CJ's has become the primary place to do this, at least from the folks that we buy from. Every time it's been done, we've gotten a phone call from them and gotten to choose the cuts that we want and how much ground meat we'd like as well. They've always been super helpful with that process, as we are never totally sure what all the options are - but these guys are always friendly and impatient. It's located just outside of Wapato, a bit out in the country. It's relatively easy to get to, and is easy to get in and out of from the road. Inside, the set up is very simple. It's a room with a couple of freezers and a checkout desk. They've always got tons of different cuts of meat available, and the service is always quick. Everybody's always very friendly and each time I've been there, I've been in and out within a couple minutes. What you pay, they have you pull around the east side of the building and load things up for you. It's honestly tough to want to expect much more from these guys. The prices always seem fair, and even with recent inflationary pressures, their prices for preparing the meat seem to be pretty normal. Give these guys - we are always happy when we do!

You wouldn't imagine that much happens inside of the humble building that is the Matterhorn Meat…read moreshop, but you'd be wrong! This place is awesome! The owner, Fred (Alfred) is a friendly swiss man who must be in his 80's. He has a thick swiss accent, but that only makes sense considering the name of the store! During my discussion with Fred, I found out that he started working with meat in the mid 60's. He started the Matterhorn Meat Shop in 1975 and has been doing it ever since. He told me that he got into the business because he enjoyed doing it, not because of the money! I was excited to try a get a feel for the quality here, so I decided to trying a little bit of several items: Jerky ($16/95/lb): Very good. He keeps it frozen, but it's been great once it's thawed. It's a bit on the thicker side, but I'd get some again. Jerky is always expensive, but this seemed pretty reasonable. Gothaer Zervelat - It's basically a german salami. It's an oblong shape and has a pretty good smoke flavor to it. If you're into salami, try some of this! Knockwurst - I haven't tried it yet, but I'm told that its the swiss version of a hot dog. It looks similar to a brat. Spicy Sausage - A bit milder than I would like, but delicious! Mild Sausage - Delightful! A fairly standard sausage, but worth trying. Landjaeger - Its quite a bit different that the other ones that I've had. Based on my experience here, I can't imagine that this is anything but 100% authentic. They are pretty big, but the flavor is mild and worth trying. Bring cash - I'm not sure if he accepts credit cards or not. I think that his register is the same one that he had in 1975, which is awesome! My only regret is that I didn't discover the Matterhorn Meat Shop earlier. This is undoubtedly on it's way to becoming one of my favorite shops around!

People remember them and line up for the massive cinnamon rolls, hand pies, scones, pies, decorated sugar cookies and other delectables. Oh, and fresh berries! Prices are a bit high, but the quality is definitely there. These are not mass produced, but made in small batches with fresh ingredients and love.

It was super sunny and hot, but we had a great time. The raspberries weren't super sweet in my opinion, but they were fresh and lasted days after. They also have a little store that sells berries products like different berry jams, pies, ice cream, fresh berries, honey, and lemonades. Everyone was very friendly and super welcoming. It's a nice spot for a weekend activity with the family. They also have a stand at the local farmers market on the weekend. I tried their huckleberry cinnamon roll and the raspberry hand pie (forgot pictures), and those were both too sweet for me. However, the traditional cherry pie that I got was perfect.

High quality equals exceptional taste when it comes to the salami and other deli meats. So I'm traveling the Highway of Life and wound up in Cle Elum. Having stopped by on a previous trip I finally had my ice chest with me so today was the day to load up ON THE MEAT ! So I stair at the meat board along with the glass case of meats to decide what I needed. Well, I grabbed some Italian sausage for some grilling action later ( and man those links were tasty ) and a pound of sliced homemade salami. The salami was so delicious was made by a pair of Glondo's own hands to add the love to its taste... The daughter was running the counter like a champion and took care of my order.. She was very charming and offered samples of the flesh & banter which I enjoyed. $50 later and off I went with a bag of flesh goodies for my enjoyment. Folks this is a must when traveling to Eastern Washington. Fresh meat is a must and GLONDO'S should borrow the ARBYS slogan " WE GOT DA MEAT " because they really do have it.
