Suffering from a case of the plant-based blues?
Ponte Vedra Beach residents will soon be able to venture beyond basic ground beef and into far more exotic terrain with the arrival of Tillman’s Meats and Country Store.
The Jacksonville-based mini-chain has its sights set on a 1,365-square-foot space in the Shoppes of Valley Ridge at 10620 U.S. 1 N, according to papers filed with the county.
The shop boasts premier classic cuts like filet mignon, rib-eyes, and prime rib — all from studiously sourced domestic farms free of excessive additives.
But Tillman’s distinguishes itself with a dizzying array of truly unique cuts — including kangaroo, camel, python, alligator, and black bear.
“As a family-run business, and proudly serving our customers for over 40 years, the masters at Tillman’s Meats hand-cut and trim each and every steak,” the brand’s website states. “We ensure that each steak, roast or any cut of meat that leaves our butcher’s block is consistent with our high quality standards.”
The Ponte Vedra Beach location will be the third local outpost for the adventurous abattoir.
Tillman’s has locations at 10177 Old St Augustine Road in Jacksonville and at 4324 Raggedy Point Road in Fleming Island.
“We at Tillman’s Meats search-out and source only the best quality meats that comply with our high standards. All of our meats bear the USDA seal of inspection and come from domestic farms, proudly sourced right here in the USA,” it says on its website.
The store is expected to open in May.
