Because The Five Days of Meat were made for butcher shop news: The Farm Stand at 161 Ocean Street in South Portland is staffing up and shooting for a mid-August opening, according to Portland Food Map. The retail store, which plans to sell only local food and meat, is a collaboration between Penny Jordan, co-owner of Jordan's Farm, Ben Slayton, owner of Farmers' Gate Market, and Joe Fournier, formerly of Rosemont Market and general manager of the new venture. Announced by the Bangor Daily News back in May, both Slayton and Jordan were looking to expand operations in the Portland area, and Jordan says "she knew she needed someone [like Slayton] with meat experience to complete her vision."
