Artisan Meat Shares in Southeastern PA
The simplest way to get local lamb, pork, and goat custom- butchered and delivered to your door
Trust your meat again
It seems like every few weeks we hear about another major food recall. When meat is processed by the ton and shipped all over the country (or the world!), there’s a lot that can go wrong.
We want to welcome you back to the village, where the food was raised just over the hill and you knew your butcher personally. We partner with hyper-local farmers and homesteaders to process and deliver their meat shares all over the Southeastern PA and Allentown areas. We use traditional preservation techniques to make delicious shares that keep without a freezer, meaning you can enjoy the economy of buying in bulk without the chest freezer! Come see the Village Herd and choose your next dinner.

what makes Village Herd better?
better for you
Every animal we offer has been raised with due respect to its nature. It’s more nutritious and fresh than what you can get in the grocery store, and much more flavorful. That means you’re spending less effort cooking, while simultaneously fortifying your health.
better for the community
When you buy at the grocery store, your money goes to big business. We source all of our meat from small, family farms and homesteads in Southeastern PA and the Lehigh Valley area. When you buy through us, your money stays here and enriches our community. You are not padding someone’s dividend, you are supporting families and investing in food security in our region.
better for the planet
Your beef is from Argentina; your lamb from New Zealand; your pork is from Iowa - you eat like a world traveler without the selfies to show for it. Instead, your food is doing all the traveling. All of our food comes from no more than a two hour drive from your home, saving on all the emissions associated with those voyages. We offer over 100% of the hanging weight so that nothing goes to waste.
