Windy River Meats isn’t your average start up business. Born in Kennewick, owner, Korey Lancaster is the 4th generation in his family to enter into the meat processing business. In the early 1960’s Korey’s grandfather, Bob Schutz, opened a custom meat cutting and butchering facility in Pasco, following in the footsteps of his parents who were butchers.
Bob’s Custom Meats grew to include locker beef sales, custom smokehouses, and sausage manufacturing. In 1982, Bob’s son Byran bought the business and continues to run the custom side of the business in his location off of Burden Blvd – the best place in town for custom butchering and wild game processing.
Korey learned to cut meat in this facility and it was through Bryan’s mentoring that Korey and his wife Staci were able to open up their own retail location in the lot to the North of Bryan’s Butcher Block.
Windy River Meats opened in March of this year, offering the freshest of local meats, cheeses, beer and wines. All fresh meats are butchered in-house. Korey uses family recipes, and some of his own, to make his fresh and smoked sausages from scratch. Their mouth-watering, thick cut homemade bacon is a huge seller, as is their homemade Jerky and Snack Sticks. They have just started to phase in local grass-fed beef and have Montana grass-fed buffalo in the back. Their motto is “if you don’t see, just ask and we will cut it fresh!” They are also happy to try and order items in they are not stocked. There is a monthly fresh seafood pre-order list via email and Facebook in which they bring in the freshest of fish, shellfish and more. The holidays will bring pre-ordered Smoked Turkeys, Peach Brandy, Apricot, and Honey Hams and Seasoned and/or Smoked Rib Roasts. Windy River Meats strives to bring quality and value back to your table. Stop by and check them out today!
