Logan Yarbrough

Logan Yarbrough is the Butchery Plant Manager at Stone Barns Center. He has always had a powerful attraction to the food system. When Logan was younger, his goal was to be a chef. However, he was a bit high-strung with no discipline, so he joined the military. After serving eight years and multiple combat tours in the Middle East, Logan retired and rediscovered his culinary passion. While attending school for agriculture, he took a job at a local butcher shop in his hometown of Ithaca, New York. There he enjoyed working as a butcher, finding pleasure in both the craft and the ability to provide sustainably raised meat for his community.

Since beginning his butchery journey, Logan has held multiple positions in the meat industry, including owning his own goat farm. While that experience was short-lived, it was the driving force behind his decision to remain in the meat processing industry. Logan noticed many inadequacies and problems in meat processing that affect local farmers and the food system, and he is excited to join the Meat Processing Center and help build the meat counter of the future.
