ABOUT US

MY CORNER BUTCHER HISTORY

Located in an old warehouse that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, our shop which was built between 1918 and 1923, was originally a storage facility for a company known as G.W. Parson and Son that stored cotton until the 1930's. D.M. Jones a local hardware merchant occupied the building until 1948 when an auto repair business operated there, and the following year in 1948 Armstrong Motor Company a Studebaker dealership moved in until 1955.


The retail entrance at 508 North Poindexter Street is located at the rear of the building and adds a definite industrial feel to your shopping experience while the front of the structure on 509 North Water Street exhibits the full character of the building which has three segmental-arched lintel windows and two arched doorways one for personnel, the other for use as a dock. The original bars on the windows remain harking back to the height of a warehouse district which was a half block from a busy railyard.


Upon entering the shop, visitors will experience an intact warehouse environment with exposed brick walls and a ceiling that stands out architecturally with wooden trusses supported by metal braces. Our staff are pleased to have you visit us and learn more about our shop and the products we offer.

About our Elizabeth City Butcher Shop

My Corner Butcher sources angus beef from a midwestern plant that is breed specific and specializes in producing higher grades of beef under strict grading standards assuring our customers of an exceptional eating experience. For those discerning customers that prefer a true all-natural product, we offer for sale beef from Joyce Farms, a Winston Salem company with unmatched quality standards, and this GAP certified vendor is a supplier of natural chicken and turkeys as well as other specialty items. Joyce's product is never administered antibiotics, never given growth hormones, never fed GMO foodstuff, and their animals are humanely raised.

Our pork is sourced from a reputable mid-west packer and from a North Carolina company that produces an all-natural product. Rounding out our meat selection is all-natural bison and elk. Our staff can walk you through a meat selection when you visit us, or you can call or email us with questions.

While as a butcher shop our meat selection is the focus of our business, we also carry a full line of local seafood, and we specialize in offering small batch specialties sourced from throughout the state of North Carolina. For those not familiar with small batch, these are small independently operated companies that produce food in smaller quantities. These products have fewer ingredients, are fresher and are manufactured by passionate owners dedicated to food quality which translates to heathier food consumption. Mass-produced low-quality foods are creating a dietary crisis whereas small batch producers exercise greater attention to detail, have more control over the process and use fewer additives.

This shop caters to the individual who is invested in creating a heathy lifestyle for themselves, their family, and their friends. Consuming small batch food will have an impact on your lifestyle. Join us in learning more about these vendors and their products.

My Corner Butcher is a USDA facility while grocery stores are inspected by the local health department. USDA sites such as ours operate under the strictest enforcement standards in the food industry. This equates to your order as being processed in the safest environment. Unlike many of the internet marketers of meat products, we cut and process our own products, and we deliver your order with our fleet of refrigerated equipment. There is no reliance on any third-party services to take and process and then deliver your items. This separates us from the majority.

You will avoid the disappointment and long lines at the supermarket when you shop at My Corner Butcher and enjoy the convenience of our home and business delivery services. We are supportive of community organizations in that we offer a fundraising program to groups in search of a campaign.

Our associates look forward to assisting you.
