8 Must-Visit Oregon Butcher Shops For Farm-Fresh Meats You’ll Absolutely Love

Locals in Oregon have been keeping a little secret and I’m going to be the one to spill the beans.

Or the meat…Not the beans.

If farm-fresh meats make your heart skip a beat, our beloved Beaver State is a must-go-to.

Across Oregon, old-school craft and modern ethics come together in butcher shops where skilled pros know their ranchers by name and take real pride in every cut.

You will find dry-aged steaks that cook up like butter, sausages with snap and spice, and smoked specialties that make dinner plans easy.

Consider this your friendly roadmap to standout Oregon butcher spots worth the drive, the detour, and the extra cooler in your trunk!

Here, cases brim with fresh-cut steaks, meaty pork chops, beef ribs, and chicken ready for your grill plan.

Their hand-crafted sausages are the real flex, with everything from traditional bratwurst to jalapeno cheddar links that burst with flavor.

You will also find a mouthwatering lineup of smoked meats, including peppered bacon, double-smoked hams, and snack sticks that disappear on road trips.

But, what makes Gartner’s special is consistency.

They care about quality and it shows in their marbling, their trim, and the way every sausage snaps.

So, swing by for a freezer stock-up deal or just grab a few steaks and a pack of German franks, then grill and taste why this shop keeps winning loyal fans.

3. Laurelhurst Market

Laurelhurst Market, at 3155 E Burnside Street, wears two hats beautifully: a serious butcher shop by day and a destination steakhouse by night.
