Premium Beef: The Star of Your Holiday Table

Nothing says luxury like a perfectly cooked prime rib roast. At Shady Maple, our beef is sourced exclusively from steers raised in the U.S. and Canada—never frozen, always fresh, and hand-finished by our skilled meat cutters. Choose bone-in for dramatic presentation or boneless for easy carving. Plan for about one pound per person for bone-in, and ½ to ¾ pound for boneless. Cook to 140–145°F and let it rest for 15–20 minutes for juicy perfection.
Looking for something even more refined? Our tenderloin roast, the same cut used for filet mignon, is the most tender beef you’ll ever serve. Cook it gently to medium and allow it to rest before slicing for melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

Crown Roast Pork: A Festive Showpiece

For New Year’s or any holiday celebration, nothing beats the elegance of a crown roast pork. This stunning cut, formed from the rib section of the hog and “Frenched” for presentation, pairs beautifully with stuffing, fruits, and seasonal spices. It’s a centerpiece that tastes as good as it looks.

Smoked Ham & Turkey: Flavor You Can’t Forget

Our on-site smokehouse operates six days a week, producing smoked ham and smoked turkeys that deliver authentic, savory flavor. Choose from bone-in or boneless options, all smoked in-house for unmatched quality.

Local Fowl for Traditional Holiday Dinners

If you’re craving something unique, try a capon—a specialty bird prized for its size and succulent breast meat. We also offer fresh, locally raised ducks and the classic Christmas goose, perfect for old-world holiday traditions.
