Pork For Sale at Clinton Farmers Market

We now have packaged pork for sale by the cut at the Clinton Farmers Market! A couple weeks ago, we took two hogs to Mark's Locker in Rowley, Iowa for processing. There lockers that are closer to us, but we chose Mark's Locker because of the quality of their processing. Mark's locker is a state inspected locker that is owned and operated by Tom Taylor. I first learned about Mark's locker through Tom's son Brad. Brad works for me as a Park Officer at Rock Creek Marina & Campground. When I'm not home on the farm, I work as the director of the Clinton County Conservation Department--but that's another story. We work hard to produce quality pork and we wanted a top notch butcher. The hams, bacon, brats, wieners and sausages from Mark's locker are second to none! In fact, Mark's locker just took first place at the 2011 Iowa State Fair for their smoked hams and third for their cooked brats. Congratulations to Tom Taylor and everyone at Mark's Locker (loud applause)! If you are looking for some truly great pork, come see us at the Clinton Farmers Market. The market is located at Four Squares Park on the corner of Roosevelt and Main Avenue in the Lyon's business district. We are there on Wednesdays from 4 to 6 pm and Saturdays from 8 to noon.

Our freezer is now full of packaged pork to sell at the Clinton, Iowa Farmers Market!
