Aloha,

Our goal has always been to provide our community with a reliable source of fresh, local, meat from Hawai`i Island, and we’re doing our best to maintain that through the COVID-19 pandemic. While we remain open, we’d like to share what we’re doing to protect the health and safety of our customers, families, and community.

First of all, we’d like to send a big mahalo out to you, our customers, for your amazing support as we face this unprecedented time. We are now partnering with more farmers and local makers by offering a weekly Butcher+ Farmer Box of various local meats, produce, and local products. To help those in need, we are offering meat case discounts to kama'aina, medical workers and those in the service industry who have lost their jobs.

Here are some of the measures we are taking to ensure the health and safety of our customers, staff, and community while remaining open:

Sanitation and high standards of cleanliness have always been important to processing our meat. We’ve increased sanitization and now have a staff member devoted only to cleaning in the shop.
All staff and customers are required to wear face masks at all times in the shop.
All of our staff are required to practice and enforce social distancing at the shop, and wash their hands regularly.
Only three customers are allowed in the shop at a time, to maintain a 6-10 foot distance apart. No in-shop dining is allowed, only takeout.
Our hours are: Tuesday - Friday 10am - 5:30pm and Saturday 10am - 5pm. We are closed Sunday and Monday.

We are actively following the latest developments in our community and continue to follow guidelines set forth. As always, you can contact us at (808) 657-4178 if you have any questions or would like to place an order. We will do our best to keep you informed through a variety of channels, including social media and here on the website.

Thank you again so much for your support of Waimea Butcher Shop. Because of you, we are able to keep our doors open and continue to help farmers and ranchers get their goods to market as well as get local food to our community. We hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

Mahalo,
Mills

About Us

Over the course of his 20-year culinary career, Mills Stovall dreamed of one day opening a Michelin Star-quality fine dining restaurant. Then one spring morning, that all changed. His daughter Hali`a was born and suddenly the critical acclaim that once fueled him didn’t seem to matter. What did matter was being able to sustain his family and their community. He had in mind a butcher shop that helped farmers and ranchers get their meat to market without sending it to the mainland, providing people with a reliable and friendly source of fresh, local, hormone and antibiotic-free meat from Hawai`i Island.

Mills and his wife Kamalei opened Waimea Butcher Shop, LLC, in 2017. Waimea Butcher Shop is a specialty butcher shop and deli in Waimea, Hawai`i, that specializes in local grass-fed beef, pork, lamb, and house-made charcuterie. They only partner with ranchers and farmers who share their respect for the land and the animals that feed them. In honoring traditional butchery and respect for the animal, they use the whole animal. Meats are sliced-to-order, cuts and varieties will vary based on daily availability, and artisanal sandwiches are available as well. They offer a delicious and sustainable alternative to conventional meat and bring back the relationship the community once had with their butcher.
