Excelsior Springs, MO — FastZone, the new convenience store that occupies the old “John’s Super” location (960 Isley Blvd) in Excelsior Springs, has introduced a new selection of locally raised pork products from Mac’s Meats, a local farm known for its commitment to ethical and sustainable farming practices. This addition gives community members the chance to purchase quality meat in a downtown location.
Mac’s Farms, founded by cousins Joey and Mitchell McDonald, has deep roots in the area. According to their website, their farm is a family-run operation that prioritizes traditional values, hard work, and a deep respect for the land and animals they care for. Joey, who served 20 years in the United States Marine Corps, and Mitchell, who studied business and horticulture at Northwest Missouri State University, have combined their expertise to create a farm that focuses on raising pigs humanely on pasture. The animals are free from antibiotics and hormones, ensuring that the meat is both healthy and responsibly produced.
Residents can now find a variety of Mac’s Meats products at FastZone, including bratwurst, sausage, bacon, and ribs. These offerings provide a taste of locally sourced food that is flavorful and helps support two local businesses.
For those who value having a local grocery option downtown, supporting FastZone as they expand their food offerings is important. The store’s efforts to carry more food staples, including local products like Mac’s Meats, represent a step towards ensuring that Excelsior Springs has convenient access to fresh, quality groceries.
