I don't eat meat. My family loves meat.
~ Vegetarian Butcher

Meet the vegetarian butcher

My name is Alyson Earney Gilman, and I am a farmer.

I was born and raised in a company town in Iowa and now live and work in rural Cerrillos, New Mexico. In 2002, I met Henry who came with sons. I don't eat meat. My family loves meat. 

We were gifted four hens and a rooster in 2006. 

I want to share stories. I want to tell you how we came to raise chickens and goats and pigs with llamas keeping watch. From the first rooster, the first litter of eleven pigs, the first sweet and lovely goats—reared with kindness and butchered with respect.

Good dogs, dear old hens, stretching fences, shoveling sh*t, burying guts, milking songs, barnyard mishaps, raven neighbors, rainstorms and wildflowers, the peep of baby chicks...

it is a labor of love
that inspires us to live close to our food.

I want to share how perspectives shift when one meets and knows and experiences one's meat. For us, our animals and our land,
​it makes all the difference in the world.

I am a vegetarian butcher and am happy you are here.
