To all our long time dedicated customers, as well as the many new customers we have had the pleasure of serving,

I am sure you have all seen the news of production problems at the meat processing plants. This has caused prices to increase at an alarming rate. We have tried our best to keep price increases to a minimum, keep our prices updated on our website as well as notify customers of such increases when placing their orders. The reality is that prices are increasing, some significantly compared to just three or four weeks ago. Product variations are very limited, and getting it is not always a sure thing. The good news is some products are still being processed and have experienced very little price increases. Such as turkey, and chicken, as well as lamb and veal.

I want to remind everybody that this is a temporary situation. Although It probably will get worse in the next few weeks, hopefully we will start to see some more normalization as harvest levels stabilize and workers come back to the plants.

We have all been affected by this virus. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you, especially those on the front line. So, let’s all keep socially distancing and our fingers crossed. We have been very moved by the many letters and notes of appreciation we have received. Although it has been very stressful operating with limited staff, several of whom have underling health conditions, combined with an overwhelming number of orders the last few weeks, we will continue to serve our customers to the best of our ability.

Again, thank you for your patronage. We will all get through this together!

With gratitude,

Drew’s Market
