Happy Halloween Eve!

Looking for something to serve at your Halloween party? We have so much great stuff to satisfy any creature’s cravings. Our beef arrived yesterday and got broken into some beautiful retail cuts! We have some lovely sausages that would make great witch fingers, plenty of ground beef for a Bigfoot meatloaf, and we are breaking a couple of whole lambs! Of course, if you’re just looking for a couple of nice steaks to grill, we have you covered there too! Give us a call or stop in today to check out our cases or to place a Thanksgiving preorder and deposit. See ya!

Sausages are here! Somewhat of a pared-down selection, but delicious nonetheless!

We had a few special orders this week so we don’t have quite as many sausage options as we usually do, but we have some favs and we were able to re-up on our meatball mix! We made about 70 lbs of our meatballs and have them back in the freezer in both 1-pound and 2-pound vacuum-sealed flat packs. Our lovely sausages this week are our Hot Italian and Hot Hungarian! Don’t let the name fool you, the Hot Hungarian is more of a sweet, smoky, and warming link. Packed with two kinds of paprika, tomato, and fun spices like caraway and allspice, it’s super versatile and goes great with all kinds of cabbage or pasta dishes. We also have a bunch of our Hot Italian in links (and a few flat 1-pound packs). Our Hot Italian does live up to its name, and packs a spicy and aromatic punch! Come down today for sandwiches, meat, or to place your Thanksgiving order and deposit. See ya!

You’ve made it halfway through the week and we’re here to get you through the rest of it!

We are finishing our pork breakdown today and the trim you see will be going straight to our sausage for the week! We broke down our retail cuts yesterday along with our chicken, so we are ready with your favorites. Our drumsticks this week are marinated with our beloved chimichurri and would be great on the grill or in the air fryer. We are still stocked up with beef, and have some really pretty chuck roasts and Tri tips that are begging for a rub and roast in the oven. Preorders are still open for Thanksgiving, come in today or call to place your order and deposit. See ya!

Game day and the shop is open and stocked with all of your favorites!

We have a plentiful array of chicken, pork, and beef today. Our chicken wings would make a great post-game bbq, or give our Tri-tips a shot! Tri-tip is a really fun cut off of the sirloin/round of the cow, popular in California for their Santa Maria style bbq. Typically 3-4 lbs, these are a great option for a group or meal prepping! Give one a quick rub and then throw it on the grill, smoker, or in the oven for a steak roast. We also have some new additions to our freezer and retail cooler. Stop by today to see what we have or place your Thanksgiving order and deposit. See ya!

We are restocked on beef!

We finished breaking our two whole cows yesterday and our case is looking pretty! We have all of your favorite cuts back in stock, including beautiful bone-in ribeyes like the ones you see here. We know it’s getting cold, so we have a couple of rump and shank roasts this week to supplement our chuck eye roasts. We still have an abundance of chicken, pork, and sausage, so no matter what you are cooking we have something for you! Give us a call or stop by to see what we have or to place a Thanksgiving order and deposit. See ya!

Breakdown day is upon us, and we have three sausages available this week!

After a little break, our b**r brats are back in the shop! Marjoram, parsley, pickled mustard seeds, and (of course) l***r all come together in this bad boy to make a great addition to any dinner. On the grill or stovetop, throw these on a bun or next to some cabbage and potatoes for an easy dinner. We also have our Sweet Italian and Hot Hungarian ready to take home and enjoy in pasta or aside peppers and onions. We will be busy breaking down two beef today, but that doesn’t mean we can’t stop and chat or help you find something fun to cook up for the weekend. We are still taking preorders for thanksgiving, so stop by or give us a call to reserve your bird and place your deposit. See ya!

10/21/2026

We’re in and grinding our sausage today!

We get in fresh hogs every week, break them down and then get them ready for the grinder. Depending on the sausage, our butcher will send it through different sized dies (typically) once or twice. Once they are finished in the grinder we mix them in huge batches and add our dry and/or wet spices until they are bound and ready for the case or freezer. Our selections rotate every week too to make sure we can keep things fresh and exciting for you all! We typically have either hot or sweet Italian, and the rest is a surprise. We’ll post our sausages tomorrow so make sure to check back in. We are still accepting thanksgiving preorders, so stop in today or give us a call to reserve and place your deposit. See ya!

10/20/2026

We’re shifting into soup mode here at the shop!

We have a couple of new freezer items today and upcoming this week! We are finally restocked on our borscht, made with super velvety beef stock, beef, beets, veggies, dill and more. Very warm and comforting on a cold night, especially topped with some cream. We also have a new batch of our porky baked beans, this time with our house made hot dogs (beanie weenies anyone?). We are also working on getting a kale and sausage white bean soup ready too, so keep an eye out for that one a little later! We will be busy breaking down chickens and hogs today, so those cuts will also be back in our case by the afternoon. Stop by today to check us out or give us a call to have something set aside or for your thanksgiving order and deposit. See ya!

Good morning and happy Sunday!

We are nearing the end of our week but we still have great options at the shop today! We have plenty of hot Hungarian and hot Italian sausages left, great for all of the warm pasta dishes this weather calls for. We are also still stocked up on bone-in chops, chicken breasts, and fun beef cuts like sirloin, ribeye, and short rib! We are going to be working on getting some more freezer options ready so keep an eye out for more Borscht and porky baked beans! We are open for thanksgiving preorders and can take your order and deposit over the phone or in person! Feel free to call us with any questions, see ya!

We have some fun stuff in the works this week at the shop!

Steve made some excellent (and very pretty) head cheese! Our head cheese is made with ham brined pork head, cherries, and currants! These pork is cooked, cooled, and pulled before being mixed with rehydrated fruit and the extra cooking liquid. The cooking liquid is filled with tons of collagen and naturally sets the head cheese into a product we can slice and portion! This is great sliced thin on a charcuterie board or sandwich. We have also been prepping a bunch of beets for another batch of borscht, and we got a lemon vinegar beet pickle we are working on too for our retail coolers. We’re hoping to offer some fun seasonal pickles, so keep an eye out for other fun ones. See ya!
