‘Good Meat’ Has a Great Future at The Spotted Trotter

Perhaps Kevin Ouzts should be known as The Meat Doctor.

After all, he can cure nearly any type of meat…into mouth-watering slices of prosciutto, bresaola, salami, and more.

Kevin and his wife Megan own and operate The Spotted Trotter Charcuterie, a Production and Retail facility in Edgewood, GA. Kevin works daily to perfect his craft of transforming pork, beef, chicken, and duck into products steeped in old-world tradition but infused with local ingredients, which helped them to coin and trademark the phrase, New American Charcuterie™.   

A Truly Grounded Approach to Meat Processing

A Truly Grounded Approach to Meat Processing

One of the newest developments in meat processing is a thousand years old.

Field harvesting is steadily growing in popularity as producers and processors alike recognize this method's advantages in terms of humane animal handling and meat quality. For many ranchers, field harvesting is integral to a “one bad day” approach to animal husbandry… providing the animal with a quality, pasture-raised life, followed by one bad day at harvest time.
