WHO YOU ARE
An inviting, meat-loving, people-person who looks forward to selling the best local meat our region has to offer. You love cooking meat and sharing recipes with fellow meat-enthusiasts. You dream of an era of simplicity, in which a clean old-fashion butcher shop is a beacon of hope. You have a beautifying aesthetic, adorning meat is your new thing.
You may want to be the character at the corner butcher shop that can greet return customers for years to come. Or you may have the desire to become a butcher, but have no prior training. If so, this is a stepping stone to begin your career as a butcher.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
As a Retail Butcher Shop Counter Hop you are motivated to sell locally raised meat. You ensure an appealing display, and maintain a high quality of freshness by following procedures for prepping, storing, rotating, and wrapping up product. This position requires a smile, accuracy, and an engaged mind.
