Why Woods View Butchering
Where Time-Honored Traditions Create Superior Meat
The Woods View Difference: Five Generations of Know-How
At Woods View Butchering, Amos and Sadie Kauffman don’t just process meat—they honor it. Using methods passed down through generations of Amish butchers, every cut is handled with the care and precision that comes from a lifetime of dedication to the craft.
Unlike industrial processing plants that rush thousands of animals through assembly lines, we take our time. Each animal is treated with respect. Each cut is made by hand. Each package reflects our commitment to excellence.
This is butchering the way it was meant to be done.
Why Families Trust Amish Butchering
Hand-Cut Precision
No machines racing against quotas. Amos personally oversees every cut, ensuring optimal marbling, proper aging, and cuts tailored exactly to your specifications. This is craftsmanship you can taste
Honest Pricing, Better Value
Without corporate overhead, franchises, or middlemen, we pass the savings directly to you. Get premium, hand-crafted cuts at prices that beat grocery stores—and the quality isn't even comparable.
Community-Rooted Quality
We source from neighboring Amish and Mennonite farmers who raise their animals naturally—on pasture, without growth hormones, the way God intended. You'll know your farmer's name, not just a corporate logo.

Our Plain community values honesty above profit. When Amos gives you his word on weight, quality, or processing, you can trust it completely. Our reputation is built on generations of keeping promises.
Superior Aging & Curing
Sadie's smoke house produces bacon, ham, and sausages using recipes from the old country—no shortcuts, no artificial smoke flavoring. Just hardwood, time, and tradition.
