I was not expecting to be confronted with 240 lbs of recently-slaughtered hog this weekend. It was more enjoyable than you would imagine. Really. The MeatBoss knows his stuff. His knives are sharp. His demeanor is that of a--I dunno, a Kitchen DaVinci. Facing your food as a carnivore is a Chastening Thing in the New Millenium. We eat well here. As Matt dismembered the colossal hog in front of him, there was another side of pork crisping on an oil-barrel bbq pit just steps away. The gentleman who makes his living selling pork bbq at festivals basted him lovingly, all night long. Its a form of freedom, is it not? Stock Provisions makes it possible for an independent business person to obtain quality meat for your bbq. I sucked it up and watched with respect as the porker who gave his all for edification of burbon-drinkers and bbq imbibers in Cary, North Carolina became pork chops, baby back ribs, and an unpronounceable (spellable) cut that is the next cuisine craze. The MeatBoss no-nonsense butchering of Ye Aulde Porcine was not for the faint of heart. A thin but fascinated crowd followed the processing of the animal with unfeigned interest. Well butchered meat is something that is as near as an excellent butcher like the MeatBoss. If you can afford it, its worth it. If youre gonna be a carnivore, you can localize it for the greater good. A demo I would not have missed.

Prior to moving to Charlottesville, I endured eight years of vegetarianism. In retrospect, I refer to these years as The Great Depression. The manifestation of my youthful idealism, I refused to support the industrial meat complex and did not live in a place where local, responsibly raised animal products were available. I am grateful that J and M (those are just their first initials, not their actual names) have provided me with a magical wonderland where I can feel good about the food I buy and still get to eat bacon. In the wake of my re-meat-birth, I started the for profit foundation Meat to Miles in which otherwise ambition-less steaks and sausages are converted to approximately 100-120 miles per week. The flesh, muscles, fat, and organs that might otherwise never wander mountain trails get to experience breathtaking vistas in the form of beta-hydroxybutyrate, amino acids, and adenosine triphosphate. An additional beneficiary of the foundation, my stomach, also makes out quite well in the deal. Finally, the foundation is proud to be giving a percentage of my paycheck to local farmers and tattooed bros with butcher knives.

I go in there often to buy beef bones to make bone stock. I have tried a few of their sausages and all have been amazing! The Mexican Chorizo and the Cuban Cerdito have been my favorites! One time they had some local Sheep Ricotta & that was also bom! The duck fat or schmaltz is also great for those keeping kosher. The cool guys that work there are friendly, attentive & really know their stuff. I only gave then 4 Stars since I have yet to try their cuts of meat nor the in-house stocks. Although Wegmans may be in town, I will still go to these guys for amazing customer service, fresh sausages & beef bones. :-)

4 lamb chops for $37. You open the package and find that 90% of whats edible is fat. Had one decent, delicious bite from each bone; A very disappointing dinner. On a similarly lackluster but a bit brighter of a note, the smoked sausages we got (4 for $10) were decent. Meat was a bit dry but they provided a nice, smoke flavor to the soup I made. Still get 1 star for having to pay $37 for 4 bites of lamb.

My wife Katie and I had JM Stock cater our wedding this past weekend and we could not be happier! The food and service was top notch! We had many guests compliment them and tell us how much they enjoyed the food. It made our reception that much more enjoyable and we highly recommend Matt and his services - very thorough, professional, and delicious!

They even had Spanish Cheese that I havent been able to find! 10/10 would recommend if only for thte friendly service and smiles I encounter when I happened upon the store by chance.

Awesome people with a great product and a passion to match. You have to understand what youre getting here and feel free to explore at their recommendations. This is not packaged product at whole foods. This is the real deal. The "fat" on their pork is delicious, and melts in your mouth. Highly recommend.

Hostile toward service dogs. Its illegal to deny a service dog access, but thats exactly what they tried to do to my diabetic and seizure alert dog. They need to educate themselves on the Americans with Disabilities Act and service dog rights.

Product is not quality looking and the staff is not friendly! Tried a few products. All below average but the steak was the worst.

Wonderful staff. They also have a delicious ham-on-biscuit sandwich if you get there before noon.
