Country Village Meats is all about meats crafted in the old-fashion butcher shop tradition. We are a family-owned business where meat is our passion. Our mission is to make the finest tasting products at a fair price via the artisan methods of years past and to provide friendly, helpful service to our customers.

Our team members offer decades of unparalleled experience in whole animal butchery, curing and smoking, sausage making, marinating meats, and cutting and trimming fresh steaks and chops as customers request. Much of their skilled meat cutting is on display for customers to see in our retail shops.

Our Sublette location is a resource for the northern Illinois farming community where farmers bring their cattle, hogs, sheep or goats for processing.  On week days you can observe from the store area into the cutting room, where our team skillfully cuts halves of cattle or hogs into all the cuts folks love to eat. You might arrive on a day when we are smoking hams, bacons, sausages, meat strips or some other tasty meat and the smell of the hickory smoked meat will tantalize you into buying some our meat sticks or meat strips because your hunger calls. As a working facility you see the importance our local farms play in feeding Illinois. Our Sublette physical shop size might be small, but we offer a great variety of meat and sundry choices to give you much tasty eating and many memorable meals.

We’re excited to open our second location in Geneva, Illinois. We offer the meats and products you love from our original Sublette location, plus with its larger retail area we have full-service meat, seafood and deli counters, and a grocery area with foods from other local and family-owned businesses. We plan to soon add made-to-order sandwich service to our deli counter’s current prepared sandwiches. Stop-in and say hello. We are happy to show you the store, give meal suggestions, and offer preparation advice. We hope you delight in returning often to learn what’s new and see the offerings that change each season.

We enjoy sharing our love of meat and good food along with helpful service with our customers.  We hope to see you soon.
