Your Local Meat Market

Steve Prudden Sr. discovered his passion for processing meat during his youth while working at a grocery store in Osborn, Missouri and during his service in the United States Army. When his time in the Army was over he moved back to Kansas and continued honing his craft. By saving every dime he could, Steve set out after his dream of opening his own neighborhood Butcher Shop. With his bride Charlene and little boy Stephen Jr. ‘Mitch’, the family purchased our building here in De Soto, Kansas and Steve’s Meat Market was born. Today a family of three generations is serving you along with our dedicated team members.

 

“I remember when I knew each of our customers by name. Now I see so many new faces becoming familiar, frequent faces and I have many more names to learn.”
