MAY 28-JUNE 3, 2023 Calling all Grill Masters Calling all Grill Masters Barbecue season is officially here in Northwest Arkansas, and you'll want to get ready with a trip to Richard's Meat Market in Fayetteville. For nearly 30 years, Richard's has been the place to go for the best selection of prime cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal, sausage, seafood and more. So when you're ready to fire up the grill or smoker, a trip to this iconic butcher counter should be first on your list. Quality and Variety Shopping at Richard's will make you never want to buy mass-market grocery chain meat and seafood again. There is no comparison when it comes to the quality you will find here. Instead of shrink-wrapped packaging, you get fresh, high-quality meats that are cut to order, raised ethically, and often locally sourced. Their large glass cases display a truly impressive selection of anything your grill master heart desires: ribs, chicken, prime cuts of beef, shish kebabs, and endless varieties of Italian sausage, bratwurst and more … all ready to turn into barbecue masterpieces. The market's freshly ground seasoned burgers—including a bison burger—are customer favorites, and perfect for the grill. You'll also find classic bacon- wrapped tenderloin filets. They also offer 5-6 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish on any given day, along with an impressive selection of frozen fish. You'll also find a wide range of items you just won't find at the supermarket. Quail, duck, gator tail meat, lamb and veal are available here. Plus, they have a variety of hard-to-find deli items like liverwurst and pimento loaf. They also have soup bones for creating steaming bowls of goodness, or for giving to your canine friend. Stock Your Freezer Richard's Country Meat Market also offers freezer bundles – a great way to have top-quality meat on hand for all your summer barbecues, while saving money and time. "We've been selling a lot of our freezer bundles because people want to load up," McGinnis said. "We have five different bundles to choose from: Variety Bundle, Steak Bundle, Smoker Bundle, Deluxe Bundle and Richard's Special, plus 20-pound and 40-pound frozen packs of ground beef." The prices for the bundles vary week-to-week. Customer Service Owner Richard McGinnis has dedicated his adult life to providing superior meats and customer service.
