HarvestBox

HarvestBox is Closing November 7

After 9 years of selling our meat collections online, we’ve decided to end online sales on HarvestBox and focus on our custom processing for whole animals and our brick and mortar butcher shop, Byron Center Meats. We have been so blessed by working with our farm partners and customers and enjoyed providing local, all natural meat collections. Many of the same meats (grassfed beef, bison, salmon, chicken, pork) are sold in our shop, so if you’re local to West Michigan, we’d love to have you stop in and shop with us. We will no longer offer shipping for the collections that were sold on HarvestBox.com.

Click the tab “Quality Meats & More” above to see a selection of what we sell or just come in to Byron Center Meats and shop for your favorites.

Byron Center Meats Through The Years

A New Opportunity - 1984

In 1984 a new opportunity opened up for Byron Center Locker. Sysco Food Service of Grand Rapids was looking for a supplier that could provide them with fresh cut steaks to be distributed by Sysco to hotels, restaurants, and institutions throughout Michigan.

Down but not Out!

A fire on July 22, 2007, destroyed our retail store, offices, and some production spaces. With help from contractors, vendors, and employees, we set up temporary spaces and were back in production in 3 days.

New Retail Store - May 2009

After the fire in 2007, we built a 13,000 square foot addition that includes new processing rooms, coolers, freezers, offices and of course the retail store.
