We have a lot of new followers, so I think it’s time for a little “re-intro” to who we are and what we do!
Prairie Center Meats officially started in 2015 when we had some extra chickens to sell after a local market went out of business. Seemed like a great time to take our farm in a new direction and offer meat by the cut. We sold out of the house before joining the Gardner Farmers Market as an outlet. In 2020, we opened our on-farm store and have continued to grow and share our farm since then!
Yes - we have an actual store on the farm. It’s open Saturdays 9-3.
Yes - you can shop online. You can order online for delivery or pick up.
Yes - we do offer quarter/half/whole beef, half/whole pork and whole/half lamb when available plus bundles and subscriptions.
Yes - we know exactly where every meat product comes from. We raise the pork, chicken and lamb and co-op with one other farmer on beef.
Yes - we sell more than just meat. We have products from a variety of local farmers and vendors. You’ll be surprised how many things we have available!
Yes - any question you ask I will completely overthink my response. That’s how you know I care.
We are a family owned business and we do it all - emails, website, poultry processing, etc. There is not a truck to deliver more meat if we run out. We just have to wait for time and nature to get things ready. We have carefully chosen our breeds of livestock to make sure you have the best products possible. So occasionally we have to ask for your patience if we are out of something or if we are slow responding.
Do we love what we do? You betcha! Creating recipes, helping you shop, cleaning eggs, pretty much all of it! Do we love our customers? Absolutely! When you choose to shop with us, you choose to support our family and our dream. We choose to give you our best every week. Do you have other questions? Please ask! We are happy to share about what we do and why we do it. And I haven’t had a chance to overthink anything lately, so I need some practice.
