JM Stock

We first came for bacon (several times), but have since bought ground pork and steaks. They are a terrific butcher. They didn’t have enough hanger steak for what I needed, so the guy guided me toward a similar cut as a substitute. And when I mentioned I was planning to sous vide my steaks, he offered to season and vacuum seal them for me! That just made my day.
They’re extremely knowledgable and very friendly. They obviously cost more than the supermarket but the quality is far superior. Their bacon alone is worth a special trip.

I always stop there before taking the Amtrak. It’s probably the best place I’ve had some food. The flavor of the meat is just… beyond this world. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Awesome bacon!!!
Stopped in for some supplies for cooking breakfast at a friend’s. Delicious bacon. Great bread. So glad this place is here.

Wow! Amazing breakfast ham biscuit — probably best I’ve ever had — and overall cool atmosphere! Will definitely be back!

JM Stock Provisions is a Charlottesville gem. Since moving here my husband and I have been meaning to stop in but always forget. This week, we were able to take a pig butchering class through a UVA club. What an incredible experience! Some wine, charcuterie, and cheese greeted us as we came in for the class, and we all gathered around the butcher table where there was half of a massive pig. The butcher was knowledgeable and funny. He knew every inch of this pig and it was amazing to watch. Everyone who works here is obviously passionate about meat and food and puts their whole heart into what they do. They also cooked up a few cuts for us to try — one being a pig skirt steak, a secreto (so good), and they were all delicious. After the class a few of the employees showed us around the shop, even the kitchen. Everything in their meat case is created by them and they have some really unique offerings — like duck and mushroom sausage or whole rabbits. I’d highly recommend taking the class and I’ll be back soon to buy some cuts for dinner.

very well stocked butcher shop. they also offer coffee and has a small collection of books (including Modernist Cuisine) for reading while you drink. they also have some fresh produce (including butter lettuce and fingerling potatoes), and lots of pantry items. great environment over all, and the store is definitely a more modern (and maybe hipster) take on your typical butcher shop.

Top notch whole animal butcher. I just love this place. The meat selection is great, the sausages are great, the biscuits are great, the sandos are great, the produce and beverages are great. This place is great! And the dudes and girl that make it all happen are just great! Charlottesville is lucky to have such a gem!

I first went in and got a pork shoulder and it was DEE-​licious. Went in again for ground beef and brisket for a July 4^th BBQ and boy were my guests pleased. I believe that you should always pay for quality when it comes to what you put in your body and though their meat is on the expensive side, you are getting the absolute best without having to feel bad for it. All of their meat comes from animals who lived great lives on the pasture, not in the pens. The staff clearly love what they do and take pride in their work. If you follow doctor’s advice and eat meat only occasionally, make sure you get your meat here.

THE best ham biscuit I’ve ever had — big, fluffy, buttery biscuits hold a high pile of delicious, thinly sliced ham drizzled with hot sauce and maple syrup — what a great combo! And the cold-​brewed coffee to wash it down with makes for a perfect breakfast, particularly after a late night! Nice space and people, too. Thanks JM Stock Provisions!

Amazing and fresh meat, dairy and produce selection! Great assortment of local wine/​beer! Sandwiches on the weekends, yum! And they are all awesome dudes (and lady) check it out!

I can’t add much more than what the others have said. It’s the bomb if you’re looking for locally sourced foods, and are willing to pay the price for small farm goodness.
Went in on a Sunday for brekky as well. Simple fare but great. The grits are awesome and the sausage gravy and biscuits are also above average. The guys that run it are great and vibe is very nice. The ham for the biscuits is more city ham than country ham — good all the same, but if you’re hankering for salty country ham, this ain’t it. More delicate and well behaved.
This joint needs more business; it should be a local treasure that deserves the time mature and develop.

First time in today. Super friendly folks run it. Bought an some chicken/​apple and pork/​garlic sausages and a chew for my dog.
My dog is now dead cause hit head exploded (joke). Seriously I’ve never seen him look at me like that.
I just finished the sausages. Insane. Perfectly spiced and flavored. Worst part is I didn’t buy enough.
If everything else they sell is so well presented, I’ll be there at least once a week.
Lastly, they’re a local committed business, and you have to love that.

These guys seem very knowledgeable. A friend and I were trying to decide which steaks to grill for dinner that evening, and the guy walked us through the various options. I’m really impressed by what they’re doing, and have much respect for their vision to provide local food and whole animal butchery. Just wish it didn’t cost so much, or I’d be back more often.

Excellent butcher shop. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I am familiar enough with the various cuts of meat, but the staff took their time with me, talked through what I had planned to cook, number of people, etc. and made sure I was happy with the cuts they gave me.
This visit was intended to restock my freezer so I also appreciated the extra time they took to portion out and vacuum seal the meat for me so that I could travel back home comfortably.
An added bonus was the ability to get some dog bones. Unfortunately, they had just finished making marrow butter and so they did not have the larger femur bones I normally buy, but they went into the back freezer and came out with some nice knuckles that still had some marrow and nice bits for my dog. Most places I have gone to would have just told me «no, we are out»; I felt like the folks here went the extra mile and wanted to ensure i had SOMETHING and left happy.
I found the prices more than reasonable — particularly given the quality of the meat. I expected to spend much more than I actually did.
I would recommend calling ahead if you are shopping for more unusual cuts of meat, particularly if you intend to buy in bulk to stock up, like I did. Also, if you need to talk through your purchases with the staff, I would also come earlier in the day. I understand that they get pretty slammed around lunch time as they make deli sandwhiches in addition to everything else they do/​offer. I will definitely be making another trip down to Charlottesville and recommend this shop to anyone who cares about using quality meats.

I stopped in on a whim. The service was excellent. My bacon was sliced right in front of me to a custom thickness. I also bought some Mojo sausages which were freaking awesome! The store was clean and the staff was very knowledgable and willing to discuss the products and methods of preparation. The prices are a little higher than I had hoped, but for the best fresh local meat, this is the place to go.

Went to the shop for a live demo last night and got to know one of the owners and a few members of staff. JM Stock & Supply is a whole-​animal butcher, meaning they start from the entire animal to make their cuts, sausages, jerkies, gravies, and stocks. They’re a great humored group of guys with some serious skill, and are happy to recommend lesser-​known cuts and share recipes. They’re tuned in to the ethics of their business; they buy their animals local organic and make a point to use as much of each pig, cow, or chicken as possible… even saving scraps for dog treats. A big carving table occupies the center of the space, so you can stop by and see them in action!

This is a fantastic butcher shop! The guys who run it are super friendly and very knowledgeable of their craft. Locally sourced meats, lots of extras around the shop, and the prices are well within reason. Worth a stop! They said you can even call ahead and pick up at the curb if needed.

Make it part of your routine to get your meats here and only here. Wish we were closer to make it a regular stop. A visit here will spoil you forever. And be sure to attend one of the butchering demonstrations. We attended one at Bleinheim and gained a new appreciation for our food and obtained some very useful tips to use in our own cooking. Not to mention it was just crazy fun.

Best butcher in town. Hands down.
Bacon that will change your life … rotating sausage selections that will tickle your funny bone (The Sam Elliott, for instance) and fill your belly. Steaks to impress the ladies with. All from REAL organic farmers. They’ll show you the whole butchering process (they’re a lips to tail butcher). The guys there are great dudes dudes that know the butchering process inside and out. And they’re cool as hell.
JM Stock is what a store should be.
