A'MAYS'ing Meats
A new chapter in our beloved town.
We are thrilled to announce the new ownership of A'MAYS'ing Meats. Masterfare Farms and Jason & Amy Hurst have purchased A'MAYS'ing Meats. We are proud to enter a new chapter with this establishment that has been in business for over 70 years in our beloved town. We are excited to sell Masterfare beef/Hurst angus, along with beef from local area farmers.
We will be operating under the name of Masterfare Meats DBA as A'MAYS'ing Meats. We are excited to continue this tradition of providing Johnstown and surrounding communities with top quality meats: beef, pork and chicken. Along with custom butchering, we have a retail store with a fresh meat counter.
Thank you for supporting local!
