MAPLE PLAIN, Minn. — The Minnesota Beef Council has named Dehmer’s Meat Market of St. Michael the 2022 Minnesota Retail Beef Backer. Dehmer’s Meat Market is a third-generation, old-fashioned, full-service meat market offering a wide variety of home smoked meats, as well as fresh cuts, fresh ground beef, seafood, and a full deli.

It also offers graduation party packs, party platters and does wild game processing.

“We are very honored to receive this award and be among some of the finest meat markets in our state,” said Tony Dehmer, meat market owner. “We take pride in our business and always strive to do our best. Dehmer’s has served the St. Michael community since 1924, using many recipes that have been handed down through generations to hand craft our products.”

“The Beef Backer program is our way of recognizing those establishments that exhibit leadership and excellence when serving beef,” said Royalee Rhoads, director of Industry Relations for the Minnesota Beef Council.
