Building the Dream | J&E Meats New Retail Farm Store & Custom Butcher Shop

We've been keeping this secret for OVER ONE YEAR and are finally ready to share what we have been up to behind the scenes all this time.
2022 has been a HUGE year for us, professionally and personally. Our farm, business and family have grown (literally, we had a baby this year too!). All whilst building our brand new retail store and custom butcher shop, right here on our farm in the heart of Croton Ontario.
We started our farm to table retail business, offering our beef and lamb for sale out of our home in 2018. In August 2019, we opened a small 12x20 retail store on our farm to better serve our customers and community. We weathered the storm of the global pandemic, and have come through stronger, better and ready to serve EVEN MORE! Fall 2021 we began making plans for our new location and what our new space could offer our customers. In February 2022 we broke ground and the custom build is almost complete!
It's taken a lot of hard work, determination, stubbornness, sorrow, tears, love and laughter to accomplish this goal. We couldn't have done it without our team, our community or our customers who've chosen us time and time again to feed their families.
This was our dream for you; to build a space to bring us together even more than ever before. To show you how we raise your food, and the faces behind it. To bring you to our little community of Croton and show you all the wonder and miraculous things that country living, and all of the things our corner of Chatham-Kent has to offer. To bring you to our home and show you what we are made of, and that we are a real family who works together 365 days a year to feed our own family, and yours.
We are your farmers. We are Josh and Emma Butler. We are J&E Meats - and this is just the beginning!
