Olde Towne Butcher

Please welcome our next Sustainability Award holder, Olde Towne Butcher owned by Keith Lebor. 

The shop’s selection will appease almost any local – from those looking for premium meats to those who enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle. Our intern selected a Potter’s Craft Cider after meeting with Keith and found it refreshing on a humid day. She is sure to come back to try their ice cream, honeys, coffee, and granolas. The shop offers a commendable range of meats, produce, dairy, and beers curated from local distributors within the Virginia area.

If you are dazzled by the array of choices, you can get a personal recommendation from a highly trained butcher or meat cutter for the raw cuts or prepared dishes you need for the week. Your cuts will be wrapped in wax paper instead of plastic-coated papers. Keith's curated selection guarantees no unnecessary contamination of antibiotics, chemicals, or hormones. 

As a young boy in Cincinnati, Keith’s family would frequent the local butcher. After a successful career in commercial real estate, he obtained the business in 2015 and learned the ropes from the previous owner, Lee Russell. Keith’s local focus has several benefits. He can personally ensure quality and is able to verify humane conditions at the farms he sources his meat products from. Locally sourcing products also supports the local economy and reduces carbon emissions.  

You can sometimes find Keith perusing Saturday’s farmer’s market at Hurkamp in search of locally grown produce to stock up his produce fridge. Be sure to visit the shop at 401 William Street or visit their website oldetownebutcher.com for local delivery and pickup. Follow their Facebook @OldeTowneButcher or Instagram @oldetownebutcherfxbg
