The shop Bemidji has trusted for 80+ years.
Walk into Stittsworth Meats on Paul Bunyan Drive and you’ll find a full meat case — fresh-cut steaks, ground beef ground that morning, house-made brats, smoked summer sausage, snack sticks, and the prepped chicken line that gets locals through the week. Behind the counter you’ll find people who’ve been cutting meat in this town for years.
We started in 1940. The family has been doing this through five generations. Most of the recipes — the brats, the summer sausage, the snack sticks — have been refined here, not pulled from a supplier’s catalog.

Bemidji and the surrounding lakes country.
Customers drive in from Bemidji, Turtle River, Cass Lake, Blackduck, Solway, Bagley, and across Beltrami County. If you’re hunting in the area, this shop takes a deer that is already skinned out (hide off), or trim you want made into sausage. A full hide-on deer — and everything else — goes to our Turtle River facility, (218) 586-2149. Call before you drive.
Stop in. We’ll cut what you need.
