About Mahogany Smoked Meats

With over a century of mahogany smoked flavor behind us, we consider this little country smokehouse a Bishop legacy. We still do things the old-fashioned way using a deep log-pit smoking method. To this day, our small batch, slow-smoked meats are still hand-sliced. And even though we've earned a reputation nationwide for our premium smoked meats and jerky, when you shop with us, you'll see how much we value you as a customer. So like the generations of our other customers, give us a try; we promise you'll be deliciously delighted. It was a man called "Wally" who named this store and area "Meadow Farms," back around 1922. He started the business of smoking hams and bacon with 300-year-old mountain mahogany logs just for the local folks. The mahogany smoked taste was an immediate success and thanks to the many tourists in this beautiful High-Sierra country, the word traveled. Originally the store was only 45' long with a 10' meat case and Wally lived in the back room. As the building expanded, it housed a church, a grocery store, a bar, an antique shop, and a bakery. Due to all the changes and transitions, the ham and bacon business hung on. Today while the meat case is only 40' long, the Mahogany Smoked Meats that pass through it have become nationally famous.Read their story
