Featured in Food Adventures with Sheldon
Black Sage Butcher was featured in Sheldon Herman’s Food Adventures column in the Times Chronicle. As a regular customer of Black Sage Butcher, Sheldon has experienced our shop from both sides of the counter—from shopping our display cases to rolling up his sleeves in one of our sausage-making classes. In his review, he shares what sets Black Sage Butcher apart: premium-quality meats, thoughtfully prepared foods, and the knowledge, craftsmanship, and care behind everything we do.
“What they’ve built isn’t just a butcher shop—it’s a go-to destination for quality meat, knowledgeable service, and products that consistently outperform anything you’ll find in a typical grocery store.“
