Look for Wheatsville's Own Fresh Sausages in the meat case! Bryan, our meat guy is busting out new homemade sausages. Today, we've got Wheatsville's Own Spicy Lime & Cilnatro Chicken Sausage!

Bryan is also taking special orders for Mary's Organic Turkeys. Please see Bryan or a meat clerk for assistance with these special orders. We'll have more info soon, but these come from the same farm that we've used for the past couple of years and they've been extremely well-received. They're not deep frozen like most turkeys out there. Yes, it's true... Thanksgiving is not that far away!
