Philadelphia Butcher Shops

[degustazione]

i am trying to find a butcher shop that deals with whole animals in and around the city? is there any that do their processing on site or are they all just buying based on supply and demand.

thanks

I've never seen a whole cow, but definitely whole goats, lambs, and pigs at several of the Ninth Street butchers. Esposito's is the biggest (leading me to think they deal in at least sides of beef), D'Angelo's the fanciest, and Cappuccio's the sweet spot of price and quality, in my experience. And if you want live poultry, simply wander down Ninth Street towards Federal...

If you're looking for a small family butcher, Kolb's Meats in Spring City. Half hour - forty-five minutes out of the city.
