Your Chester County butchers are an integral part of the community, and buying local helps support small businesses, the economy, and farms. If you want to switch up your grocery routine, head to these 2 locations to get your next cut of fresh meat, writes Leigh Green for PA Eats.
In Phoenixville, Foresta’s Country Meat Market has been serving the public since its current location in 1974. However, the family got into the meat market business in 1934 when John Foresta sold produce and meat out of his truck in the North Side of Phoenixville. Decades later, Bill Foresta opened a store at 205 Church Street before the family made its final settlement on W. Bridge Street.
With its onsite butchery, the staff serves fresh pork, poultry, and Angus-certified beef. They even offer deer processing. In addition to meat, they supply catering, premade salads, sandwiches, and soups, as well as baked goods at their market.
Though technically located near the PA/DE border, this Chadds Ford butcher calls itself a “small business with a huge selection.” The Meat House Market has everything you need for a family dinner during the week or catering for a party.
Pick your choice from pork, poultry, beef, seafood, and lamb. They even have exotic meat like gator, snake, camel, and frog legs. Cover your food with the 150+ spices and sauces they have in their market, too.
