About Us

The Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland (ACBI) represents craft butchers nationwide and plays a vital role in supporting and promoting the craft butcher sector. The Association offers a wide range of services to its members, including training, business mentoring, marketing support, promotional materials, technical and HR assistance, seminars, demonstrations, and seasonal campaigns.

As a registered lobby group, ACBI also advocates for the interests of craft butchers at national and local levels.

ACBI encourages consumers to look for the Craft Butcher logo as a mark of quality, traceability, and traditionally prepared meat. Craft butchers source and prepare meat locally, helping to reduce food miles and promote more sustainable practices. By choosing your local craft butcher, you can enjoy high-quality produce while supporting local economies and sustaining local employment.
