Which one?  I've been trying them all around the cloud.  Just had Elk burgers from McDonald's Clear lake last week and Bison tonight.

i've lived in Richmond and now cold spring all my life. my brother ordered a half of beef from this place called Homegrown meats , had never heard of it. know why now, when i picked it up it was established in 2020.  its just south of browns lake at the intersection of 22 and cty rd 43.  nice little place.

 

he called both Plantenbergs and breagelmans in Richmond........they are 6 months out. Breagelmans actually referred my brother to this place.  he said it was cheaper also!!!!!

 

i'll be taking some venny trimmings to Mcdonalds in 2 weeks for summer sausage and sticks!!!!!

 

plantenbergs will get the rest for bologna and hot dogs!!!!! you cant eat other bologna or weiners once you've had theirs!  mcdonalds SS and sticks are also topof the line as far as i'm concerned!

Just made Minnesota style summer sausage (blueberries wild rice and honey) for thew first time today.

I'm game to try anything but yeah, I'm not into a lot of fruit or sweety meats.  Plus we made our one trip a year down to the Big yellow candy store already this year.

We actually hardly buy any of the candy, but they have so much other good stuff like the Pies, apple bread, canned and jar pickled stuff, hot sauces etc.

Yep. The recipe is good, no reason to change it.

I was at Bongards on Saturday with a guy from N Dakota. He spent like 90 bucks and couldnt believe how cheap it was. I dont know who makes their horseradish pickles but they are delicious. Got some ghost pepper cheese slices that were way hotter then I was expecting.

[smurfy]

Ribeye and sirlion tip steak from the new place.  I'm impressed. 

[smurfy]

Fired up the grill, first time in a while. 

[smurfy]

Chicken patties!

[smurfy]

Grilled chicken, with hickory chips added for good measure.
