Free range cattle avoid the cage
and grass fed beef is now the rage
Some meats are better, like some people, when aged

“About Long’s Meat, I couldn’t speak higher of the product– as a runner, it’s incredibly important that we refuel properly. For me, there’s no better meat than Long’s! I can taste and feel the amazing difference in Long’s Meats. It is definitely my go-to pre-workout and post-workout meal of choice.”

Back in the Day – 1927
 |
| Eugene in 1927 |
Long’s legacy begins in Eugene in the year 1927, when Ernest “Butch” Long opened shop on Charnelton Street . His son Melvin worked alongside of his father while receiving a bachelor’s degree in business from the U of O. While many businesses found that the Depression took a fatal toll on them, the new business continued to grow. Melvin took leave from the family business from 1942 to 1946 to serve in the Army Air Corp.
At that time, Long’s Meats became part of the Stanley Market, today known as L&L Marketplace. Melvin took on two partners in the business, Marley Sims and Les Hettick, along with three meat cutters as the business grew. Upon Melvin’s retirement in 1968, Sims and Hettick prepared employee Dick Wooley, who began his career for Long’s in 1959, to eventually operate the business after their retirement. His son and current owner, Mike, worked alongside him, much like the beginning of the business back in ’27 with Butch and Melvin. Dick purchased Long’s in 1976 when Sims and Hettick retired. Dick’s retirement in ’96 gave him 37 years of service in the L&L location. Mike Wooley took over the helm as owner/manager, and the rest is history.
We would like to thank the many hundreds of customers who have continued to purchase meats from us throughout the years and for our vendors who have maintained the highest quality standards in their meat products.
From all of us at Long’s Meat Market,
enjoy a happy and healthy October and Fall season.
