About Us
Since 1971 How we started
Family owned business serving Baltimore with the best quality foods in the area.
We’ve always specialized in fresh seafood, local produce, butcher cut meats as well as our famous scratch deli and bakery. Focusing on the perishable departments has set us apart from the big box chains. Carl, our founder always said “anyone can sell groceries, we’ll provide the best quality fresh foods for our community” Now over 50 years later, our 3 local markets have been a staple in Baltimore. For three generations we’ve been known as the place to go for not only perishables but all the best Maryland specialties.
Shop Where The Locals Shop!
Over the years our markets have been the recipient of many accolades and awards. Recently winning Best Local Grocery Store, Best Local Seafood, Best Fresh Produce, Best Scratch Bakery and of course…Best Butcher Cut Meats!
Our deli departments attract locals from far and wide to stock up on homemade Maryland favorites like our famous crab cakes, jumbo shrimp salad and crab pretzels.
While understanding that quality and freshness are the most important factors when purchasing perishables for your family…We’ve been lucky to make great connections with local farmers, and local watermen throughout the years. This allowed us to build a reputation as carrying only the finest quality meats & seafood, as well as providing the best prices in the area.
NOW WE’VE COME FULL CIRCLE!
In the 1970’s Carl dreamt up this crazy idea of a small concept butcher shop specializing in LOCAL hand cut meats for the community and shortly after, this idea…BECAME A REALITY!
Carl and his partner proudly opened “The Little Butcher Boy” on York Road in Cockeysville.
He always had a passion for the fine art of butchering, centering his business concept around the meat departments.
Butchers possess special skills that are hard to learn and especially master.
At Butcher & Bay, we vowel to honor the legacy of Carl and his vision to provide Baltimore County with only the best top quality LOCAL meats and seafood.
