Whole-Animal Butchery ยท Est. 2016

Cut By Hand,
Raised With Care

Dry-aged beef, house-made sausage, and pasture-raised cuts from farms within a hundred miles of our counter.

A Craft Passed Down, Not Outsourced

The Copper Cleaver was opened by third-generation butcher Hank Ostrowski in 2016, after twenty years working in his family's meatpacking business. Hank set out to build a shop that broke down whole animals in-house, worked directly with local farms, and never touched a cryovac bag of pre-cut anything.

Every cut that crosses our counter was broken down by hand that same week, by a butcher who can tell you exactly which farm it came from and how it was raised.
