About Us

The exterior of The Village Butcher Shop with customers outside.

Elm Street in Woodstock, VT is home to something increasingly rare: a butcher shop that treats its craft as both an art and a responsibility. The Village Butcher Shop operates as a full butchery, kitchen, and market, honoring the traditions of old-world meat cutting while serving the needs of a modern Vermont community. With a 4.5-star rating built on nearly 100 reviews, the shop has earned a loyal following one exceptional cut at a time.

What sets this place apart is the range. Customers come in for fresh, carefully selected meats, stay to browse the market offerings, and leave with far more than they planned to buy. Special requests are part of the routine here, not an exception, and that flexibility is something regulars count on season after season.

The Village Butcher also extends its kitchen well beyond the shop floor. From box lunches to full catering for large gatherings, the team brings the same quality and care to events that they bring to every counter transaction. This is the past, present, and future of traditional butchery, all at one address on Elm Street.

What We Offer

The Village Butcher Shop offers four core pillars that together make it a genuine one-stop destination for quality food in Woodstock, Vermont.

Butchery is the foundation: fresh, high-quality cuts selected and prepared with real craft. The kitchen extends that expertise into ready-made and catered food, whether you need box lunch orders for a work event or full-scale catering for a large family gathering. Customers have praised the catering team by name for delivering restaurant-quality entrees to private events without the restaurant fuss.

For those who plan ahead or can't make it during shop hours, online ordering is available, making it easy to secure what you need before you arrive. The market side of the shop rounds out the experience with specialty provisions that complement what comes from the butcher case. Open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

"Every cut of meat that we’ve bought from the VBS over the years has been fresh and top quality. Last night’s pork chops were exceptional! Special requests? They do that too. I highly recommend the Village Butcher Shop. Bring a cooler to stock the freezer!"

"The catering that Alex and the Village Butcher provided for us for our large family gathering at a rented house was exceptional. We ordered several entrées, the chicken piccata, lasagna and pulled pork for 10 adults, along with sides and the charcuterie board They also provided bread and desserts, the homemade chocolate cake was incredible. All of the portions were plentiful and Alex delivered them himself. He was accommodating for our schedule, with a short timeline. I will consider him for any catering need I would have in the Woodstock area"
