Dutchman’s Market is a locally owned and operated USDA
Inspected Meat Plant. It was purchased in November, 1986,
by the present owners. There are 3 generations represented,
with 12 other employees full or part-time at this time.
butcher every other week. We keep schedules for all your butchering needs, but
we are usually about a month and a half out. We usually schedule 18-20 head
of cattle, any number of hogs, sheep, and goats each time we butcher. During
the rest of the time, we also butcher exotics, beef, and lambs for resale. These
are customers that have gone through the rigorous process of creating and
having their labels critiqued by USDA in order to label each package.
We became incorporated in September, 1994. This facility was a State Inspected
plant at the time of purchase. The owners opted to change the inspection to a
Federally Inspected Plant. Therefore, we are duly granted inspection for
butchering and processing beef, pork, sheep, goat, and poultry. We do, however
not deal in poultry. There is a slaughter floor, a processing room, and a retail
area on premise.
We serve any number of restaurants with meats, basically hamburger, beef
tenderloins, and sausages. Many civic organizations use our products for their
fundraisers. We do many orders for wedding receptions, cook-offs, graduation
or anniversary occasions, project graduation fundraisers, many other school
organizations, volunteer Fire Depts., Churches, and family gatherings.
The retail area has a large selection of red meats available fresh daily. Our
meats are not pre-packaged—we wrap each order in freezer paper and in
butcher paper as it is ordered. We do keep a number of products in the freezer,
such as hamburger for your convenience, all our chicken products, and most
of the specialty products that don’t sell on a regular basis.
We try and keep a full line of meat condiments. We also mix spices for all
your sausage making projects. We have a complete line of casings, spices,
boneless beef and boneless pork (all fresh – never frozen) for your sausage
making needs. We will weigh out the exact weights of meat and spices for
your recipe.
The fresh meat counter contains chuck roasts, round steaks, ground chuck,
sirloin steaks, t-bone steaks, new york steaks, rump or pikes peak roast, ribeye
steaks, spareribs, pork chops, and pork roasts. Roasts are cut 2” thick, most
steaks are 1”, and chops are 1�2” or 3�4”. We will, however, cut any thickness
for the steaks or chops, with prior notice. Hamburger is packaged as requested.
Roasts can be cut in half if needed. Just ask and we will try to please.
Our special holiday store hours will always be posted on our door for weeks
before the occasion. Our regular hours are 8 to 5:30 Monday thru Friday and
8 to l on Saturdays.
Stop in and ask for our “shopping list”—it lists most of the products we have
available or can get on a special order.
We receive meats four times a week. Our suppliers are well aware of the
products we will accept—the truck temperature is recorded and must be within
the guidelines we have set for suppliers. We do not accept meat boxes that are
not in exceptional condition. We do not accept
an order if it was packed more than 5 to 7
days prior to delivery. The product must be
fresh in order for us to use it fresh.
We offer a variety of sandwiches, made
fresh daily. We have Ham & Cheese,
Turkey & Cheese, Bar-b-que, Sausage,
and the DM Club. We make party trays of
meats and cheeses for all your party needs,
for 10 to 100 people.
We make dry sausage, hard salami, beef
jerky, turkey jerky, pork jerky, fresh sausage,
smoked sausage, summer sausage, and German
products such as blood sausage, liver sausage, and headcheese.
We carry many cheeses and make any number of smoked and cured
items such as bacon, old fashion ham, ready to eat ham, and bone in ham.
There are bacon ends, ham ends, smoked rinds, and much more.
Being at the mercy of the rendering companies and the inspection service, we
