About Carroll Meat and Seafood Market!

Jim and Tara Carroll have created, own and operate an old fashion butcher shop and
meat market in Vero Beach, Florida.

With thirty plus years working in the meat department at Publix, Jim’s passion for creativity has turned into a thriving business.

"I started working in the meat department of Publix on Miracle Mile when I was 15, when they were still hanging meat up and you cleaned the blocks with sawdust,"

Jim and Tara using authentic sausage combinations create all kinds of specialty sausages that you can't find anywhere else, like pizza sausage created for kids, green onion sausage with its unique look and wonderful flavor, Merlot Portabella sausage that’s a rave of the town, and a breakfast sausage that’s truly a sausage you’ll keep coming back for. Using all natural whole Boston butts and all natural casings, they create true masterpieces of savory enjoyment. You may find a new creation on your next visit!
