Boston Public Market New Butcher

Boston Public Market has just added The Farmhouse Meats to the line up of vendors at the market. Owners Julie and Shawn Hennigan are excited to welcome customers to the new butcher shop!

“When they eat well; we eat well,” Shawn Hennigan says. “And what they eat affects how lean and flavorful the meat is. Not getting antibiotics and growth hormones has a major impact on how much healthier it is for us to eat the meat. It also affects the flavor and how lean the meat is. This is a lot better than what you can get in the supermarket!” 

The owners live and work on the farm and also breed and show Friesian horses as well as Labrador Retrievers. They specialize in all-natural, farm-raised pork and Black Angus beef. All their cuts are antibiotic and artificial growth hormone-free. The spot will be open Wednesdays through Sundays from 10AM to 6PM.

“To be a farmer you have to be passionate about what you do,” Julie Hennigan says. “There are very few days off. The animals totally rely on their people for their care. And we want them to have a happy life before they are on our table.”   

Additionally, we take this as an opportunity to inform you that today chef Aidan Mc Gee will be at the Market to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day. He will be demonstrating his recipe for Modern Irish Soda Bread and Seaweed Butter and Fresh Crab from 4PM to 5:30PM. Chef Aidan is one of Ireland’s Top Chefs according to the Tatler Magazine. He will be opening The Dubliner who was featured on one of our previous blog posts.
