About Us
Our Story
In 2003, Rick and Andrea Hoerman purchased a USDA Slaughter and Processing facility in Fair Grove, MO. Horrmann Meat Company was born and they, along with their sons Seth and Grant, got to work learning the industry and the trade of meat cutting. Over the years, relationships were built with local farmers. The idea started forming of a destination location where urbanites could come and shop for locally produced meat.
Horrmann Meats Farmer's Market was created in 2011. The Queen City butcher shop offered local farmers a place to bring their meat to a broader market and customers a shopping experience they could trust. Still located in the same spot on the west side of town, this shop has weathered storms as trends and economic factors have changed over time, with loyal customers and farmers to support it.
Many of the farmers currently offered in the store have been there since the beginning! Throughout all of this, the gang at Horrmann Meats has been hard at work developing tasty recipes that have been staples for the Springfield area community.
True to their German heritage, bratwursts and sausages have been their specialty with over 30 varieties. New flavors are still being added! In addition to all of the meat options, several other local farmers have been added to the line-up from fresh seasonal produce, milk, duck eggs and much more!
Since the early days, the business, and family, have kept growing. Not only the sons but also their wives and now, even some grandchildren like to get involved in the fun. The family hopes to offer quality local products to their neighbors for generations to come.
