As you may have noticed, meat prices are high and rising. While we’ve had to raise some prices to match our suppliers, we are holding the line on locally raised meats - which makes them a better value than ever. For example, our locally raised, grass-fed beef steaks are currently less expensive than comparable grain-fed steaks. We also offer several great bulk selections at discounts, such as our Nourish subscription box or our butcher’s grass-fed beef box. Check out our specials and featured items below.

Over the past 20 years, many of you have come to know and appreciate Jim Fogle, one of our founding partners and a fixture in the local butcher business. He worked with Paso Meat and Sausage and Ralph's Meats, before founding J&R Meats with his son Ryan and Laird Foshay in 2010. Jim is retiring at the end of this month and Ryan, who opened our Templeton location in 2011, is moving on as well. Jim has played a fundamental role in making J&R Meats the leading meat processor and retailer on the Central Coast. We’ll miss Jim, but we are glad to see him taking time to be with his family and get the rest he deserves. We will be promoting some experienced hands from our ranks, and we look forward to serving you with the quality and expertise you’ve come to expect from J&R Meats.
