WEEKEND FUN ALERT! * This Sunday and Monday (April 11 and 12), we are hosting a pop-up butcher shop at the beautiful farmshop The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistrano. * The Ecology Center is not only an amazing, kid-friendly place to visit for a farm experience, sustainability education, and some fresh produce. They are doing incredible work in the community, including (but not at all limited to), their Nourishing Neighbors initiative, which donates 20% of what they grow to... food insecure families. * So, come visit us, stock up on some incredible meat and produce, and experience The Ecology Center, too! We'll be there from 11-3 both days. Hope to see you there! * Learn more about the Ecology Center here: https://www.theecologycenter.org/ See more

Did you guys see Chef Michael today on KTLA?! If not, check him out here, talking all about our meat vending machines!

It's been awhile since we bragged about ECB's founder, Michael, so we thought it might be a good time to introduce him to any of our new followers who might not know his incredible story. * Michael was cooking at a local restaurant in Upstate New York when he became fascinated with butchery, reading every book he could on the subject. His curiosity and drive got him the opportunity to work at Barbara Lynch’s The Butcher Shop in Boston. He went on to butcher at Fountaine Bleu ...Hotel and Resort Miami Beach for their nine restaurants. He was soon was noticed by Thomas Keller’s Bouchon in Los Angeles. There, he climbed the ranks once again to Executive Sous Chef. * If you ask Michael when the idea of Electric City Butcher began, he’ll describe a five-week stint in Sicily, exploring the macellerias, restaurants, and local farms of the island villages from which his ancestors came. * And, even with all this going for him, what you'll really notice most when you meet Michael in the shop is how much he loves what he does, how much he connects with and cares about his customers, and how important the transparency and quality of everything he produces is. * Like many of you, Michael is a parent and a spouse, just trying to feed his family the best quality food he can, and change the food system for the better while he's doing it.
