Porter Road is an online butcher shop, connecting the nation with high quality, pasture-raised, hand-cut meat.
While working together in 2010, Porter Road co-founders Chris and James learned how hard it was to consistently get their hands on quality meat from sources they trusted, and knew they couldn't be the only ones looking for a better way.
So, they took matters into our own hands and started a local butcher shop to bring the best local, pasture-raised meat to Nashville. In 2018, we launched rorterroad.com nationwide and are determined to share our delicious and responsibly sourced products with anyone in search of a better way to buy meat.

Elite Daily is a site for and by women who are discovering the world, and themselves in the process. Our writers, like our readers, come at life from a wide range of backgrounds, but we're all eager to learn about the world around us in a way that’s relatable, honest, and fun. But most of all, we’re in search of experiences — the kinds that could change our night, the kinds that could change our mind, and the kinds that could change our life. In the meantime, while we figure out where we stand, we’re here to help each other stand up for our friends, our beliefs, and, most of all, ourselves. And when nothing goes according to plan (does it ever?), we'll be here to laugh along with you.
