and the cooler weather is calling for more soups and meat recipes to savor and enjoy. The coming of fall usually represents a period of slowing down. We are getting ready for a “speeding up” of customer orders and increased demand for our freshly cut and sustainable raised meat products. Some have said that we have a European-type atmosphere – an old fashioned, vintage, traditional butcher shop. Add in our commitment to healthier and sustainable meat products at reasonable prices, and we think we have a good recipe here. Let’s celebrate the changing of the seasons with hope, positive vibes for a better U.S. and world economy, and a winning season for the Ducks!
We are proud to carry Mycological Natural Products based here in Eugene. Mycological is the premier source for fresh and dried wild mushrooms gathered from pristine mountain rainforests in the rugged terrain of the Pacific Northwest. Since their continued efforts are dependent on the implementation of sustainable forest management policies and practices, they pledge 50 percent of net profits to forest conservation. We also carry their Terra Dolce imported organic Aji Amarillo Peruvian Chile Peppers. Try these chiles with this recipe (Andy’s Spicy Green Chile Pork) with 2.5 lbs of our Pork Shoulder Roast fresh cut here and sustainable raised by our supplier. Prep time: 10 min. Slow Cook 8 hrs on low. Feeds 8.

Spicy Spaghetti with Mega Meatballs – Another Great Recipe
A customer provided this and told us that it was the best meatball recipe that she has had. She changed it a bit and used panko vs bread crumbs and no bell peppers. Of course she used our pork and beef. Here’s the link to this great recipe by Sunny Anderson on Food Network.com : Mega Meatballs (with Long’s pork and beef 🙂
