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!

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!

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!

Happy Friday, we’ve restocked our beef for the week!

We got in two and a half cows yesterday and got it all broken down and ready for your grills, ovens, and stoves just in time for the weekend. We know it’s getting colder so we have been cutting more beef for roasting and braising like short ribs, chuck roasts, and osso buco! Any of these are excellent in the oven or even slow cooker, great options for a weeknight dinner or an easy hands-off option to come home too after weekend festivities. Not sure which option works best for a recipe, or need some inspiration? No problem, our butchers are all excited to help you work through the many options we have to help your dinner be a success. We are also still taking preorders for thanksgiving, so stop in or call today with questions, or to place a preorder and deposit. See ya!

Sausage drop is back with some fun links!

We have some classic sausages back in the case today: Hot Hungarian, Hot Italian, and Parsley Parm. Our Hot Hungarian is smoky, sweet, and a little bit warm. This is great with cabbage and potatoes, or in a pasta red sauce! Our Hot Italian is back this week in links and as frozen 1 Lb packs, for your sausage and pepper dinners or for your lasagna. Finally, our Parsley Parm is back! This is a sausage absolutely jam-packed with fresh parsley, loads of Parmesan, and a spicy & savory dry spice blend. We have these guys in our regular pork links and also frozen in lamb casing pinwheels! Stop in today to pick some up or take a peek at our beef breakdown. We still have some cuts available, but we should be fully restocked with your favorites by tomorrow morning. See ya!

10/14/2026

Pork chops are back today in the shop!

We got in two lovely hogs yesterday and have bone in chops available again! We also have a ton of your other favorite cuts, anyone fancy a pork tenderloin in this dreary weather? Our pork shoulders are also looking great and would make an excellent addition to your dinner as carnitas, pulled pork, or a warm coppa roast! Our chickens are fully broken down too, so we have plenty of whole chickens and marinated drumsticks along with leg quarters and breasts. We will be making our sausage today for our case tomorrow, so keep an eye out and feel free to stop in before our beef comes in tomorrow. See ya!

Warm weather calls for celebration, maybe with some beautiful lamb porterhouse chops?

In addition to our regular offerings, a fresh batch of beef bacon just came off the smoker and will be back in stock on our deli menu soon. We have a little lamb left this week, including a gorgeous bone in lamb leg. We will be getting in two whole hogs and breaking it down today, so your favorite bone in chops will be back in stock soon! If you are looking to take advantage of the sunshine and grill out, we also have a really nice selection of steaks too. Sirloins, strip steaks, ribeyes, and more. Give us a call and stop in today to see what we have or place a thanksgiving order and deposit. See ya!

Rainy Sunday, but we are all smiles and sunshine today at the shop!

We have some beautiful short ribs that are begging to get braised this week, as well as some ribeyes and strip steaks looking for a good home. If you love a roast but don’t necessarily like braising or want something you can slice, consider a steak roast! These are whole muscle roasts that normally would be turned into individual steaks like the Picanha, Ranch, Sirloin, Chuck Eye Steaks, etc. These are a great option if you want easy roasting for maximum tenderness and flavor! We also have a limited selection of sausages, lamb, and chicken left so stop by today if you don’t want to miss out. We are still taking thanksgiving preorders in person or over the phone, give us a call with any questions or to place your order and deposit. See ya!
