Thank you Google! We just noticed that we have received some recognition from Google in the form of how they display our web site pages on a search result page for “Eugene Oregon Meat Market”. It shows the eight main pages of our web site. Maybe our webmaster knows a few tricks. Take a peek >

Ribs on the BarBie
July is a great month for putting RIBS on the Barbie. Our ribs are some of the best in Oregon and come from sustainable and socially responsible vendors. The Ribs are all-natural and thick with meat, full of flavor, and the perfect match for your favorite barbecue sauce.

Parking Lot BarBq Sizzles
Our weekly Saturday parking lot BarBQ will be continuing in July every Saturday except on the 23rd. Scott Wooley will be cooking up hot dogs, hamburgers, half chickens and ribs from 11am – 3pm, all at reasonable prices! Craft beers and Oregon wines are also available at our deli. We are participating in the Winetasia fund raiser on Saturday, July 23, 2011 at 6 p.m. Join us at Silvan Ridge/Hinman Vineyards for evening of wine, food and fun.

The Whole Hog – Planning a Luau?
Tis the season for luaus and every year we get orders for hogs. We can get 40-100lb hogs and need to have a ten day lead time for ordering. Read about cooking a Kalua Pig in a pit. (That’s Kalua, not Kahlua). Pricing can be found here on our website.

Wine Tasting Thursday Nights
Wow! We had a great turnout at our Wine Tasting in June. Seventeen folks showed up and enjoyed the wine and cheese sampling. Thanks to Kaila and Keith who will be doing it again the third Thursday of July (21st) and each month at 7:00 p.m. Kaila Nicols shares four wines with critique and Keith Ellis pairs cheeses with each.( $10.00 per class)
Friday Night Free Wine Tastings
Due to popular demand we are continuing to offer free wine tasting every Friday night from 4pm to 6pm. We offer a large selection of both local, regional, and imported wines in our deli, as well as a great selection of Oregon craft cheeses and imports. Our dried meats include Boar’s Head products, Knee Deep Cattle Company beef jerky, and other select products.
