So many people are amazed with our bacon, sausage and great meats.  They all come from Carpenter’s Market, located just up the street from Zane Trace Inn.  It’s fresh meat, reasonably priced, and cut to order.  I interviewed Eric Huston, the owner of Carpenter’s Market, a couple weeks ago.  You can watch the video on Zaney Girl TV! 

A couple years ago, some people from Wisconsin were visiting family in Somerset.  They brought a whole cooler of cheese with them to give to their family.  After eating our bacon and sausage, they placed a special order with Eric.  He packed their meat exactly the way they wanted it and froze it for them.  They left with TWO coolers of sausage and bacon!  Some guests have cleaned out the meat case with their special requests!  After one retreat, the ladies loaded up with their families’ requests for bacon and sausage and literally bought every ounce that Carpenter’s had in the store. 

During Chocoholics Weekend, we special order thick cut bacon for our chocolate covered bacon.  Eric orders a slab of bacon, about 7 – 8 pounds, and cuts it into 1 inch slices for us.  Then, he packs it according to our request.  We cube it, fry it, and dip it in melted chocolate.  Then we roll it in crushed almonds.  YUMMY!  We also get tavern ham from Carpenter’s and cook it slowly on low heat.  The secret is drenching it with a bottle of Frostop Rootbeer.  It is wonderful–tender, flavorful.

Come visit us and check out Carpenter’s Market when you do.  You’ll love it as much as I do.
