Rieder Meat Market: Behind the Scenes

$520.00

Rieder Meat Market opened in 1911 and was a thriving local business until it closed on July 3, 2026. The shop offered a wide array of fresh meat products: steaks were cut to order, hamburger was ground daily, sausages were ground and linked weekly, and bacon was smoked in the back smokehouse, then sliced and stacked in one‑pound arrangements, often selling as quickly as it was made.

This mixed‑media collage incorporates authentic pieces from the business — historic photos, tools from the shop, and original newspaper clippings — creating a compact tribute to more than a century of local history.
