About Us
Founders Marc Rohlsberger and Donald Feiler met while honing their craft in Westchester County's butchery scene. United by their love for the art of meat-cutting, they envisioned bringing exceptional, hand-cut meats and other premium offerings to the community of Litchfield County, Connecticut. Thus, Boardman Bridge Butchers was born.
Our Story: Bridging Past and Present
At Boardman Bridge Butchers, we're not just about cutting meat; we're carving a legacy inspired by the rich tapestry of New Milford's history. The Old Boardman Bridge, an icon of our town's heritage, provides a backdrop to our commitment to tradition and excellence.
Boardman Bridge Butchers is more than a butcher shoppe; it's a nod to the days when craftsmanship and quality mattered. Our name pays homage to the old bridge that once connected our community, and we strive to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity in the way we source, prepare, and present our products.
Marc Rohlsberger
Marc began his butchery journey in the United Kingdom, where he honed his skills in meat cutting over a career spanning more than three decades. In 1992, Marc was recognized as the "Young Butcher of the Year" in the UK, after which he further showcased his expertise by serving Buckingham Palace. After moving to the States in the 90s, Marc has held numerous roles including meat manager for national grocers and esteemed establishments like DeCicco & Sons Markets. His commitment to excellence goes beyond the cutting board, as he diligently monitors and trains teams, instilling the highest standards in meat department operations.
Marc is also passionate about educating customers, ensuring they understand the unmatched quality of the products offered by Boardman Bridge Butchers.
Donald FeIler
With over three decades of expertise, Donald's remarkable story in the world of butchery began in 1989 at the age of 16 in a small Hartsdale, New York butcher shop, where he started with maintenance and cleaning tasks. Donald's passion for butchery ignited, leading him to absorb every bit of knowledge available. In 1994, he expanded his skills in delis, small shops, and supermarkets, notably working as a Meat Manager at Grand Union and A&P. He later contributed to small prime butcher shops before joining Turcos, a gourmet supermarket, where he learned and later specialized in sausage making and meat preparations.
Donald's impact extended to Benny’s Market in the Bronx and Morley’s Irish Market in Yonkers. He later joined DeCicco & Sons Markets where his dedication to quality and innovation thrived. As co-founder of Boardman Bridge Butchers, Donald brings a wealth of experience to elevate the craft of butchery.
