Can't Find It - Call Us!!! - I really Mean It!

Today I had all walks of life come into the store looking for that one neat new item.  They were quite amazed at the selection of goods we had on hand, and even more amazed at what we can get - most items (food related), we can have in stock in 24-36 hours.  No matter what you are looking for in the way of food, I am sure we can locate it for you.  So, do not be shy in emailing us, calling us 800-310-2360 or stopping by our store to find that one neat new item.

Some examples of off the wall requests lately:

Miniature Black Angus Beef - Found it - Not available for retail for another few months.

Black Italian Summer Truffles - Found them - Available with in 24 hours and sold by the ounce.

2" thick Beef Marrow Bones (For eating the Marrow) - Found them, available in 3# packages, currently priced at $1.95/#.

Chicken Paws - Found them, available in 20# cases, I understand they make some of the best stock you will ever have and they have a great piece of meat under one toe if you call it that.

Black Bear Steaks - Found them also, avialable within 2 weeks of a paid order.  Whoa, talk about pricey!

Again, if you are looking for that hard to acquire item, call us, we will find it for you.

What's in a Name??

Current and future members of the Venison America family are diligently researching the possibility of a future retail establishment in the Twin City area.  We are currently working on a business plan that will bring our warehouse resources closer to the consumer.  We are looking for ideas from our past, current, and future clients - meaning you.  Our current obstacle is a name for the retail establishment.  Over the next few months we will be looking to our clients for a name, ideas, concepts, product lines, etc.  We encourage you to reply to this posting with ideas for a name for a retail store - some possible options in the store could be:  meat counter with fresh cut meats, prepared products, fresh and frozen packaged products, specialty dry goods, as well as a small area for seating for menu items. We have bounced around the idea to cut wild venison at this location during rifle and bow seasons as well.  Rewards will be given to the top 5 names. 

One last item - our current logo is of a farm scene with our current name Venison America written into the logo - this can be changed quite easily.  The farm logo is a registered trademark of the company.  Good luck.

Suggestion so far:

Specialty Meats - Jerry Judkins - Lakeland, MN

Appledorn Specialty Meats - Steve Loppnow - Owner

Directions

The best way to get to our store is not to google our location - recent construction and renaming of streets surely has messed that up.

From Interstate 94 coming from Monnesota, take exit number 2 - Carmicheal.  Turn left and go back over the freeway and continue on Carmicheal approximately 2.6 miles.  You will pass by The Hudson Country Club, Vine Street, A Big Light Blue Water Tower, Prairie Elementary and The Hudson Middle School, The Glen of Hudson, and finally you will cross over a set of RR Tracks.  At the point of crossing the RR Tracks, the road (Now County Road A) will curve to the right, Venison America will be at the top of that curve on your left hand side.  We are in a brown building with a bright blue metal roof, we are on the right hand side of the building.

From Interstate 94 coming from Riverfalls/Hammond - Take exit #2 - Carmichael - turn right and follow the directions above 2.5 miles.
