BEEF
Dry-Aged, Grass-Fed Beef from Apple Brandy Beef
Our beef comes exclusively from Apple Brandy Beef in Wilkes County, NC — a family farm raising heritage-breed cattle on open pasture less than 60 miles from our shop. We source grass-fed, grain-finished cuts dry-aged in-house for superior flavor and tenderness. Whether you're after a thick-cut ribeye, a bone-in short rib, or everyday ground beef, you'll taste the difference that local, responsible farming makes.

PORK
Heritage Pork from Looper Farms
Looper Farms in Caldwell County raises heritage-breed pigs the old way — outdoors, on natural feed, with plenty of room to roam. The result is pork with depth of flavor you simply won't find in a grocery store: rich marbling, a deeper pink color, and a taste that rewards slow cooking. We carry their full range, and our in-house butchers break every cut to order.
SELECT AVAILABLE CUTS
- House-Smoked Bacon
- Baby Back Ribs
- Spare Ribs
- Pork Shoulder (Boston Butt)
- Pork Chops (Bone-In and Boneless)
- Pork Belly
- Tenderloin
- Ground Pork
Many of our pork cuts are also available as part of our house-made sausage program. Ask about bulk orders and custom cuts.
POULTRY
Responsibly Raised Poultry from Joyce Farms
Joyce Farms in Forsyth County has been raising premium poultry with care for decades. Their birds are slow-grown, free to roam, and never administered unnecessary antibiotics or hormones. The difference shows up immediately in the kitchen — firmer texture, richer flavor, and skin that crisps the way it should. At Smoke City Meats, we're proud to be among the local shops carrying their full range of chickens and specialty birds.
AVAILABLE BIRDS & CUTS
- Whole Pasture-Raised Chicken
- Airline Chicken Breasts
- Bone-In Thighs & Drumsticks
- Whole Wings
- Ground Chicken
- Specialty Heritage Birds (seasonal)
Joyce Farms birds sell out fast on Saturdays. We recommend calling ahead or ordering online to reserve your cut.
