About Us

Owning a butcher shop has always been a dream of Michael “Mike” McKeever’s and it is a great fit for his father in-law too, Lawrence “Larry” Russolino, a trained chef, who worked in countless restaurants for over 40 years. The dream became a reality when Mike and Larry teamed up to create Barrington Butchery.

Mike McKeever

Co-founder

Co-founder, Mike Mckeever grew up in his family-owned IGA in Warwick, McKeever’s Market, where he learned the trade from a professional butcher. After the family store was sold, Mike went into retail meat cutting at a large supermarket chain. For over 10 years, Mike strengthened his knife skills and perfected his craft. Mike’s focus is preparing the finest cuts of meat to please his customers. “I am very passionate about this business, and it will be a tribute to my Dad, who passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. I think it is important to get back to basics with food, the freshest meats, the freshest produce, that is what a good meal is all about,” said Mike.
