Farm 2 Table Direct

Farm 2 Table Direct, long known locally as The Butcher Block, is a small, USDA-inspected meat processor at 2482 Maryland Highway (MD-135) just outside Oakland. It handles slaughter and processing for livestock and poultry. If you raise your own animals in Garrett County, it's a nearby place to get them processed, and it's also a stop for shoppers who want meat cut to order.

Processing and Custom Cuts

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service lists the plant as a very small establishment approved for meat slaughter, meat processing and poultry processing. Farm-processing directories list cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and turkeys among the species handled. Because the work is federally inspected, it can suit farmers who plan to sell their own meat as well as families filling a freezer. Customers have described ordering custom cuts and buying house sausage, brats and smoked bacon at the counter.

A Local Shop With Some History

Under its earlier owners, The Butcher Block was known around Oakland as a meat wholesaler, retailer and custom processor. In 2020 it came under new ownership and was renamed Farm 2 Table Direct, with a focus on free-range, traditionally raised meats. You may still see the Butcher Block name on the building and in some online listings.
