About

Our Story

We're honored to be part of a tradition (Pine River Processing) that began over 30+ years ago here in Pine River, WI. In 2021, we had the privilege of purchasing this business to continue building on what was laid, but to rebrand as "The Butcher in Pine River." Adding wholesale, broadening pre-order bulk sales, and adding retail has been quite the leap from being a custom processor historically.

Where We Are Today

With the recent closure of two main butcher shops in our area, we find ourselves in a unique position to help fill a gap in our community's food supply. We're working to modernize access to local food by adding online ordering for in-store pickup to make shopping more convenient, and we maintain a full retail menu in our shop for those who prefer to browse and select in person. We're also excited to offer NEW Saturday hours from 8am-12pm, and we even accept EBT payments, because clean local food is for everyone.

Our commitment is simple: Welcome to local! In every way possible, we strive to source animals that are locally raised and raised clean for every product we make. This isn't just about supporting our local farmers and herds – though that's important to us – it's about providing you with the best we can offer.

Looking Ahead

Our vision is to continue growing to meet the needs of our surrounding communities by offering locally sourced and humanely processed products and butchering services. We hope to be worthy stewards of this business and to earn the trust that previous owners built over the decades.

We're grateful for the opportunity to serve Pine River and the surrounding areas. Whether you're a rancher looking for custom processing, looking to add clean local beef, pork, and chicken to your grocery list, or looking to stock up at a bulk price, we're here to help in whatever way we can. Thank you for giving us the chance to be part of your community.
