It’s almost the holidays. For us that means celebration food. Like crown roasts. Osso Buco. Tenderloin for my birthday and maybe New Year’s Eve.
As far as I know, there is only one butcher left in Howard County. Boarman’s. We get so many special orders there. Like the osso buco.
Not too far away we do have lots of choices.
Oella. JW Treuth’s. They did change hands recently but the quality is still there. They were a major source for our Zahradka winter CSA a few years back.
Northern PG County in Laurel. Laurel Meat Market and Beiler’s in the Amish market on Rte. 198.
I have tried all but Laurel Meat Market. I should try them as Howchow loves them, and I respect his opinion.
If you want to buy small business and local for your main course at any holiday meal, you can’t go wrong with these choices. I mean, how good looking is this?

how about todays catch wilde lake village columbia based ..for YEARS are the best
I didn’t consider them a butcher, but they are a small business worthy of being included in my list. I don’t use them often these days, due to distance. Now that I am north of Clarksville, I use Roots and Boarman’s, instead of David’s and Today’s Catch.
