How America Lost Its Butcher Shops

🥩 Most Americans under 40 have never stepped foot in a butcher shop.

Think about that.

We went from knowing exactly where our food came from… to relying almost entirely on grocery stores and it didn’t happen by accident.

It traces back to the early 1900s, when consolidation in the meat industry first became a concern (highlighted by The Jungle), leading to reforms that temporarily broke things up.

But by the 1980s, consolidation came roaring back and today:
👉 A handful of companies control the majority of meat processing
👉 Small processors have largely disappeared or been forced into niches
👉 Farmers and ranchers lost pricing power in the system

Then the pandemic exposed just how fragile that system really is.

And here’s the reality:
When cattle prices rise, processors get squeezed and that cost gets pushed somewhere… usually to the consumer.

That’s exactly why Valor Provisions exists:
👉 To create a more direct path between farms, ranches, and consumers
👉 To bring back transparency
👉 And to make high-quality meat more accessible

Because buying direct from producers shouldn’t be the exception, it should be the standard.
