Our Story

Three generations of family tradition in Brookings, SD

The Glanzer Family Legacy

Homestead Meats is a proud family-owned butcher shop founded by Tim Sr. and three of his sons from the Glanzer family. Our roots run deep in the tradition of quality meat processing, with three generations of expertise passed down from grandpa Joe.

What started as a family passion for providing the highest quality meats has grown into Brookings, SD's premier destination for fresh, premium meats and specialty foods. We serve not just Brookings, but the entire surrounding area, bringing families together around the dinner table with exceptional products.

Our Commitment to Quality

Every cut of meat that leaves our shop represents our family's commitment to excellence. We understand that the meals you share with your loved ones deserve nothing but the best, which is why we maintain the highest standards in everything we do.

From our carefully sourced beef and pork to our house-made sausages and specialty items, every product reflects the knowledge and passion that has been refined over three generations of the Glanzer family tradition.
