M.F. Dulock in Somerville Has Been Sold, Is Being Replaced by Highland Butcher Shop

A neighborhood butcher shop in Somerville that has been in business for more than 10 years has been sold and is reopening with a new owner and a new name.

According to an Instagram post, M.F. Dulock on Highland Avenue is closing and being replaced by Highland Butcher Shop, with Michael Dulock saying the following in the post:

Since 2012, MF Dulock has set the standard for fresh local meat and the time has come to pass that torch to a new owner. I'm pleased to announce that the shop has been sold to Shannon Largey and will operate going forward under the name Highland Butcher Shop. The shop will be closed for a few weeks while Shannon gets her permits from the city. It is my hope that you will put your trust in Shannon for your local meat needs. Beginning later this week I will be handing this account over to Shannon so there is no need to follow a new account....You will be happy to know that Sam has decided to stay on board to work with Shannon. As for me, I will be at the new shop on Saturdays through the holidays.

M.F. Dulock has been known as a place to go for locally-sourced pasture-raised meats.

The address for M.F. Dulock (and Highland Butcher Shop) is 201A Highland Ave, Somerville, MA 02143.

[November 14 update: An Instagram post indicates that Highland Butcher Shop soft-opened over the weekend.]

Bianco & Sons Sausage Closes Its Outlet at Hub Hall in Boston's North Station Area

A Medford-based meat manufacturer has closed its dining spot within a Boston food hall.

According to a source, Bianco & Sons Sausage is no longer in operation at Hub Hall by North Station, though its production facility and retail shop on Brainard Avenue in Medford remains in operation. Its Boston outlet first opened last September along with Hub Hall itself, which is home to approximately 15 food and drink spots.

In addition to its retail shop in Medford, products from Bianco & Sons Sausage can also be found in a number of supermarkets in the Greater Boston area and elsewhere in New England. The website for Bianco & Sons Sausage is at https://biancosausage.com/
