Double S Meats: Where Your Butcher Knows Farmer John's Cow By Name

Welcome to our brand new series: Small Business Saturday! Every Saturday we're spotlighting a local business in Okanogan County that we actually visit and support. First up: Double S Meats in Tonasket—a butcher shop that's been around since 1983, and where the staff can literally tell you which field your steak came from.What we discuss:Why we're launching Small Business Saturday (hint: supporting local isn't just nice, it's critical for our community's survival)The moment we realized Double S isn't just a custom cut-and-wrap operation—you can walk in and buy daily meat just like an old-school butcher shopWhat Grace taught us about why grass-fed beef makes better patties (the fat sticks together differently—these people know their stuff)The big windows where you can watch them cut and wrap your meat in real timeWhy the prices will shock you: $4-5/lb for ground beef that comes from a cow grazing right over there vs. mystery tube meat from WalmartThe deal nobody talks about: 10% off if you show a receipt from local restaurants they work withThis isn't your grocery store experience where "local" means nothing. At Double S, they know the ranchers, they raise their own cows, and they're processing quality beef, chicken, pork, and even salmon. Grace sent us pictures of their own cows for our Instagram. That's the level of connection we're talking about.We're giving away 12 lbs of their grass-fed beef patties at the gym this month because we're pro-protein and pro-supporting businesses that actually care about quality. If you think local automatically means expensive, this episode will change your mind.Double S Meats38 Tonasket Shop Road, Tonasket, WA509-486-4418Find them on Facebook for weekly deals
