Meat
Your angus beef is awesome! It has a much better taste and texture than others.

Butcher Shop Quality
When you visit the Market Place Meat Department you'll find freshness and quality.
Some stores bring in meat items that are already packaged to go. You'll never find that at the Market Place. Our meat department cuts and grinds fresh meat everyday so you'll never find preservatives in our meat.
All of our butchers have been in their field for over 10 years; with a combined experience of 100 years total!
Ask them your questions... they're experts! At the Market Place we serve you the best quality, leanest cuts of meat, for the best price.
Experience says it all...
Ron, our Meat manager has been working in his field for 40 years. Right out of high school he began working in the meat department at a grocery store in Farmington, MO where he became the Meat Department manager at the age of 20. He later moved on to the Piggly Wiggly for five years then joined The Market Place when the doors opened in 1988. "We strive to keep things fresh. We offer a good product at the cheapest price possible. I have a good crew that try to follow suit behind me. We try to keep a good variety of specialty meats. Everything is hands on: handcut or hand-made," says Ron.
What do you do when you are not in the Meat Department?
"Horses" Ron has 15 horses at home where he enjoys riding and training them for competition. His love for horses began when he was six years old and has grown stronger since. When he goes out on trailrides Ron enjoys cooking steaks for everyone.
What is Ron's Favorite product?
"I'm a steak eater. I base in butter and garlic salt and cook medium-rare" You don't need marinade to cook a great steak just cook it right - medium rare.
Ok... so you're not a gourmet cook or maybe you just don't have time. The Market Place Meat Department makes cooking easy with a variety of specialities ready to go.
