Barber Bros. Meat + Provisions

Barber Bros. Meat & Provisions is a neighborhood butcher shop and market on Ocean Street in South Portland. The counter sells locally sourced beef, pork, chicken, lamb, turkey and sausages, along with deli items and other prepared foods. Shelves carry cheeses, bread, pantry staples and fresh produce from local farms, so one stop can cover dinner and the week's groceries. The shop is run by brothers Jack and Max Barber, who also operate the Mainely Burgers food trucks.

The market occupies a space with a long grocery history, and the owners plan to keep it a local destination for food lovers. Meat packages and custom orders can be requested through the website, which helps with planning larger purchases. The shop is open seven days a week, and a mailing list keeps regulars informed about new products.
