Smoking Goose Meatery
Indianapolis, Indiana
You'd think that the Midwest, with its proximity to many a farm, would be home to quite a few quality butcher shops — and you'd be right. Smoking Goose Meatery is certainly among them. From its "meat locker" shop, they handcraft a wide variety of slow cured and smoked meats, salumi, and sausages, using traditional methods like hand-tying and seam-cutting. And unlike most of the stuff you'll find on the shelf at your local grocer, they use only healthy animals raised on local independent farms that care as much about the well being of the animals — and the land on which they're raised — as they do about the quality of their product.
