Look no further than this local establishment! All their products are healthy, no rbts, preservatives, etc. It is the only place that I was able to find duck breast prepackaged and sealed. They have french style rack of lamb, boneless and bone in leg of lamb, veal, duck, rabbit, steak, salmon, mahi mahi, etc. if you are looking to host a party or just cook dood from the farm to the table. What better place to buy and support a local business that offers healthy options of meats. The staff was extremely pleasant and took the time to go over their inventory. Very patient and very knowledgeable. There is plenty of parking and the building is beautiful and clean! I can say that you can have your steak and eat it too! (Pun intended!). I will be back for sure!

The meat cooks up moist and tender making for a surprisingly great protein to go with your Sunday sides. Yet, the only drawback to keep me coming back is an open and friendly " how may I help you attitude" or as Jed Clamped would say " Ya'll come back " you hear and mean it. It seems the attitude is business only, but showing a little gesture of courtesy ( kindness )would go a long way toward customer service.

Usually it takes a few months to get your desired products back; in 2024 we received them a few weeks early and this year we received them a little behind schedule. Either way, they are always better than expected and the flavors are amazing! They've always got plenty of in-stock meats to choose from while you're in the store, so be sure to look while you're there to take home something new to try for dinner! Definitely worth the drive from Des Moines!

My parents love getting local meat here, gifting specialty steak cuts for special occasions, and are obsessed with their brisket dip (as am I). We went in over the holidays to pick up a steak gift bundle, snack gift bundle (with cheeses, meats, and other goodies like sauces and pretzels). It was fun to shop the store: fridges and freezers full of cheese and curds, salamis, soups, dips, cuts of meat to take home. They also have a deli counter of fresh local meat for purchase - talk about shopping local! They also carry fun sauces and seasonings for meat - some local, some not. You can also pick up local dairy products here like ice cream and ice cream cakes. I love that they offer gift packages and bundles. Delicious meats and products and it feels great to shop local here!

Yes they do! It's more like several coolers and freezers and a shelf or two in the front lobby area...but it works! Since we were traveling I picked up a couple packs of the cheddar cheese marbled meat sticks, a couple more of the hot pepper cheese marbled meat sticks, beef jerky, and my gf grabbed a package of brats. Reasonable prices and great service there at the counter! I think we've dipped into everything by now and it was all great! My favorite was probably the hot pepper cheese meat sticks, but that's right up my ally!
