National Butchers Week 2026 Is Almost Here!
National Butchers Week is right around the corner — March 9th through March 15th, 2026 — and here at Coastal Plains Meat Company, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate the craft that drives everything we do.
What Is National Butchers Week?
National Butchers Week is an annual celebration of the skill, knowledge, and craftsmanship that goes into turning quality livestock into the cuts you know and love. Originally established in the UK in 2008, the spirit of this week has grown worldwide — and we're proud to carry that torch right here in Eunice, Louisiana.
It's an opportunity to shine a light on the men and women behind the counter and the cutting floor. The butchers who show up every day with dedication, precision, and a deep respect for the animal and the customer.
Why It Matters to Us
At Coastal Plains, butchery isn't just a job — it's a calling. Our team processes cattle that local ranchers have raised with care, and we take that responsibility seriously. From the moment an animal arrives at our facility to the moment a finished cut leaves our hands, every step matters.
This week is a reminder to celebrate that process and the people who make it possible. Our butchers are veterans, community members, and craftsmen who pour their expertise into every single cut.
How You Can Get Involved
- Visit your local butcher: Skip the big-box store this week and head to your local butcher shop. Ask questions, learn about the cuts, and discover the difference that quality craftsmanship makes.
- Stop by Coastal Plains: Come see our facility in Eunice and meet the team. We love showing folks what real, local beef processing looks like.
- Share the love on social media: Snap a photo of your favorite cut, your dinner plate, or your local butcher at work. Tag us and use #NationalButchersWeek so we can celebrate together.
- Try something new: Ask your butcher to recommend a cut you've never tried before. You might discover your new favorite meal.
- Tell a friend: Spread the word about the importance of supporting local, independent meat processors. Every purchase makes a difference for Louisiana's agricultural economy.
Looking Ahead
As we head into March, we're grateful for every rancher who trusts us with their livestock, every customer who chooses local, and every butcher who takes pride in their work. National Butchers Week isn't just a celebration — it's a reminder of why we do what we do.
From our team in Eunice to your table — thank you for being part of the Coastal Plains family. See y'all next week.
