Our History
A convenient alternative to supermarkets
Premium Whole Animal Butchery
We bring in the entire animal directly from the farmer.
Rib & Oyster is a whole animal butchery that provides a consistent outlet for farmers who need to move product regularly in order to continue to thrive. Because of this, we have to work within the confines that practicing business this way may create.
