His father owned a meat store with a 12-foot service case and a freezer section. His parents felt Jeff would benefit from working at the meat market instead of running the streets of Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First it was just cleaning around the shop, but by the time he was 15 years old he was breaking down sides of beef and cutting them into steaks and roasts. On Saturdays, his father would take him to the meat market\u2019s kill floor where Ebner learned to skin, gut, and debone steers, pigs, and lambs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m breaking down whole carcasses of meat and making steaks and roasts,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of physical work which I\u2019ve always liked anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he learned how to process and cut meat from his dad and other skilled butchers in several New York City meat markets, his real expertise is customer service. A skill he learned from his mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09051.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photographed by Brooke Snyder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy mother taught me to treat people like you want to be treated, always be nice to everyone, and try to spread sunshine and happiness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1978, Ebner moved down to Florida and built a successful career as a meat trainer and meat manager at Publix Supermarket for nearly 40 years. Now, in the quiet town of Decherd, he needed an outlet for his work ethic and tireless positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I wake up in the morning and my feet hit the ground, the rest of the day is so easy for me,\u201d he said. \u201cThe thought of making a difference in just one life making someone smile excites me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He found work at Mac\u2019s Slaughtering &amp; Processing in Winchester, but it wasn\u2019t long before Decherd\u2019s United Grocery Outlet (UGO) heard of Ebner\u2019s unparalleled workmanship. Since February, Ebner has helped transform UGO\u2019s meat market. A once run-down meat case with a subpar selection of basic cuts now houses a sparkling case of specialty products and quality meats expertly crafted by an NYC-made butcher \u2013 one who is always there to greet customers with a smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-688x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-688x1024.jpg 688w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-202x300.jpg 202w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-768x1143.jpg 768w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-1032x1536.jpg 1032w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-1080x1607.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-980x1459.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040-480x714.jpg 480w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/franklin-county\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/DSC09040.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJeff is a ray of sunshine, and people go into the market to visit him,\u201d Geisen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Geisen is an artist and began painting attention- grabbing signs for Ebner\u2019s market. They are colorful and bold to match the man behind the counter<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cI<\/em>t\u2019s nothing like you\u2019ve ever seen,\u201d Ebner said. \u201cThere\u2019s not a store anywhere with signs like this. The brightness and happiness\u2026 it makes it so unique.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebner\u2019s work is an art form on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJeff knows how to cut every type of meat,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a dying art, and it\u2019s incredible to watch him\u2026 but the people are what motivates him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebner offers pork pinwheels with spinach and cheese, chicken cordon bleu, stuffed peppers, beef pinwheels with mozzarella and Swiss cheese, and more. He prepares seasoned chicken and pork dishes that are ready to cook, and his specialty items have cooking directions right on the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo if the customer is buying something I prepared, I know they are going to be pleased,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His customers frequently ask what to prepare for dinner or how their meat should be cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re walking through a typical grocery store, very rarely will employees say hello to you,\u201d Ebner said. \u201cYou\u2019re throwing food into your cart and figuring out meals the best you can. When a customer comes to my store, someone is there to greet you and help with meal suggestions and preparations.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his time at UGO, Ebner has amassed a growing base of happy customers. Parents will bring their children in to say hello and watch Ebner work through the window. Regular customers will come to visit, get a hug from the local butcher, and chat about their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt United Grocery Outlet, we take care of the customer by building relationships and trust, by building community and serving,\u201d Ebner said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it pays off. He has watched UGO\u2019s business significantly increase. He said he enjoys watching the numbers rise, but that\u2019s not the primary reason he\u2019s there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is my art; I can cut a piece of meat and turn it into something beautiful and nourishing, and I love that,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the thing that excites me more than anything is the customer\u2019s appreciation of my art.
