meat that’s lower in nutrients and packed with unhealthy fats.

Walden beef? It’s 100% grass-fed and finished. No corn, no soy, no grain of any kind—ever. The result is better meat: higher in Omega-3s, lower in saturated fat, and loaded with flavor that factory farms just can’t touch.

So no, we’re not “organic.” We’re something better. It’s farming done right.

Yes you can—and it’s every bit as exceptional as our meat.

Our seafood is 100% wild-caught, sourced straight from the cold, clean waters of the Atlantic. From haddock to swordfish, hake, skate, monkfish, black sea bass, pollock, and more, we bring you a variety of fresh, sustainably harvested options that change with the seasons.

But here’s what makes our seafood truly stand out: transparency. We don’t just know where it came from—we know who caught it, when it was caught, and even which boat brought it into port. That’s because we work directly with local fishermen who share our commitment to sustainability and traceability. No mystery fillets. No farm-raised substitutes. Just honest, traceable seafood that connects you directly to the waters and communities that made it possible.

So yes, we offer seafood—but not just any seafood. This is better seafood, responsibly harvested and locally sourced, brought to you with the same care and trust you expect from Walden.
