What Marlow & Daughters does

Marlow & Daughters is a single-location whole animal butcher shop and prepared foods retailer operating at 95 Broadway in Brooklyn, NY, open daily from 11am to 7pm. The business was created to supply 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef for the burgers and steaks at Diner restaurant when comparable quality could not be sourced through wholesale channels, and the same animals processed through the shop are now featured across sister restaurants Diner, Marlow & Sons, Roman's, and Achilles Heel within The Marlow Collective. Beyond the core meat program, the storefront carries local, seasonal, organic produce, farmstead cheese, charcuterie, specialty grocery items, naturally leavened bread from sister bakery She Wolf, and a prepared foods counter offering mains, sandwiches, salads, and sauces.

The technical core is craft butchery: breaking down whole animals sourced directly from small family farms in New York State into specialty cuts not typically carried elsewhere, accompanied by in-house production of sausages, smoked and potted meats, pates, rendered fats, bones, stocks, and broths, as well as pet treats. All animals are fully pastured, with beef and lamb grass-fed and grass-finished, pork and chicken given forage access, and no use of growth hormones or preventative antibiotics. Distribution is exclusively through the physical storefront and a drop-off catering operation, with catering orders processed by phone, email, or the Bento online ordering platform; there is no e-commerce delivery channel for retail products.

Revenue derives from three streams: walk-in retail sales of meat, produce, cheese, charcuterie and groceries; ready-to-eat prepared foods sold over the counter; and drop-off catering for corporate events, meetings, and cocktail parties. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, consistent with a small specialty counter operation whose back office is consolidated under The Marlow Collective for shared employee benefits, 401k matching, and group-wide discounts. No public pricing is listed, no revenue is disclosed, and no venture or growth equity capital has been raised.
