HIGHWOOD — Big Sky Montana Beef and Malek Angus Ranch owner Ty Malek says he’s seen a big surge in demand for local beef as more families are eating at home during the pandemic.
He says the most popular product in recent months has been ground beef as families work to stock their freezers,
Malek says demand for packaged meat products is up significantly, and estimates that sales have increased about 40% since March.
Big Sky Montana Beef is also supplying more meat to area restaurants, who now rely on private producers like Malek for product after shortages hit grocery store aisles earlier this spring.
The third-generation rancher in Highwood says the uncertainty of the pandemic has brought on a focus to eat local, something he’s been encouraging even before the coronavirus.
