Iverstine Family Farms opening full-service butcher shop on Perkins Road
Iverstine Family Farms, a Kentwood-based family farm that’s been a staple of the Red Stick Farmers Market in downtown Baton Rouge since 2011, announced plans yesterday to open a full-service butcher shop and smokehouse in a Perkins Road retail development that is expected to be completed during the summer.
Iverstine Farms Butcher, 4765 Perkins Road, will offer a variety of grass-fed beef, pasture raised Berkshire pork, chicken, holiday turkeys and lamb from its farm, as well as cured and smoked sausages, bacon and ham from its onsite smokehouse, the Iverstine family says in a news release.
“The butcher shop is going to allow us to offer more options to existing patrons while giving us greater access to customers who were unable to catch us at the farmer’s market on Saturdays,” owner Galen Iverstine says in a statement. “Interacting with our customers is a very important part of what we do; we now will have a space where customers can come find out exactly how we raise our animals, get suggestions for the perfect cut of meat for their dinner, and have it cut to their exact specifications.”
