The company was founded by Greg Brockman, a professional whole animal butcher with 10 years of butchering experience, and Corey Hammond, a Brooklyn local and entrepreneur. Now, Prospect Butcher Co. is up and running full time, selling a wide range of meat and poultry cuts, as well rotisserie chickens, gourmet sandwiches, [charcuterie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-curing-barn), and specialty condiments and seasonings.
