About Us

In the heart of McKinney, Texas, a place where Southern charm and a love for barbecue merge seamlessly, you'll find a hidden gem known as Cornerstone Farms butchery. What makes this establishment truly special is not just its mouthwatering Texas BBQ beef cuts, but the unique blend of flavors and traditions brought to life by its owner, John Johnson. A native South African with a deep family heritage in cattle, John's journey to success in the world of custom meats is a testament to the power of cultural fusion and dedication.

John's story begins in South Africa, where his family has a long history of cattle ranching. The Johnsons were well-versed in the art of raising and caring for cattle, and this expertise formed the foundation of John's love for food. In South Africa, cattle are a symbol of heritage and a source of pride, and John's connection to this tradition was deeply ingrained in his upbringing.

From South Africa to Texas: A Culinary Journey

John's journey eventually led him to the United States, and it was in McKinney, Texas, that he decided to pay homage to his South African roots while embracing the rich cattle culture of the Lone Star State. He opened the Butchery at Cornerstone Farms, which has become a local favorite and a must-visit destination for anyone with a passion for great food and cultural exploration.

But what truly sets Cornerstone Farms apart is the South African influence. John has infused the offerings with his heritage, offering South African favorites like Boerewors, a traditional sausage with a unique blend of spices and flavors that can't be found anywhere else in the area. These products are a testament to John's commitment to preserving his roots and sharing them with the community.
