If you’ve never had your meat processed locally, you’re not alone—but you may be missing out on one of the most rewarding, sustainable, and flavorful choices you can make. At Brick Church Meats & More, we’re passionate about helping individuals, families, and farmers experience the true value of locally raised, locally processed meat.

So what makes it different from buying a plastic-wrapped cut at the grocery store? Everything.

From the Pasture to Your Plate—Not a Thousand Miles Away

Most store-bought meat has traveled hundreds—sometimes thousands—of miles, passed through multiple hands, and sat in cold storage before reaching the shelf. By the time it hits your cart, much of its freshness and flavor has been lost.

When you choose local meat processing, you’re:

• Supporting nearby farms and ranches

• Reducing food miles and your carbon footprint

• Knowing exactly where your meat comes from and how it was raised

At Brick Church Meats & More, we work closely with farms like LoKey Ranch, right here in Giles and Marshall Counties, where cattle are raised humanely and naturally. Our facility is just a dozen miles away from the pastures, meaning your meat goes from pasture to processor to plate in record time — with full transparency every step of the way.

Custom Cuts, Tailored to You

When you process your own animal or buy a local whole, half, or quarter, you get to choose exactly how your meat is cut and packaged. Want thicker steaks? More roasts? Ground beef in 1-pound packages? It’s all up to you.

With our easy-to-use online cut sheets or downloadable forms, you can give our expert butchers the guidance they need to prepare your meat exactly how you like it.

No guessing. No compromises. Just quality, customized meat — prepared the way your family actually eats.

A More Sustainable Choice

Factory farming and industrial-scale meat production come with a high environmental cost. When you support local processors like Brick Church Meats & More, you’re choosing a more sustainable, ethical model:

• Lower emissions from transport

• Less waste and packaging

• Better animal welfare standards

• Greater economic support for your own community

You’re also choosing to eat in tune with the seasons and the rhythms of real agriculture—not just the demands of mass-market supply chains.

It’s About Trust, Taste and Tradition

When you buy a package of meat from the grocery store, you rarely know what’s behind the label. But with local processing, you’re building a relationship with your butcher and your farmer. You’re eating meat that’s fresher, more flavorful and free of unnecessary additives or preservatives.

This is what the farm-to-table movement is all about: reconnecting with your food, your land, and your local economy. And it’s not just a trend—it’s a way of life that values honesty, health and heritage.
