Herbivorous Butcher's Owners Vow to Rebuild After Fire Closes Nation's First Vegan Butcher Shop
Briefly

The Herbivorous Butcher, the first vegan butcher shop in the U.S., experienced significant fire damage on May 13. No injuries occurred, thanks to timely firefighter response. The shop has temporarily closed, intending to relocate some operations to J. Selby's in St. Paul while assessing the damage. Despite the setback, owners Aubry and Kale Walch are optimistic about reopening and have raised over $16,000 in community support. The cause of the fire is under investigation and began in the kitchen ceiling; however, much kitchen equipment remains intact, preserving their unique offerings of vegan meats and cheeses.
This shop has always been more than just a business - it's a space we built with love for our team, our customers, and our community.
We're deeply thankful for the outpouring of love and support we've received. Every donation, every share, every kind message - it means more than we can say.
