I bought a ham although not cheap this was the best ham I have ever made. Very little fat and very lean with the smoked taste just perfect and not too much salt. I will buy it again and if this is an example of the meats sold there I will drive from Marshfield any day for more!

Bill Nolechek and I stopped in to get some Pork Chops for dinner on our way back home from Marshfield Clinic. In the fresh meat case were "Center Cut" chops and Boneless Chops. We asked for some of what was signed "Center cut", which were actually loin chops and mixed in were rib chops. Bill asked if she could give us the rib chops. Whoa! The woman working went into a fiery stance to let us know that what they had is what you see and it was either those or boneless.
We don't think she had a clue of these cuts of meat. Lol She gave us 2 loin chops and 2 rib chops and they were very good. Kinda fun to go meat shopping with someone who knows their stuff and the help doesn't.

Very nice and clean. Prices are competitive. Everything was perfectly cut and laid out for viewing. Staff was excellent, very helpful, patient, and informative. I will be making this my weekly meat market for all of my meats, cheeses, sausages and other specialties like sauces and spices.
