TABOR, Iowa â Just about a year ago, Justin and Jamie Ewalt were putting together a plan that carried both risk and reward.
The Ewalts, who farm near here in southwest Iowa, started selling their own beef in 2017. Justin is the fourth generation of his family to feed cattle on the east edge of the Loess Hills.
Business grew, and they started looking at other options.
âAbout a year ago, the grocery store here closed,â Justin says.
âDollar General came in and helped with grocery items, but they didnât sell meat. We were looking to sell meat cuts directly and feed some more calves, so we started thinking about finding some store-front space.â
