Lakeland, Minnesota, on the St. Croix
Prime grade in the case. A Jordan behind the counter.
Midwest-raised beef, local Duroc pork, hormone-free chicken, deli sandwiches made to order and wild game done right. On St. Croix Trail since 1998.
What goes in our case, and what doesn't.
Tony has cut meat for more than 45 years. The rule hasn't changed: if he wouldn't take it home, it doesn't get sold here.
Prime and Certified Angus.
Every steak in our case is Prime or Certified Angus. We never carry Select, so there's no guessing at the counter.
Raised in the Midwest.
Our beef is raised in the Midwest, most of it in southern Minnesota. Our pork is raised locally.
Duroc pork.
A heritage breed known for its marbling, raised locally. It's why the chops and the brats taste the way they do.
Chicken raised without hormones.
Hormone-free, held to the same bar as everything else here. Nothing but the best is a standard, not a slogan.
One counter. Seven ways to use it.
Lunch, dinner, the week's groceries, a party, a freezer, a deer. Bring us any of it.
The LJ, hot beef, French dip, Italian bistro. Made to order, piled the way a meat market can afford to pile it.
Company lunches, crew feeds, graduation parties. Cooked at the shop, delivered hot, built with Tony.
Hot broasted chicken, made here, ready to grab on the way home. Dinner without the cooking.
Bring us your boneless trim and leave with summer sausage, snack sticks and jerky.
Meat and cheese, built for the table.
Fill the freezer for less per pound.
Staples, baked goods, ice cream, and local sweet corn in season.
The sandwich board.
Deli meat sliced off the same case we sell from, on fresh bread, with your pick of cheese. People drive across the bridge for these.
Also on the board: beef brisket, Italian meatball, BBQ and Cajun pulled pork, salami combo and the royal pastrami. Broasted chicken too, when you want dinner instead.
As seen on TV
Twin Cities Live came out to the shop.
Twin Cities Live brought a camera into the market and let Tony walk them through it: the case, the house-made sausage, and the sandwich board.
Five minutes is a better tour than anything we could write here. Worth a watch before your first trip in.
Forty-five years at the block. Still behind the counter.
Tony Jordan has been cutting meat for more than 45 years, and he opened this market on St. Croix Trail in 1998. He's still the one you'll see behind the counter.
The sausage, brats, snack sticks and jerky are made here with our own seasoning. The case holds Prime and Certified Angus beef, local Duroc pork and hormone-free chicken, and nothing graded Select.
Independently owned, still. No buying group deciding what goes in the case, no corporate spec sheet. If you want something cut a particular way, or a sausage seasoned a particular way, ask.
Catering that shows up hot.
Office lunches, crew feeds, graduation parties, a funeral lunch at church. Tell Tony the headcount and the date; he'll build the menu with you and cook it at the shop.
- Hot and ready to serve. Brats and buns, pulled pork, hot beef, hot German potatoes, cucumber salad, the sides that go with them.
- Box lunches and party trays for the days you'd rather set it and forget it.
- Prime cuts for the grill when you'd rather cook it yourself and just want the good meat.
Hunting season, handled.
We don't process whole animals. Bring us your boneless trim from venison, bear, elk, goose or pheasant, and we'll turn it into summer sausage, snack sticks, brats, jerky and more. No appointment, just stop in.
Meat packs for the freezer.
Prime and Certified Angus beef, Duroc pork and chicken bundled, wrapped and labeled, at a better price per pound than buying it cut by cut. Pick a pack, or tell us what your family actually eats and we'll build one.
