Salami-Powered Guitar Solos, (aka Big Times in a Small Town)
It's been a busy week here in Saxapahaw. School is back in after the winter break, so mornings and afternoons are wild. It's always a lot of fun to see kids reactions when we are hauling in whole pigs and beef. Some part of me thinks that seeing that will forever give kids the correct impression of what a butcher shop should be. Some of the kids are aghast but there are always those who want to follow us in and see what its all about. Maybe we should start handing out applications.
This week saw two sold out shows in the village. I always imagine it's a real trip when a band who has been playing big cities pulls into this little rural anomaly. I hope it’s refreshing. Did you know that we nearly always provide some charcuterie for the bands? If you see a show at the ballroom, there's a good chance that guitar solo was powered by hoards of salami and kielbasa (which is admittedly a weird way to think). In the past, January has been a very slow time of year for us. That's not really the case anymore and we have been so fortunate to have customers who make the trip for good meat 12 months out of the year.
We are batting around some ideas for new products and some exciting possibilities. The shop is humming with tons of animals, great staff and a generally excellent vibe. Come, share the vibe, buy the meats, don't get left out.
