A local slaughterhouse and meat market burned down last week. This may not sound like a big deal to many, but it was one of only two in the state and provided not only jobs for 20 people, but also fresh meats for many local customers and commercial operations. Lots of scrambling going on by businesses to find new sources.
They have an 80 acre farm as well. You could get local grown animals slaughtered there, small farmers and 4H relied on them, and you could buy fresh seasonal meats off the hook.
They also had the most amazing thick cut slab bacon!
I'm hoping the owner decides to rebuild. Sounds like he will. 90 years old. Gotta love him.
