I feel bad as I thought I already reviewed this market last summer and was going to update with a…read moresecond thumbs up. So, going back in time to last summer, my better half wanted to purchase quality meat for a men's group (it was his turn to cook). We were in DeMotte to stop at an antique store that he wanted to visit and he saw the sign for this meat market as we drove past- so we decided to stop. Aptly named - yesteryear is correct. It is like one time travels back to a time when butcher shops were where one stopped for meat purchases (not the big box super stores of today). The pace is easy going yet efficient, employees make eye contact, can do proper math and make sure you know your business is valued. We purchased Italian sausage and Polish sausage (enough for him to feed 30 hungry men) - I'm confident he stole the show with best meal ever when he made the sausages with onions and peppers. The owner (Wyatt) went out of his way to help ensure the right quantities were purchased and safely packed for a bit of a drive. We stopped in again a couple days ago - Owner Wyatt took the time to chat with us a bit - he remembered my better half from last year. The genuine customer interest is obvious. Team behind the counter - quick, efficient and friendly. We eyed the steaks (again) - maybe next time. So hard to pass them by - its only a matter of time until we try them. Also - I saw a sign that they do serve lunch specials and also a larger family Easter dinner that included ham. Their Italian beef is a popular party favorite and they have soups in the freezer case which I am pretty certain are made there on the premises. The beef bologna will impress you too - made on the premises - this isn't the prepackaged stuff you see in supermarkets - the flavor will wow you. If this guy can make good ol' beef bologna a showstopper, you know the rest has to be a class act. Also saw pickled Brussel sprouts and some other interesting goods on a shelf plus some large candles right as we came in. Nicely done on so many levels.

Saw this small establishment with a lot of traffic so I stopped in this butcher shop/small grocery and grabbed a pound of ground beef. Amazing flavor, sweet, tender and not greasy at prices actually a bit lower than supermarkets. Then someone urged us to try their marinated pork chops. We hate the stereotype dry fried chops so I approached carefully. Wow! Their marinated pork chops are thick cut and fried up juicy with the tenderness of filet mignon! Thats their concept: high quality and flavor. They also have dozens of frozen meat entrees made by the staff. I now pick up frozen bags of livers, kidneys or other organs for the dogs. They just started carrying fresh frozen tubes of raw meat dog food made in Ft Wayne our two dogs absolutely love. They seem to be specialists in Polish foods, with just about any you could want, again made in house. At the check out they have some local bakery pastries also the highest quality and flavor I've had. We have redirected meat shopping to there exclusively since discovering the place a couple months ago, eating beef again and pork chops ( marinated by them). The grocery part of the store is small compared to a dedicated supermarket but it carries the basic essentials and some large varieties of ethnic or hard to find locally foods which all seem they would enhance meat dinners. If you are anywhere near this (rural) area, stop in this small hole in the wall and treat yourself to flavor you deserve for your money.
