We’ve got fresh ground free range buffalo back in our racks and our pricing is
about 30% lower than the other local markets. Buffalo is a
popular alternative to ground beef with 70-90% less fat than beef and 50% less
cholesterol. It is also higher in protein, iron and all the omega and
amino acids. Buffalo
burgers, stew, meatballs, or meat loaf can add a different twist to your menu
planning.
Recipe for Luck
The most important element of
Chinese New Year is the reunion dinner which is held on the eve of the New
Year. This is the time when all family members will come for a meal together in
the parents or eldest brother’s home, or nowadays in restaurants as well. The
reunion dinner spread is usually lavish, with multiple courses including dishes
of chicken, pork and fish. Here’s a few Chinese recipes that bring luck and may
be used for the New Year.
Goutie Pot Stickers – Peking Duck –
Beef and Veggie Lettuce Wrap
Locavores Unite
When you buy from Long’s you are buying local, or Oregon-raised, or Northwest
raised healthier meat products. Our two top beef meat suppliers are Knee Deep
Cattle Company for free range grass fed beef, and R&R Ranch for free range
finished with grain- fed beef. For lamb we have used Anderson Ranch lamb products
for years right here in Brownsville. For pork we have a partnership with two
Oregon based companies: Carlton Farms and Tails and Trotters, known for their
hazelnut fed pork). We have ongoing communications with our vendors -ranchers
of sustainable free range and hormone-free animals. We are into our fourth
decade with some of these vendors-one of the reasons that sets us apart from
other retail meat providers.
Meat Packages Becoming More Popular
Our prices are lower than other healthy meat market counters in town and we
offer even more savings with our meat packages program. We have three packages
and lots of options for you to add certain meat products to each package.

Weekly Reminders:
Wine Tasting and Rotisserie Chicken
“Roto Wednesday” is the official name of our rotisserie chicken
day with free range roasted chickens ready to go from 4pm-6pm (and available by
advanced order any day that we are open). Sometime we wax poetic with our Facebook posts….
Avoiding the kitchen?
It might be that kind of day
Enjoy our rotisserie chicken
What else can we say?
Fridays between 4-6pm we have free
wine tasting. Both have increased in popularity as they become a part of our
traditions here at Long’s.
