Do you know what the 3 things are to look for when choosing the best ham at the grocery store or meat market? You should look for texture, color and fat content. In this video, 4th generation meat wizard Tucker Plantenberg talks about the entire process from the moment the hog is butchered to the final ham that sits in the meat counter.

REMEMBER WHEN - Richmond Community Service Award - Plantenburg's 2007

The Civic & Commerce group of Richmond made two special awards in the community for the year 2007.  In this story, President Anita Reichert introduces our award winner in the area of community service and talks about why they were chosen.  You'll meet Tucker and Patti Plantenberg, recipients of the 2007 Richmond Civic and Commerce Community Service Award.

Tucker & Patti Plantenberg own Plantenberg's Food Pride Grocery and Plantenberg's Meats in Richmond.  Tucker is the 4th generation in the Plantenberg sausage making family.  His great grandfather began making specialty meats back in 1910.  Tucker and Patti purchased the grocery story and meat processing plant from Tucker's parents in 1997.

Tucker credits "the gang" at Plantenberg's (their employees) for their long-standing tradition of friendly service and high quality grocery and specialty meats.  Tucker and Patti are both very active in the Richmond Civic & Commerce, the Richmond Fire Department, the Richmond River Lakes Days festival, special community projects and their local church.

The third annual Jaycees Soup and Chili Bowl was held on Saturday January 24, 2009 at the Cold Spring Brewing Distribution Center. Over 1800 people came through the doors on the blistery evening, and those who attended got a chance to sample some of Minnesota’s best soups and chilis. Profits from the event will go toward the ROCORI Trail project. Those who attended contributed over $500 in cash as well as donations totaling to over 1,200 pounds of food for our local food shelf. Altogether the event was an astounding success. Hats off to the Jaycees and all that helped to make this event possible. See you next year at the 4th annual Soup and Chili Bowl.
