Being in the bacon business gives us an opportunity to meet some really great people and such is the case with the folks behind McDonald’s Meats in Clear Lake, Minnesota. Set in a small town just outside of St. Cloud, McDonald’s Meats is worth making a stop if you are headed from the Twin Cities…
My favorite part of scouting out the next great slice of bacon is deciding on which market to visit. My goal during the Holidays was to somehow get to Iowa so we could feature a meat market before the 2014 Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival in Des Moines the first weekend in February. As luck would…
Bernie’s of Port Washington, Wisconsin is surely a destination for meat lovers offering an awesome variety of fresh and smoked meat products including “Old World” favorites. Bernie’s carries a variety of bacon flavors, all applewood smoked. We tried their apple flavored bacon (prepared in apple juice) first and were quite pleased. The apple flavor was just…
Fifield Grocery in Fifield, Wisconsin is another well kept secret grocer and meat market in a small town. Thanks to a relative, I was introduced to some of the best smoked bacon around.
It was a case of mistaken identity. Who would have thought there would be two separately owned butcher shops in the same town with the same name? They even use the same type font for their signage! My travels this week take me to Rochester, MN in search of Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe. For a…

Conveniently located between Minneapolis and St. Cloud, MN, Dehmer’s has been serving the St. Michael’s community since 1928. Dehmer’s is a family owned market offering fresh-cut meats, custom-made bacon and sausage, Boars Head deli meats, deer…
Nestled along Highway 54 as you head into downtown Luxemburg, Wisconsin (home of the only stoplight in Kewaunee County) is Salmon’s Meat Products Inc. Salmon’s processes and sells great meats. My wife’s grandmother worked for a meat processing company, but would often go to Salmon’s for their hot dogs because she liked them so much….
My first introduction to K & R Meats was over 8 years ago during a Minnesota Cattleman’s Farm Tour hosted by the Snake River Cattlemen’s Club out of Mora, MN. We toured their facilities north of Mora on Hwy 65 where they slaughter and butcher livestock for local producers. We didn’t get to see any…
