ground beef, pork chops, chicken and more that hasn’t been overly processed.

Je ries owns a ranch in Otis, Colorado, that has the processing plant right there “so we can control our own destiny,” he explained.

e Butcher’s Hook already provides meat to Switchback Smokehouse, the Wild ower Café and Troutdale Tavern. It can create custom orders to suit all tastes.

“We can accommodate just about anything,” he noted.

e butcher shop is out of what looks like a tiny home, but that helps keep costs down, Je ries said.

“It’s more important to bring in local, fresh food,” he said.

Gains can provide cuts of meat that most people haven’t heard of, but she’s happy to provide the education on how to handle and cook it.

e Butcher’s Hook is open from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Check out o erings at thebutchershook.co or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ eButchersHook.co.

Barber Stop owner looking for volunteers to help homeless

Lisa McCall, the owner of e Barber Stop, is looking for a few good hairdressers and barbers.

Not to work in her shops in downtown Evergreen or Evergreen North, but to volunteer their time to give haircuts to homeless people in downtown Denver. at’s really McCall’s passion, and with more volunteers, more homeless people can be helped.

“We could go out ve to six days a week, but I don’t have manpower to do that,” she explained. “I want to be helping on the streets. at’s where my heart is.”

She’s also looking for volunteers to join her to help with carrying equipment, handing out bags of toiletries and talking with the Denver homeless clients.

McCall has a nonpro t called Haircuts for Hope that not only helps provide haircuts for homeless people here but also helps pay for school for children in Nigeria.

If you have recently moved, you probably have questions...we have the answers and a beautiful bag of gifts, gift certificates and community info for you.

She was recently on a reality show for entrepreneurs called e Blox, though she can’t say much about it since Season 8 hasn’t aired yet.

McCall bought e Barber Stop at the corner of Highway 73 and 74 four years ago when Lee Shortt retired. She took over John’s Barber Shop –now called John’s Barber Stop — in Evergreen North after John retired last year.

“Anyone who wants to come alongside me or even just help out with part of this work, I’d really appreciate it,” she said.

For more information or to volunteer, call 303-674-2257.
