The Butcher’s Market – Cary

The Butcher’s Market on Kildaire Farm Road in Cary is a butcher shop and specialty grocer run by a father-and-son team. The counter is stocked with premium meats, and the promise the family makes is simple: you will taste the difference.

Hospitality is the other half of it. The store is set up to be quick to get through and a little bit fun to shop, which is not how most people describe a meat counter, and enough of the rest of dinner is on the shelves that one stop usually does it.

What to know

• Steaks come from grass-fed cattle or from cattle raised on a Midwestern corn diet.
• Bread from Stick Boy Bread Co., a local bakery, is sold alongside the meat.
• The shop shares guidance for customers eating a Paleo diet.
