Frequent Questions for A Kalamazoo Butchershop

January 28, 2026

Ask anyone whose every gotten their meat from a local butchershop before, and we’re sure they’ll tell you it’s worth it. Here at Pease Packing, we vow to every customer that their cuts are precise and that their meats are packed with precision and full flavors in mind, giving them meals to remember later on.

In this month’s blog, we’re discussing frequently asked questions we receive here at Pease Packing, and how we help ensure first time butcher shop visitors peace of mind that their purchase for premium meats is worth their while.

Questions Our Customers Ask

For a first-timer, walking into a butcher shop can be an eye-opening experience that is far more personalized and educational than shopping at a large grocery store. Unlike a pre-packaged supermarket, a butcher shop offers a greater variety of cuts and custom options, and the staff are experts who can help guide shoppers.

Our staff at Pease Packing expects and encourages these questions to build a relationship and help customers feel more confident:

  • What is your process?
    • Depending on the species, we generally hang up the meat to dry age for 10-14 days, process it, flash-freeze it, and package it for pickup. For more information on our process, click here to view our Meat Processing page.
  • What is your turnaround time?
    • While it depends on the species of meat, a general rule is that we hang meat for 10-14 days before we begin making the primal cuts. Afterwards it’s onto packaging and flash freezing, which may take some time as well.
  • How full are you?
    • While our capacity fluctuates, we are generally more busy during certain times of the year. During fair season and winter is when we are the most full.
  • Where is Pease Packing located?
