Bolyard’s will use only animals that are pasture-raised and handled humanely.
“I’ve always loved butchering,” Bolyard told Riverfront Times. “I’ve always been really passionate about it, and over the years at Sidney Street I’ve been able to hone it. It’s a craft. It’s a skill. It’s something that St. Louis is definitely ready for and needs.”
Bolyard’s will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
