Quality assessment

A BUTCHER AND PURVEYOR, not a ranch — the coordinator's characterisation is exactly right and the site confirms it: 'our processing facility is your custom butcher shop'. The craft is real and the customer gets to choose a production standard, but the standard is a menu of options rather than a farm, and the 'small domestic farms' are never named.

Scale
Mid — one New Jersey facility with national restaurant delivery.
Feed & inputs
UNKNOWN — grass-fed and pasture-raised are offered as options, not as the house standard.
Animal welfare
UNKNOWN — varies by the line a customer orders; nothing published farm-side.
Environmental
Nothing located.
Transparency
MEDIUM — candid about being a purveyor and about what it can supply; silent on which farms supply it.

Caveats

NOT A FARM. The USDA Organic row is the CORRECT legal entity but HANDLING scope — a handler's certificate, not a product organic claim — and scores 0 by gate 3. Named by Eataly at Park MGM.
