Way to go Arcadia PC! Friends, this burger is Iowa beef, harvested and dry aged at an Iowa Locker, skillfully crafted and served at an Iowa eatery. Dry aged ground beef is special.

Today we had our routine 'hi ya' from a state official who inspected and certified our carcass scale again. Meat is sold by weight and it starts with carcass weight. Consider this... when you custom process carcass into tailored cuts suited to your taste, you remove logistics and marketing expenses that increase the cost per pound of your meat! But, you don't know a farmer to buy a portion of carcass from, you say? We can help you with that! www.storycitylocker.com

Instead of grocery shopping for meat this year, try custom processing in 2026! It's a practical goal to add to your new year check list.
