 Meet
the Meat Man
By Adam Stone, Meat Department Manager,
from the August 2005 Newsletter
How many times have you walked into a store expecting
myriad culinary aromas rushing into your senses from the deli/bakery
but
instead
you experienced the awful stench of a poorly cleaned meat/seafood
department? Sort of ruins the mood doesn’t it? Well my vegetarian
brothers and sisters, this will not be tolerated at your new home
of the Moscow Food Co-op.
Greetings Co-op members, my name is Adam Stone
and I am pleased, honored and privileged to be your new Meat
Department Manager.
I have been cutting meat and selling meat for 14 years. Through
those years I have served communities in Texas, Idaho, Colorado
and Washington while being employed by corporately owned stores
as well as independents. Now, my family (my wife Ashley, and children
Zoe, 12, Noah, 10, Julian, 5, and Liam, 3) and I have moved to
the Palouse. This month I am beginning as the Co-op’s first
meat manager.
The greatest teacher in this experience has been the consumer.
I love to glean all kinds of information through conversations
with consumers that have diverse culinary backgrounds.
I am excited to work with the existing producers
the Co-op carries for pork and beef on a fresh level. I am also
very excited to be
bringing Country Natural
Beef, Beeler’s naturally pure pork and Ranger “free range” chicken
into the mix.
I will make it my obligation to bring consistent,
fresh, high quality meat products that have been raised by environmentally
conscious ranchers that adhere to the
strictest “natural” and “organic” rules and guidelines.
I will also implement and maintain a cleaning regimen to ensure
a safe and sanitary environment to process these fine products
in. I encourage all to come by and
introduce themselves. That way we can start a culinary journey together. As
we get to know each other, hopefully, you will realize my passion
for what I do.
I believe that good food is a way of life. See you soon.
