In November 2014, award-winning Chef Hosea Rosenberg evolved his esteemed Boulder, CO catering business, with a food truck and farm, into a long awaited, brick-and-mortar restaurant, Blackbelly. The eatery was quickly identified as a Boulder essential, and elite dining destination in Colorado. Its immediate popularity triggered an expansion just over a year later, with Blackbelly Butcher and Market: Boulder's only whole animal, artisanal butcher shop and first independent retailer licensed to make and sell its own cured and fermented meats. The shop also offers an expansive selection of house-made provisions as well as breakfast and lunch daily.
