What does Field & Forest to Table Meats mean?

Field & Forest to Table Meats is our tasty wild game and farm stock spin on the farm-to-table movement. By shortening the gap between the hunt and the first bite, we’re reconnecting people with their culinary roots. As a private consumption butcher, Little Butcher Shop places a focus on quality over quantity, flavor over fluff, and satisfaction over speed.

What kind of animals do you butcher?

Whether it walks, runs, crawls, or prances, we can butcher it! As long as it’s legal to hunt or raise on a ranch, we’ve got the equipment and expertise to get the highest-quality meat out of any animal. We do prioritize some animals during the height of hunting season over domestic animals due to our capacity limitations.

Would you teach me how to butcher an animal?

Absolutely! At Little Butcher Shop, we’re dedicated to preserving the lost art of butchering. But, that doesn’t mean we’re keeping it for ourselves. We’re more than happy to take the time to show hunters, farmers, and other customers how to butcher your animal effectively, sustainably, and safely. Over the past 30 years, we’ve gained with experience butchering techniques that result in the highest-quality cuts of meat no matter the animal. Our philosophy is you butcher your animal the way you are going to serve it at your dinner table.

Stephen was awesome! I had 2 cows for the first time. I used to buy from locals who did their own butchering and meat packaging. He came, took care of them and then turned them into great meat (his Finger Steaks are really great!). He taught me more than any other butcher about the stages he goes through to get me what I needed. Excellent service and education all the way around.

Our hunting group dropped of two bull elk with the Little Butcher Shop. Every step of the process was handled professionally and we could not have been happier with our meat. I cannot recommend Steve enough! If you need anything processed in northern Idaho he will be the only place you need to go! Thanks Steve

Professional and friendly service. My kids were very interested in the process, and Stephen taught them step-by-step as he harvested and prepped our pigs. As far as the meat goes: hands down the best ham and bacon I’ve ever had from a butcher. The sausage is the perfect consistency, and the cuts are on point. I love that everything is vacuum sealed and clearly labeled. We’ll definitely be using Little Butcher Shop from now on.

Once again, Stephen impresses. Spot on with processing our pigs and lambs. If you want a job well done from your farm to your table, then you want to talk with Stephen! Great job, thank you.

We met Stephen after he was hired to harvest our son’s 4h Market goat and were instantly impressed with his kindness and compassion. We decided to have him harvest our alternate market animal, a lamb. He was punctual, efficient, and considerate. He even took the time to talk us through what he was doing and why! This guy really knows his stuff! You will not be disappointed! We will be constant returning customers!
