Forbes Meat Co.

In 2017, I started talking with local ranchers to find out what their biggest needs were. Every rancher said the exact same thing, “We need help processing and distributing our meats”. At this time there was no local whole animal butcher shop in Tucson that broke down whole animals and none that sold local meat. There was a gap in the food system that I knew Forbes could fill and this gave birth to our mission, the mission to support the local ranchers as a local butcher.

All my friends wanted to be rock and roll stars and I just wanted to cook food and feed them. I fell in love with the beauty of food and butchery at the age of fourteen. All my buddies were playing the guitar and I was in the kitchen cooking. One of my first jobs was at a little Mom and Pop grocery store, Rancho Market. This little market had an old school butcher shop in it with the hard wood floors all covered in saw dust. My first job as a butcher was cleaning the meat off of bones. My friends thought it was cool that I would cook for their parents. Not much has changed and I still love entertaining. It was in this little butcher shop that I fell in love with the butchers work of breaking down whole sides of beef. However the butcher was much more than just the guy you bought meat from. He was the guy everyone talked to. Going to the butcher wasn’t just about the meat but it was a social call. Growing up in Newport Beach, California there were lots of independent local grocery stores with cool butcher shops in them. It was in these independent stores that I learned the butchery trade and many other departments in the retail grocery business as well. I worked in the deli making sandwiches and catering. I stocked the grocery shelves and even went to a wine tasting with the wine buyer at the age of sixteen or seventeen, yes this was the eighties. However my passion was the meat and seafood world and I was very lucky to get to work with the best in the business at the time.
