Why to Buy Direct from a Local Slaughterhouse
When it comes to putting high-quality meat on the table, more consumers are turning to local sources—and for good reason. At Pease Packing, we’ve been providing premium meats straight from our hometown of Scotts, Michigan for generations. But what is it, really, that separates us from buying your cuts of meat from the local big box store? Well, we’re taking this month’s blog post to discuss how you can benefit from shopping with your local butcher.
Unmatched Freshness and Quality
Unlike mass-produced, pre-packaged meat that may travel hundreds or even thousands of miles, local meat comes straight from the source. When you buy from Pease Packing, you’re getting meat that’s processed right here in-house, ensuring superior freshness and flavor. Because we oversee every step of the process—from slaughter to processing to packaging—you can trust the quality and handling of your food.
Know Where Your Meat Comes From
Buying direct means you’re not just another customer—you’re part of a community. You can ask questions, learn how your meat was raised and processed, and know exactly what you’re feeding your family. At Pease Packing, transparency is part of our promise. We take pride in working with trusted local farmers and maintaining ethical, humane practices throughout the entire process.
Better Value for Your Dollar
When you cut out the middleman, you often get more for your money. Whether you’re purchasing individual cuts or ordering custom halves and quarters, buying from a local slaughterhouse typically offers better pricing per pound than grocery store meat. You also have the opportunity to choose how your meat is cut and packaged, which adds convenience and reduces waste.
Support for Local Agriculture and Economy
Every dollar spent at a local business like Pease Packing helps strengthen the local economy. It supports nearby farmers, provides jobs, and keeps money circulating in our own Michigan communities. Choosing local isn’t just good for your dinner table—it’s good for your neighbors, too.
Custom Processing and Specialty Products
One of the biggest perks of buying direct is the ability to customize your order. Want a specific roast size, extra-thick steaks, or custom sausage blends? No problem. Our team at Pease Packing is here to provide exactly what you want, including specialty items like smoked meats, hams, jerky, and more.
