Bread and Butter Beef Available Soon!
For those of you who caught our sneak preview of the Bread and Butter beef options last week and everyone else who might be wondering about different Grass-fed beef options here’s the scoop.
During the past few years we at the Meat Department have been working to develop relationships with farms around the state. We have had the pleasure of doing so with Bread and Butter Farm who, in the upcoming months, will be supplying us with their delicious beef. These cows are a mix of Brown Swiss and Angus and are 100% grass fed. They roam over the nearly 100 acres of prime grazing land that Bread and Butter has to offer, resulting in some amazing grass fed beef. Stop by Bread and Butter on Friday nights from 4-7 for Burger Night and taste the difference! And stop by the Meat Department in the upcoming months to try your favorite cuts of beef done up right by our meat cutting team.

The biggest point of pride we have in the Meat Department is working with local livestock that is pasture raised and free of antibiotics and hormones. We’d like to see a test-tube steak stand up against a Jericho Settlers Farm Rib-eye or a Hardwick NY Strip.
We’d love for you to stop by the Meat Department with any questions you may have about any of the products that we carry and if you have further questions we’d love to connect you to our local farmers!

Farmer’s Profile: Adams Turkey Farm
We recently asked Adams Turkey Farm a few questions about what inspires them to do the work they do. Here’s what they had to say.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU EVERYDAY?
One major inspiration comes from positive customer satisfaction with our products. It is our goal to do the best job we can to produce a top quality product. We really enjoy, look forward to, and are inspired by the positive comments we receive. After farming since 1981 we recognize our diversification can be a big source of inspiration. It has allowed us to realize many opportunities as a family operated farm now and for the future.
