Looking for opinions on a good butcher in south metro to get sticks made. I love von Hanson s summer sausage but sticks are more useful. Thinking Hagbergs in lake elmo because we love their jalapeño cheese beef sticks but not sure. Been a while since I had the opportunity so wanted to check with you guys. Thanks.
Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad one….. 
Louie’s meats Cumberland Wis… it’s worth the drive!
To amswer the title question….my mouth or my pocket, either one.
For the rest of you querie, Gregs Meats, highway 52 south but north of Cannon Falls. Excellent.
Hometown Meats off of 80th and Cahill in Inver Grove Heights did our sticks last season and they are fantastic! We did use Greg’s Meats in year’s past and we like Hometown better and they are closer. A cleaner building than Greg’s too.
Hometown is little more spendy but taste great.
Von Hansons sticks are great also love the hot and any one of the choices of cheese mixed in. Gregs does a good job also did have some brats from there and they where very taste.
You convinced me. Im heading to Hometown meats.
Lonsdale meat market has done all my processing for years and always dose a good job.
A cleaner building than Greg’s too.
That’s called character in the meat processing business Sharon. A little dirt don’t hurt ya. Look at all the dirt you probably ingested as a child….and then look at who you’ve become today.
Duffs Meats in Hastings
Owens locker in pine island makes the best jerky FYI!
I’m in Princeton and drop stuff off there on the way to Rochester it’s a haul and worth it
I cannot overstate how impressed I am with Hometown Meats. My stuff was done in less than a week and the sticks are the best I have ever had. The ring bologna is exceptional as well. We chose the Spartan sticks which consist of ingredients from several other sticks. Magnificent.
