New Freezers, More Meat

You may have noticed some changes in our store layout recently. With the purchase of a new chest freezer for our ice cream and frozen desserts, we've been able to expand our meat selection.

We are excited to be stocking new pasture-raised Swabian Hall pork from Such and Such Farm in DeSoto and more bison from Crown Valley.

Read more about Such and Such Farm in this great article, The Little Jefferson County Farm That Sells To Big Restaurants.

In addition to pasture-raised bison meat, you can also f ind Crown Valley ciders, beer, and root beer in store now!

Based in Ste. Genevieve, MO, Crown Valley boasts an expansive winery, brewery, and distillery, pasture-raised bison, an organic farm and greenhouse, and even a tiger sanctuary.
