From Double R Ranch and Snake River Farms beef and Carlton Farms pork to Draper Valley chicken and Reister Farms lamb, our full-service meat departments feature the best, freshest meats available. Each of our meats is sourced from a single company that we consider to be the best in their specialty. Through our collaborations, we’ve developed a close partnership with each of these vendors. Read more about our relationships with specific farms and ranches below.
Our Beef
Zupan’s Markets meat department is proud to offer a unique selection of cuts that simply cannot be found in other grocery stores. Available every day, these steak cuts are perfect when you’re looking to create a special meal to impress or simply looking for a great tasting steak.
Double R RAnch beef:
Located in the Okanogan region of Washington State, Double R Ranch is committed to sustainable farming & ranching practices. The mild climate, open spaces and abundance of natural resources in the Pacific Northwest provide for cattle health and comfort. Additionally, the temperate climate increases access to a diverse range of sustainable feed ingredients. Double R Ranch beef is hand-selected to include only USDA Choice and higher levels of marbling.
Snake River Farms Beef:
One of the most famous types of beef, Wagyu is known throughout the world for its intense marbling, rich flavor, and supreme tenderness. Raised along the high plain of the Snake River in Eastern Idaho, Snake Rivers Farms cattle is considered one of the most highly regarded groups of American Wagyu cattle in the world. Utilizing the heritage-steeped Japanese feeding method, which takes three times longer than the typical U.S. techniques, results in beef that is sweeter with a more buttery flavor and mouthfeel. Zupan’s currently offers Snake River Farms American Wagyu Beef in a variety of steak cuts plus fresh-ground beef and gourmet frankfurters.
Grading system & terms:
Choice or Prime
This grading system is used to measure the amount of marbling in a piece of beef. Marbling refers to the white flecks and streaks of fat within the lean sections of meat. Marbling is what gives beef its flavor, juiciness, and tenderness. Prime beef has the most marbling, while Choice cuts have a little less.
