Morro Bay Butcher and Deli is at 911 Main St., morrobaybutcher.com, and @morrobaybutcher on Facebook and Instagram. It's open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Morro Bay Butcher and Deli aims to bring customers meat that's as local as possible and handled as little as possible.
Butcher Geoff Montgomery, who opened the butcher shop and deli in December 2020 with his wife, Jillian Montgomery, and their friend, Evan Martz, said his goal is to be 75 percent local in the case by the end of the year.
Currently, some of Morro Bay Butcher and Deli's beef comes from Molnar Cattle LLC out of Cayucos and Rudnick Land and Cattle Co. from the Central Valley. Autonomy Farms out of Bakersfield supplies pasture raised, all natural, antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken. And the butcher shop is currently getting its lamb from New Zealand's Coastal Lamb. You can also find pork and venison—and look forward to the future, when Geoff plans to bring in some duck.
