This place hit my radar a couple of days ago.  May go check it out tomorrow as the store is only open Wednesday's from 2:00 - 5:00

The University of Minnesota is home to the first university meat laboratory in the United States, founded in 1901 by Andrew Boss. The current meat laboratory, located on the St. Paul campus, is home to meat science research, teaching and extension. Additionally, we welcome all in the community to visit our salesroom to purchase a wide variety of fresh and processed meat products.

Pretty nice list of products available. Prices seem competitive.

Maybe some of you near a large University have something similar under your noses and didn't know about it......like me :)

Been meaning to update you on this David. Place is not ready for prime time. Went their, huge line, tiny room. Remember it is only open 3 hours a week. and I got their right when it opened.

No product. I was going to buy several items from the list, but they were out of everything I wanted. The place was kind of run like a high school bake sale.

I think the only way to make this place work would be to preorder what you want. But then again, I like to look at the meat I am buying first.

Just showing up is a fools errand.....and I should know ;)

I want my 4 dollars for parking back

Pappy,

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry to hear about the waste of your time...  :(

I agree, while pre-ordering makes sense - when it comes to meat, I want to see what I am buying.

Sounds like they need a marketing guy.... But, I guess from their perspective, if they are sold out - that is good...  ::)

On the bright side it is only a half mile from restaurant depot. Got some huge clods of beef and spare ribs. Love that meat cooler!

Shame on me - tell me about the depot?

Thanks!

Restaurant Depot is on Como ave, literally across the street from the fair grounds. I bought a KCBS membership so that I can get in with a day pass.  They have an arrangement with KCBS.

The meat cooler is something to behold.  Forklift dodging is a required skill.

Clear some room in your freezer before you go. ;)
