THE BUTCHER’S BALL IS ABOUT MEAT - THE CHEFS WHO LOVE IT AND THE RANCHERS WHO RAISE IT. With a focus on sustainable ranching practices, The Butcher's Ball brings together Texas's top chefs, butchers, and ranchers for a day of demonstrations, discussions, tastings, and competition at one of the state's most beautiful spots, Rockin' Star Ranch in Brenham, TX, but that's not all The Butcher's Ball is about - it's an incredible celebration of food, drink, music, and art, meant to shine a light on our local culinary and creative communities, bring awareness to sustainable farming and ranching practices, and raise funds for two Texas organizations - Foodways Texas and Urban Harvest.
