Hello out there ! We always publish this blog on the 1st of every month, and since today is April Fools day should we make some jokes? We found some butcher jokes out there on Google but didn’t like any of them.

Our Legacy – A Long Tradition From Charnelton to SouthTowne Shoppes and Facebook
There’s something cool about vintage. To know that a business has been going for over 100 years, and is still family owned. To see the traditions of Old World style artisan meat preparation coming back and enhancing our product choices, and our palettes. This month we are honoring the traditions and time-tested meat preparation methods which are reflected in our goal of providing quality meats both locally and from vintage companies. We also have a legacy that goes back to 1927 on Charnelton St. You can read about that on our web site if you are interested. Here’s some vintage traditions from a few of our artisan meat vendors.
P.G. Molinari is a name that has meant excellence in Italian salami and sausage for over 100 years. Founded in 1896, Molinari & Sons has carried on the traditional Italian art of sausage-making in the cool climate of San Francisco. Through four generations, the Molinari family has provided Americans with the finest in salamis and Italian sausages of all types. As a family-owned business, P.G. Molinari and Sons continues the tradition of quality products and service.
Saag’s Products LLC, a small San Francisco Bay Area manufacturer, maintains the tradition of handcrafted sausages and deli meats first practiced by its founder in 1933 and continued today by artisans who take pride in their work. George Saag set out to create authentic German specialty meats and sausages. Using old-world recipes in a small butcher shop in downtown Oakland, California, he perfected his craft and Saag’s quickly became a local favorite.
Boar’s Head -Family owned for over 100 years
Wishing all of you an awesome April and Spring Season,
from all of us at Long’s Meat Market
