Roughly once per year, we get some portion of an animal from a local farmer. Be it a portion of a cow, a couple pigs or lambs, and ultimately need to have it butchered, prepared and wrapped up. CJ's has become the primary place to do this, at least from the folks that we buy from. Every time it's been done, we've gotten a phone call from them and gotten to choose the cuts that we want and how much ground meat we'd like as well. They've always been super helpful with that process, as we are never totally sure what all the options are - but these guys are always friendly and impatient.
It's located just outside of Wapato, a bit out in the country. It's relatively easy to get to, and is easy to get in and out of from the road.
Inside, the set up is very simple. It's a room with a couple of freezers and a checkout desk. They've always got tons of different cuts of meat available, and the service is always quick. Everybody's always very friendly and each time I've been there, I've been in and out within a couple minutes. What you pay, they have you pull around the east side of the building and load things up for you.
It's honestly tough to want to expect much more from these guys. The prices always seem fair, and even with recent inflationary pressures, their prices for preparing the meat seem to be pretty normal.
Give these guys - we are always happy when we do! read more
