Greetings from all of us at Long’s Meat Market. We wish you a great July, especially celebrating the 4th. With summer finally kicking in the main keywords that we may be thinking of are fun, picnics, road trips, grilling, concerts, cycling, water sports, walks jogs, Country Fair, summer events, and cold beer. We can help with three of these – picnics, grilling, and cold beer.We have plenty of Oregon free range steaks, pork, lamb, and chicken all ready for the grill during this hot month. Our motto is,”Long’s brings ranch and community to one meeting place’.“

Roto Wednesday Chickens Getting More Popular
These are not your typical rotisserie chickens that you see at other local markets. They average five pounds and are heavy compared to an average of three pounds elsewhere. We only use Ranger chickens -this is one of our favorite sources for free range chicken. Draper’s poultry is five days fresher than many other brands, never exposed to antibiotics or hormones at any time, and fed a vegetarian diet of corn, soy, and vitamins. The chickens run free in a spacious, open air barn with plenty of natural sunlight , fresh air, clean water and feed. Taste the difference! Free range, hormone free, and delicious. Ready to go on Wednesdays at 4-6pm, or call in for a special order and we will
roast one for you to pick up during business hours.
Food for Thought
Meat Based Diet Made Us Smarter
Our earliest ancestors ate their food raw — fruit, leaves, maybe some nuts. When they ventured down onto land, they added things like underground tubers, roots and berries. It wasn’t a very high-calorie diet, so to get the energy you needed, you had to eat a lot and have a big gut to digest it all. But having a big gut has its drawbacks. “You can’t have a large brain and big guts at the same time,” explains Leslie Aiello, an anthropologist and director of the Wenner-Gren Foundation in New York City, which funds research on evolution. Digestion, she says, was the energy-hog of our primate ancestor’s body. The brain was the poor stepsister who got the leftovers. Until, that is, we discovered meat. Full story >
