The Butcher & The Baker, incognito. 😂

Turns out the easiest way for us to go unnoticed is just to clean up. 😜

Nobody really recognizes us without the hats, flour or meat juice covered clothes and aprons.

Another great event tonight with Ponca City Chamber at Party at the Palace.

A few updates from The Butcher & The Baker

Hunting season is among us so we're changing Sunday hours starting this Sunday.

SUNDAY HOURS ARE NOW 12PM-5PM.

Now about our downtown plans since we've been asked and already told a few— we've decided not to move forward with a sit-down bakery/eatery location downtown.

We were excited about the idea and had a lot of fun planning what we could bring to that part of town. But part of doing your homework before making a big investment is paying attention to everything — the numbers, the environment, and yes, even some of the things you hear along the way. Not every table needs our chair at it.

What really made us pump the brakes were the numbers.

When you hear monthly sales numbers from a few businesses that look more like a slow week at the Red Barn, spending tens of thousands of dollars to open another brick-and-mortar starts looking a whole lot less exciting. The lease payment, the utilities, the second location staff just eats away at what you plan. That's not a criticism of anyone. It's information — and good business owners use the information they have before writing big checks. Most people don't start something new just so they can say they have something new for a short time.

So we took another look at what we were actually trying to accomplish with a sit-down eatery and realized we can accomplish a whole lot of it right here.

We're going to bring many of the things we had planned downtown to the Red Barn instead — more food, more bakery and more of the ideas we've been wanting the room to do. And we're going to build our own commercial kitchen. We already own the land. It's outside the floodplain. There's not even a foundation yet, so it's going to take some time. 😂 But when it's built, it'll be ours.

We don't own the Red Barn building, but we know whats been built inside of it. We'd rather continue feeding a location that's already busy while putting our major investment into property we own.

We don't regret looking downtown. It actually helped us figure out what we want next.

Same money. Same ambition. Better plan. More at the Red Barn. More room to make it. And a building of our own behind the scenes.

The difference is that instead of putting the biggest part of that investment into another storefront, we'll put it into our own property. It'll take longer this way, and that's fine. We're not in a hurry to have two locations. We're in a much bigger hurry to make sure the decisions we make today still make sense ten years from now.

For us, this one does right now.

The Baker is currently just here for moral support. 😂😭

Our oven is down waiting on a part, which means for the next few days I have been relieved of the one duty literally written in our business name.

Baking.

No cookies.
No cakes.
No rolls.
And yes…

NO BREAD. 😭

I have flour, sugar, ingredients and a sourdough starter with absolutely no idea that our entire operation has fallen apart.

Meanwhile, The Butcher still gets to come to work and actually be The Butcher.

Show-off.

Everything else at the market is business as usual. We have new orders arriving all week.

Until the part arrives, please enjoy The Butcher & The Dependent. 😂

Steak Sunday 🥩

Around here, we feed our people well. The way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, after all.

Does that mean they’re eating a damn good steak and loaded potato off a paper plate, sitting on a milk crate, using a 5-gallon bucket as a table?

Yep. 😂

We never said we were fancy. We said we’d feed you good.
And that ol’ Weber hasn't let us down yet.

Now I’m curious. What has been your best work perk in the past or present?

We're here until 5...

☀️ GOOD MORNING, PONCA CITY! ☀️

It’s a BEAUTIFUL Saturday, and everyone here in the Red Barn is loaded up and ready for you!

🥩 The meat case is FULL and ready for all your weekend grilling desires. Steaks, burgers, chops — whatever is hitting the grill tonight, we’ve got you covered.

🍽️ Simply Southern Dinner Kits are ON SALE for $8.99! We’re making room for all the NEW Fall goodies… and that other C-word that’s right around the corner. 🎄😬 Yes. We said it. 😂

💚 We’ve still got some fresh Oklahoma okra left, but y’all have already wiped out close to 30 POUNDS of it, so don’t wait too long!

🍪 AND… Kitchen Sink Cookies are baking! 😋 They’ll be hitting the market later today, loaded with a little bit of everything because apparently choosing just one cookie ingredient is boring.

So after you’re done running around for Crazy Dayz…

Turn your Crazy Dayz into a grillin’ night. 🔥🥩

Come see us at the RED BARN on Lake Road! ❤️
