About Down the Road

Down the Road Butchery is owned and operated by Greg Hangac, a lifelong butcher, and proud member of the Hudson Valley community. Since opening the shop in 2017, Greg has built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, exceptional yields, and treating every customer and every animal with the respect they deserve. Whether he's processing a hunter's deer, harvesting livestock on the farm, or custom cutting locally raised beef and pork, his mission is simple: provide families with clean, high-quality protein from sources they can trust.

​

Growing up in a hunting family, Greg learned at a young age that filling the freezer wasn't just a tradition, it was an important way his family put food on the table throughout the year. That experience sparked a lifelong passion for butchery and a deep appreciation for knowing exactly where your food comes from. After spending years mastering the trade and learning every aspect of meat processing, he founded Down the Road Butchery with a commitment to humane animal handling, honest work, and treating every customer with the kindness and respect he felt the industry was missing.

​

Today, Down the Road Butchery proudly serves hunters, hobby farmers, and families across the Hudson Valley through wild game processing, humane on-site slaughter, USDA co-packing, and custom-cut beef and Berkshire pork sourced exclusively from Autumn's Harvest, a regenerative farm in New York's Finger Lakes. Every service shares the same purpose: bridging the gap between the field, local farms, and the family dinner table.
