Scanga Meat Company - Salida, Colorado

Happy to have found this great butcher shop in the Salida area. They had a robust selection of beef, chicken and pork plus other meats and cheeses (I picked up some Wisconsin cheese curds) Everyone in the group I was cooking for raved about how tender and flavorful the porterhouse steaks were! I’m the type of person that will gladly pay a little more for higher quality local food and Scanga did not disappoint. Easily 5/5 stars

Awesome assortment of unique sauces, rubs, jellies, preserves, pickled veggies, meats, cheeses and meat rubs!

We tried Scangas strawberry rhubarb preserves and Louisiana Hot Sausage! Both are delicious! The sausage is outstanding. We made a type of jambalaya with some of our sausage. So good! Definitely worth the stop and we look forward to trying more of the unique items sold at Scanga Meat company in the near future.

I stayed in Salida for weeks during a hiking trip out west, and my lord what a great butcher shop. In addition to all of the cool odds and ends they have in stock, their meats are simply fantastic. My father was a butcher / meat cutter for his entire professional career, so it was easy to tell that Scanga Meat Company's selection was top notch. Everything in their shop had a similar level of quality, as well. Overall, I must have stopped here several times, and I was never disappointed no matter what I chose to prepare that day.

What an amazing selection of meats! Bought ground breakfast sausage, ground beef, beef hot dogs, cheese, olives and frozen quail (to smoke for Easter). So friendly and helpful. Can't believe we've been to Salida dozens of times and are only just now discovering this wonderful market!

Who cares about grass fed when you can buy locally grown meat? My issue with corn fed is mass production and animal cruelty... not really something to be concerned of here at Scanga. I feed my dog a partially raw diet so we come here for his muscle meat. They have the beef heart which the dog loves. The prices on everything is soooo great. We drive over an hour to get here, but we are told they deliver to our area of Fairplay. We just like the drive honestly.
I pick up shelf items here too that I'd otherwise imagine needing to drive to a big city for. Special pastas, sauces, condiments, cheese, olives, etc. Manicotti pasta was a nice surprise on my last visit and we are excited for that for dinner.
They don't "do chickens" but have chicken from other sources. We usually stock up on pork, beef and some frozen shellfish here.

I love this place normally but i asked them for frozen cheese that was not expired. They said the cheese was fine to eat. I mean to each their own but i bought one a week prior and had it in the freezer then it had mold.

For the freshest meats...Scanga meat! Not much more than regular grocery stores or about same price!

The meat from this place is really good. We’ve been stopping on our way from out of state to the Western Slope the past few years to pick up bone-in pork roast for our family’s Christmas dinner. We called ahead to reserve one this year on Wednesday at noon (today is Friday) and they told us they had plenty and we didn’t need to reserve one. We told them we would be picking up on Friday and they said that was no problem. Well, we got there today to pick it up, and they were completely out and asked if we had reserved one. This is what us and the rest of our family were counting on for our dinner and had everything else planned around. We specifically drove through Salida solely to get that meat. This all would have been avoided if they had just taken our reservation per usual. Super disappointing and will not be returning in the future.
