Local, Fresh, Safe Curbside Grocery Pickup at Louise Earl Butcher on Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids If you’re looking for meat in Grand Rapids, there’s no shortage at my favorite butcher. Louise Earl Butcher, in the heart of the Wealthy Street neighborhood, is remaining open as a necessary business during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have supplied Grand Rapids locals and Michigan restaurants alike with fresh, quality meats, dairy and groceries for four years. Normally, in addition to the made-from-scratch fresh sausages, smoked deli meat free-range eggs, and all-natural cuts from lamb, beef, pork and chicken, they also host dinner parties, themed butcher dinners and classes on terrine and sausage making, butchering and more. They supply some specialty items such as offal, or organ meat, for special recipes and occasions, which are used for anything from liver-burgers to raw-diets for beloved pets. They often supply pickled snacks such as cornichons and peppadews, deli items like potato and kale salads and baked items as well. They are recently featuring family-style meals prepared in house and often have a featured produce selection, which can be verified via the Louise Earl Facebook or Instagram page.

Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, the butcher shop is currently offering curbside pick up. Patrons may call the shop to place an order. Louise Earl Butcher staff will call back once weight and price are totaled for your grocery list, at which point you may pay over the phone with a credit card. Upon arrival, guests are encouraged to call the shop number (calls are often made out from employee personal numbers to facilitate an open line for the shop’s landline), and an employee will run outside to drop off the order on a table outside. While Louise Earl Butcher is unable to currently host people inside to look at the beautiful case display, they are happy to bring groceries outside, and without physical contact, in order to ensure safe and responsible social distancing measures.

Meat and eggs are sourced from farms within 60 miles of the shop and are visited weekly by the owners and staff for pick up. It is clear upon visiting and interacting with Louise Earl Butcher that they are diligent, thorough, and care about their community.
