It isn’t every day that you’ll discover a butcher shop with owners dedicated to keeping their products as healthy and sustainable as possible. And it definitely isn’t every day you’ll find such a place with a tasty on-site restaurant menu full of delicious meaty options, all of which keep different dietary restrictions in mind.

When it comes to Washington’s meat shops, The Swinery is in a league of its own. And if you like pulled pork and bacon, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

The Swinery is located in the charming West Seattle neighborhood, right on California Avenue.

This eclectic meat shop is so small and unassuming, it might make you wonder if it's worth stopping in. The answer is a resounding yes.
Step inside and you'll find a rather adorable pig theme and a menu of the day's offerings, both cooked and raw.

Pork isn't the only thing on the lineup here (they actually have an award-winning burger on the menu), but it's definitely the main attraction.
The Swinery has been around for quite some time, but it was taken over by current Kim and Danny a few years ago.

Both Kim and Danny love to cook and eat, so this has been a dream come true for both of them.
