About Carlton Farms, Oregon

Have you ever had bacon that has been dry cured the old
fashioned way? How about leaner and healthier pork for the modern diet?
Take a closer look at what’s been happening with pork over the years.
Today, our job is a little bit easier.

Butchers no longer need to”trim the fat” from their pork. Locally
raised hogs are leaner, meeting the health-conscious needs for quality
pork with less fat. Today’s pig yields a pork loin with 77% less fat –
and 53% fewer calories! And at Long’s Meat Market, we have the best cuts
in town. We provide savory pork products from two top Oregon
suppliers:
Carlton Farms & Tails and Trotters

Carlton Farms, an Oregon based pork producer, is known for their high quality handcrafted meats. Need ribs for the grill? Check out our fresh cuts at the meat counter. Ask our butchers if you need a special cut or wrapping.

from their website:
“At Carlton Farms, we are committed to producing only the freshest and finest handcrafted natural
meats. To achieve that, we believe in working with a select team of handpicked local and national
growers who raise animals to our exacting standards. We also believe in the importance of running a
clean, efficient, and humane facility that consistently meets or exceeds USDA standards. And we
believe in a thoughtful, handcrafted approach that doesn’t rely on artificial flavors, colors, or
chemicals.”

Yes, We Carry Exotic Meats

Discover new
tastes of unusual meats for your own enjoyment, nutritional benefits, or
for something different at your next dinner party. Meats such as
buffalo, venison, and rabbit are already popular in Oregon and most of
our exotic meats are raised here in Oregon. Other unusual meats such as
ostrich, emu, veal, seasonal venison and elk, Guinea Foul, quail, and
poussin are becoming better known as they are being purchased with
increasing frequency from our new freezer at our Eugene store. Usually,  most of these meats are in our freezer near the meat counter. Call or email us to check and see if we have what you want in stock.

It’s hot. It’s sizzling! The Summer Barbecue tradition continues every Saturday (closed 4th of July) until Labor Day weekend. Enjoy burgers, hot dogs, chicken and specials with our healthy meats. Saturdays 11am-3pm

 

Wishing you a safe and fun July
