See why Fareway's Meat Counter has been a cut above the rest since 1938!
Tried and true, red, white and blue values have always existed at Fareway and are still guiding us today! With the new trend of what's old is new and farm-to-table, there is nothing more important than a great butcher. Since 1938, Fareway has been providing communities around Iowa with only the highest grade of USDA Choice Beef, All Natural Pork and farm fresh chicken for their families. The quality of meat served by our meat counter managers is well known within the communities we serve and we are a trusted source of expertise on each cut of meat we offer. From our first counter in Boone, Iowa to our hundredth store which opened in 2011, we’re here for you and your family each step of the way.

"I save money shopping at Fareway's meat counter! My favorite butchers cut and trim my meat so it's meal-ready. If I am cooking fajitas I have the butcher slice my chicken and write "fajita" on it. My meat is ready to go after a long day of work!"
