Janelle Rader

Our roots in good food run deep. For Janelle, butchering is a family tradition, with generations of experience in butchery, smoking, grilling, and more.

Janelle and her husband, Shaw, are inspired by the incredible cooks in the family to bring people together through food. And, as they bring up the next generation with their four boys, they look forward to building on that legacy of family values right here in Ashland, Ohio.

Rockin’ R is more than just a butcher shop. We want Rockin’ R to be a place where you feel at home. We’re here to share our passion for quality meat and create a welcoming space for everyone. Come on in, say hi, and and become part of the Rockin’ R family!

Why the Rockin’ R?

The “Rockin’ R” in our logo represents the Rader and Rohr families, the heart of our meat market. This unique mark was originally brought back from the West by our beloved family patriarch and has become a meaningful symbol representing our shared heritage and commitment to quality.
