Hands down the most phenomenal butcher shop in the area. Well, it may be the only one in the area…read moreunless you head east for several miles then you may come across a local butcher shop in the Manchester area. On 6/10/23, they held an open house to showcase their meats and options available to the general public. They are a butcher shop specializing in cow, pig, lamb and chicken, but they offer many other things in their freezers. The place is small, so go early when they open as you'll get first pick of the freshest meat in the refrigerator on the right side. Those are meats that were cut within the last 24 hours, vacuum sealed and placed directly into the fridge. Next to that fridge is their selection of beer jerky. Next to the meat fridge is also one containing pasta salads, homemade cretons and other sides you would typically add to your BBQ. On the left side is where you'll find the majority of their products in the freezer section. You can get anything from pork belly, bacon, fried clam strips, fish, chicken, lamb, chicken hearts, ribeyes, ground sirloin and SO much more. I didn't even scratch the surface with that list. My wife and I purchased a 1.5lb sirloin steak, 1lb of fresh lobster meat, a pound of bacon, one 0.94lb ribeye steak, a decent size ham steak, and fried clam strips (frozen). Price wise I feel they are very competitive, if not better, than local grocery stores who cut their meats on site or get them pre-cut and delivered. The quality of the sirloin was incredible. I cooked it to a perfect medium and the fat around the edges melted like butter and it was one of the most tender piece of meats my wife has ever had. Her words, not mine. She is a tough one to impress when it comes so steaks. Sorry to those local corporate grocery stores and Walmart because we are getting all our meats from here on out at Castonguay meats. The original owner and creator was on hand during the open house to welcome us. I am willing to travel to this place just to get my meats moving forward for all future BBQs.

Simply the finest handcrafted sausages and meats I have ever had. When I say handcrafted that is…read moreexactly what I mean. This business is an Amish owned and operated business, they do not use electricity so everything is done by hand and with traditional Amish tools and physical labor. Matt is a master at creating unique flavor combinations that are bold, bright and true to the taste of meat he is using. The protein is always the star ingredient and the way he blends the spices and flavors is just wonderful. When you first arrive take your time to observe the meats and cheeses but most importantly stand silently away from the counter and smell the smells and observe the kind and thoughtful interactions of Matt with his meats, sausages, cheeses and most importantly his customers. This man is thoughtful, smart with a slightly dry sense of humor, he is never in a hurry and takes his time with each customer. If you don't have time or patience don't go because you will ruin this amazing experience for the people that want to learn, enjoy and simply share a part of this mans life and passion. This is a must visit destination if you are within 250 miles, bucket list item.

Not only did she find the cut of pork butt I was looking for she cut it to the weight that I ideally wanted! I loved butcher shops - this is the classic service I grew up with. It's not a huge location, however, they have so many great products in this store. Everything is organized, clean and well labeled. The other product I was looking for was locally made "The Good Crust" pizza crust mix and they had it!! I bought two boxes. At the register they had locally grown bagged potatoes, so I grabbed a bag to have with our roast pork. When I am in the area, I will definitely stop by again.

I walked out with Heinz tomato soup and Batchelor beans--a favorite of mine. The main draw is the meat. It is a full service butcher shop, with a specialty of sausage.

If you need dog food, they even have a freezer full of freshly house made meat for your canine friends. The staff is really friendly and super helpful. I use a cane and they have steps that are rather steep. A fellow showed me a side door that had no steps and promised me that it would be open for me whenever I came back. That won me over right then and there. Way to go Waterville!
