Locally raised and processed beef, chicken and lamb will soon be available at the newest location of Key Farms Meats & Mercantile. In the wake of their success at their Carrollton location on Maple Street, Dr. Allison Key has been waiting for the perfect time to establish her business closer to her Bremen customers.
“We wanted to have a Bremen location and waited for God to open the doors,” Key speaks for her and her husband, David. “The business is growing slightly faster than anticipated, but that’s a good problem to have!”
This Bremen location will be opening on April 20th at 125 Buchanan Street, where White Hummingbird was previously located. They will be offering fresh-picked strawberries and displaying tulips from their farm. Follow their Facebook page for more details!
It was only two years ago that Key opened the mercantile’s doors in Carrollton, so naturally we are curious as to the source of the business’ popularity. Key’s top best seller? Her very own Key Farms beef, which often sells out rapidly once the store shelves are stocked. All the beef comes from their very own family farm!
However, Key Farms also makes a point of supporting other local farms by selling their products as well. In fact, Key estimates that she sells products from at least ten other local and regional farms. Before any meat is labeled for sale, Key and her crew screen the source to make sure the cows were raised in a humane and sustainable way. The same screening applies for chicken, and to the most recent addition of lamb.
“[Lately] we have been processing lamb, and it’s been a hit!” Key exclaims.
On top of fresh, local meats, Key Farms Meats & Mercantile will be selling Pounds Pickles, Udderly Cool cheeses, local eggs, and some unique sauces and jam. All of the best-selling items will make their appearance at the store’s Bremen location.
