Wells Jenkins & Wells Fresh Meat Market — Local services in Forest City

Best and FRESHEST meat in town, as meat is butchered on site from their own stock, which also means no unnecessary antibiotics since their stock isn't exposed to other herds as those in commercial stock yards are. As close to "organic" meat you can get without the official certification, and the higher price that comes with that certification. They have three options: fresh butcher counter where meat can be cut to order; packaged and refrigerated cuts like briskets or slabs of ribs, etc; and bulk options of frozen packs of hamburger patties, etc. They also offer a wide selection of related items like BBQ sauces and other condiments, bread, eggs, commercial seasoning "shake & bake" style packages, fresh onions and potatoes, soda, etc. Basically, they can be a one stop shop for a planned BBQ, or similar event.

Truth is your paying a 200% markup over Ingles for the atmosphere of the venue. Just...

I drove over an hour ready to spend about $2,000 and they were standing around doing nothing but the guy told me he says I don't have that meat ready but I can get it ready to come back tomorrow and get it. I reminded him. I call and asked they told me that they had everything ready to come and get it so I drove back home an hour without the meat I went after. I'm sure I won't drive back up there again I spent my $2,000...
