I can roundly applaud every interaction with this group of people after 5+ years of excellent service. They are the go-to for high quality meats from locally sourced humanely raised products. They are the standard for our Thanksgiving and Winter Holiday meals. More than that, the staff is knowledgeable and will take all the time needed to explain cuts, cooking process, or any other matter. Throughout the pandemic, they have been the epitome of responsible health protocols much to my appreciation. I am very happy to wear a mask, and do curb-side only pick-up as the dynamic public health picture dictates. Oh, and of course - get the ham biscuit.

Wish I had known about this place years ago. I ordered some beef from here and when I got there Alex took care of cuts. Hands down a very cool place. Recommend going there at minimum to see what they have to offer. Once you go in youll definitely leave with a great cut. Ill be back for sure.

What a great butcher shop. Delicious healthy well raised (i.e. natural, not factory farmed) meat. Great service. Clean shop and can see the butchers at work. One of my favourite places in Charlottesville. Ill miss it so much when I leave. Well located downtown. Like a good proper butcher shop, can get all sorts of different cuts you dont get at supermarket, and chat about what you want with butcher. I like that they care about masks still, and provide new masks if you forget yours (as I did once). Good on them. Here are some of the meals Ive made with their meat, and their ham biscuit.

No mask, no meat. Works for me. Made sense about a year ago but we have a vaccine, and cdc has said if you ain’t wearing an N95 what’s the point. Their choice to mask up. I recommend we take our choice somewhere else.

I have no beef with the beef. It is excellent and so is the pork (*****stars). I understand the employees concerns, made in good faith, regarding the health of their loved ones. I also acknowledge their right to request that patrons mask-up while on their private property. However, I won’t be back till the mask requirement is lifted. Poorly fitted surgical masks have zero impact on reducing transmission of aerosolised particles, and consequently are as effective as trying to stop mosquitos with cyclone fencing.

Awesome!! I cant wait to cook and eat my steaks!! The guys were friendly and helpful. I was very impressed and glad to see young mean bringing back the butcher and adding their spin to it!! Lots of different beer and wine. A few different cheeses and tshirts also!

Amazing biscuits! Ive ordered ahead for my tailgate this weekend.

Their “Stock Ham Biscuit” is hands-down the BEST ham biscuit I’ve ever had in my life! Heavenly. Would’ve taken a photo ... but devoured it before the thought even crossed my mind! This is a MUST for anyone visiting Charlottesville! Nick, the employee we interacted with, was kind and provided a smooth and positive experience. Would 100% recommend!

Turning away customers; all must wear a mask - still? Come on; we have had enough...catch up.Ok, if you really want to protect your family then dont expose them; stay closed... Or continue to virtue signal...

They are a butcher shop but their biscuits on the weekends are the star of the show. Delicious flaky and buttery biscuits with thinly shaved ham. A delight and a different spin on the classic Virginia ham biscuit. Follow @marleyrecs on Instagram for more Charlottesville recommendations!

Delicious meat! I pre-ordered my steaks on the website and got a call back right away to coordinate the pickup, and receive few helpful cooking tips. Prices are good too.I highly recommend this shop and will definitely stop here again.

Excellent cuts and amazing specialty sandwiches like the breakfast ham biscuit. Also the best burger in C-ville, when its available. Entire staff is pleasant and very accommodating and have had excellent experiences each time, especially Ben. Thanks guys!

Ham biscuits are on point and totally worth visiting for, just wish they were the size they used to be... the face bacon is amazing from here!

Superb service and excellent quality. I will be a repeat customer!

Sausage..... bacon.... mmmmm. Das bestest meatses fo sho.

10/10 service! Would highly recommend!

Ok, I admit it- I am not a chef, or even a good cook really. A knife is a knife, I don’t know why they look different sometimes- they cut things yes? 🤣 So, JM Stock has been a great resource for me to get high quality meats and produce but more importantly, nonjudgmental customer service. They don’t seem to mind answering what must be some really dumb sounding questions and offering up great advice on how to cook certain cuts or even recipe ideas! My husband and I joined their Meat Club and have a pick up scheduled today, always exciting to see what goodies are in the bag!

JM Stock Provisions is a class act, through and through. Before I even get to how amazing their meats/provisions are, they are great people who always make you feel welcome and involved as a customer. When I ask about products they are always sharing their favorites and are happy to tell me more or help me make choices. Their BPG (Black Pepper Garlic) is out of this world and a staple, pimento cheese if lifechanging, I had been sleeping on their burger meat, and their Virginia Country Breakfast sausage is beyond compare. Really any sausage here is a winner. Do yourself a favor, pay for good quality, savor the enjoyment of cooking/eating this amazing meat and support these people that give a damn about where your food comes from and work hard for it. Their meats have changed the way I cook and eat. Not to mention they support other local businesses in their shop.

Best sausages, ground beef, and biscuits I have ever had. Its a little pricey because of the level of quality they deliver on but its so good that I dont buy meat from grocery stores anymore. The difference in flavor and ethics is too much for me to go back to a super market

This is the best butcher shop Ive ever walked into. My recommendation: show up and ask what they are excited about that day, and then buy it. So far Ive had nothing but great (and surprisingly affordable!) experiences.

My wife Katie and I had JM Stock cater our wedding this past weekend and we could not be happier! The food and service was top notch! We had many guests compliment them and tell us how much they enjoyed the food. It made our reception that much more enjoyable and we highly recommend Matt and his services - very thorough, professional, and delicious!

Highest quality items, nicest staff.beautiful meat and house made sausages from real in-house butchers. A surprisingly good selection of beer, wine and other interesting items. A really nice local shop also known for their ham biscuits til noon.

Good selection and customer service. Solid, old fashioned attention to detail. Prices a bit steep but quality is there.

Awesome people with a great product and a passion to match. You have to understand what youre getting here and feel free to explore at their recommendations. This is not packaged product at whole foods. This is the real deal. The fat on their pork is delicious, and melts in your mouth. Highly recommend.

Super high quality meats and unbelievable service. People talk about how awesome JM Stock is, but you dont really know until you go. They exceed their reputation. If youre looking for local meats, spices, and foods, then you want JM Stock. On our first trip, we picked up some specialty sausages and chocolate from a local chocolatier. And we asked if they could make some 1/4 lbs hotdogs for us. They did. Picked those up yesterday and some lamb bacon. Never had that. Never heard of it, but I couldnt turn down the chance to try something new.They also carry milk, cheeses, spices, Carolina Gold rice, and all sorts of other specialty foods.I hope their operation expands. Id love to see more local farms and creameries selling through them.

Very nice shop. They can get you any cut you want and they really know what they are talking about. Its a very trendy butcher shop. Its spacious and clean and they even have murchadise if you want to support their brand in other ways.

This place rules. Everything Ive purchased here has been top notch, and they probably have the best chorizo Ive ever had. The Meat Club has been great, its a great deal, and its gotten me to try cuts I havent had before and might not have tried otherwise. They always have great advice on how to prepare everything.

4 lamb chops for $37. You open the package and find that 90% of whats edible is fat. Had one decent, delicious bite from each bone; A very disappointing dinner. On a similarly lackluster but a bit brighter of a note, the smoked sausages we got (4 for $10) were decent. Meat was a bit dry but they provided a nice, smoke flavor to the soup I made. Still get 1 star for having to pay $37 for 4 bites of lamb.

This place is the best. They have a fantastic selection of meats that are the highest quality, and the guys are always happy to answer questions and assist in making selections. The ham biscuits are incredible too!

All I have to say is Ham. Biscuit. The ham just melts in your mouth and is so delicious! Can’t wait to try more of their sandwiches!

If you want the best, come here. The cuts are always of the highest quality & the service is top notch.

Varied selection of local meats and other butcher products. Staff is incredibly knowledgeable, willing to assist a first time cook just as easily as a seasoned chef. They have head cheese!

Truly just the best butcher and purveyor of provisions you could ask for. Friendly, approachable, knowledgeable staff with a great sense of humor. JM Stock is one of the best shops in Charlottesville.

Friendly staff and a great selection. Stopping by in the morning? Get a biscuit or three. Saturday? Get lunch. You wont be disappointed.

Their ham biscuit is a must. It sounds simple but the flavors in this sandwich are an artful amalgam that pleases the tastebuds.

The best ham biscuit Ive ever had.

Best ham biscuit ive ever had. And the selection of meat is the best in cville

JM always has the best selection of local meats and are incredibly knowledgeable. All the guys are great as well

Amazing meats and service, and great ham biscuit breakfast sandwiches if you go earlier in the day!

Their deli sliced pastrami and ham are top notch

Ham Biscuits... Order a tray catered for brunch, and youll be the hero of brunch.

Very high quality food and extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Friendly local butcher. I emailed them the day before asking if they had guanciale which is Italian pork jowl bacon for carbonara. I received a prompt reply saying that they didnt have guanciale which is smoked and aged a certain way. They did have smoked face bacon which is the same part of the pig. I went in the next day and everybody was friendly. As soon as I entered every employee greeted me and they got me what I was looking for right away. I made the carbonara with shrimp and it had the most wonderful flavor because of the face bacon (lol). The best dish Ive had in a while and the best butcher shop in Charlottesville. Thanks

Hostile toward service dogs. Its illegal to deny a service dog access, but thats exactly what they tried to do to my diabetic and seizure alert dog. They need to educate themselves on the Americans with Disabilities Act and service dog rights.

Unfortunately, a very disappointing experience in my visit to JM Stock. Had a slider recipe that I needed two two lb ribeyes ground. Here’s what happened-1. We cannot do 2 Ibs through a grinder. The grinder requires 5 Ibs. 2. Tried to sell me a sirloin/ribeye mix. Another worker said that they have a smaller grinder but it’s alread been used for the day and he would charge $42/lb ($32/Ib plus $10 to grind each) if grinder was clean. Beware. In my opinion, This place seems to cater to restaurants not the home cook.

Wonderful staff. They also have a delicious ham-on-biscuit sandwich if you get there before noon.

Bought an excellent steak from Wolf Creek Farm here. Highly recommend.

My sister has lived in the Charlottesville area for a number of years and I was able to find this gem of a local butcher shop. I make it a point to stop by each trip and grab some of their wares, and have never been disappointed. Their Back Bacon is absolutely the best bacon I have ever put in my mouth, and this is saying a lot. It is stupid good (best pan fried, but ok baked too). Their steaks are always on point, especially the Picanha, but all are great. And the John Deez sausages are to die for. My sister is now moving and I put in an order of over $500 of various items since I dont know the next time Ill be up in CVille.Shop these guys, they are amazing!!!

Love these sguys! The staff was encouragable, relatable, and just nice guys. The facility was clean. The selection was great! They even had Spanish Cheese that I havent been able to find! 10/10 would recommend if only for thte friendly service and smiles I encounter when I happened upon the store by chance.

Their $5 ham biscuit sammich is quite possibly the best on this planet.

I go in there often to buy beef bones to make bone stock. I have tried a few of their sausages and all have been amazing! The Mexican Chorizo and the Cuban Cerdito have been my favorites! One time they had some local Sheep Ricotta & that was also bom! The duck fat or schmaltz is also great for those keeping kosher. The cool guys that work there are friendly, attentive & really know their stuff. I only gave then 4 Stars since I have yet to try their cuts of meat nor the in-house stocks. Although Wegmans may be in town, I will still go to these guys for amazing customer service, fresh sausages & beef bones. :-)

Prior to moving to Charlottesville, I endured eight years of vegetarianism. In retrospect, I refer to these years as The Great Depression. The manifestation of my youthful idealism, I refused to support the industrial meat complex and did not live in a place where local, responsibly raised animal products were available. I am grateful that J and M (those are just their first initials, not their actual names) have provided me with a magical wonderland where I can feel good about the food I buy and still get to eat bacon. In the wake of my re-meat-birth, I started the for profit foundation Meat to Miles in which otherwise ambition-less steaks and sausages are converted to approximately 100-120 miles per week. The flesh, muscles, fat, and organs that might otherwise never wander mountain trails get to experience breathtaking vistas in the form of beta-hydroxybutyrate, amino acids, and adenosine triphosphate. An additional beneficiary of the foundation, my stomach, also makes out quite well in the deal. Finally, the foundation is proud to be giving a percentage of my paycheck to local farmers and tattooed bros with butcher knives.

I was not expecting to be confronted with 240 lbs of recently-slaughtered hog this weekend. It was more enjoyable than you would imagine. Really. The MeatBoss knows his stuff. His knives are sharp. His demeanor is that of a--I dunno, a Kitchen DaVinci. Facing your food as a carnivore is a Chastening Thing in the New Millenium.We eat well here.As Matt dismembered the colossal hog in front of him, there was another side of pork crisping on an oil-barrel bbq pit just steps away. The gentleman who makes his living selling pork bbq at festivals basted him lovingly, all night long. Its a form of freedom, is it not? Stock Provisions makes it possible for an independent business person to obtain quality meat for your bbq.I sucked it up and watched with respect as the porker who gave his all for edification of burbon-drinkers and bbq imbibers in Cary, North Carolina became pork chops, baby back ribs, and an unpronounceable (spellable) cut that is the next cuisine craze.The MeatBoss no-nonsense butchering of Ye Aulde Porcine was not for the faint of heart. A thin but fascinated crowd followed the processing of the animal with unfeigned interest.Well butchered meat is something that is as near as an excellent butcher like the MeatBoss. If you can afford it, its worth it. If youre gonna be a carnivore, you can localize it for the greater good. A demo I would not have missed.

They best people and the highest quality meats!!

Quality product from people who are passionate about what they do

Great, helpful service and delicious products!

Ham biscuits, ham biscuits, ham biscuits, I cry. If I don’t get ham biscuits...

Great ham biscuits!

Product is not quality looking and the staff is not friendly! Tried a few products. All below average but the steak was the worst.

Real good Place
