About B&C
Beast & Cleaver is a family-owned, neighborhood whole-animal butcher shop and restaurant driven by one obsession: sourcing the best possible meat for your family and the planet.
At Beast & Cleaver, regenerative agriculture and whole animal butchery are central to our mission of sustainability and exceptional flavor. By partnering with trusted local farms — around 80% in Washington and another 10–15% across the Pacific Northwest — we ensure our meat is ethically sourced, organically raised in practice, and kind to the environment. Utilizing the entire animal not only reduces waste, but also honors the farmers’ work and provides you with the highest quality cuts, and the best possible flavor — sustainably and responsibly.
