Top Quality Meats & Custom Butchering…

To the happy delight of meat lovers throughout Lancaster County and visitors from regions beyond, the Appel Valley Butcher opened a retail shop in May of 2017, after having provided custom butchering for the local community since 2010.

Family owned and operated, the Appel Valley team is ready to exceed the expectations of their fast growing list of loyal and discerning customers.  Conveniently located along Rte 222, just south of Lancaster City, this hidden gem is near Willow Street, Strasburg, Lampeter, Millersville, and Quarryville but is definitely worth the drive from wherever you are.

Just as you would expect with any old-fashioned butcher shop, Appel Valley’s focus is filling custom meat orders and stocking their meat case each week with the very best quality fresh and smoked meats.

Reminiscent of an era before shoppers could buy all of their meats pre-packaged at impersonal  supermarkets, Appel Valley hand-cuts all of their meats (USDA Choice or higher), makes all of their sausage varieties in-house, hand-mixes their gourmet burgers, and slow smokes all of their hams, bacons, meat sticks, and bolognas.
