Steve’s Meat Market is right on the main north/south route through Historic Olde Town Arvada. Local hunters have long known it’s the place to go for big game on-site processing. In fact, Steve’s Meat Market has been at this location since 1985 and is the largest big game processor in the western region. During the hunting season, Steve’s processes 8,000 to 10,000 animals.
Hunters bring their game to Steve’s Meat Market, and pick up the processed meat in three to five days. Steve’s Meat Market is also a drop-off site for taxidermy. There’s a small retail area, where beef, buffalo, elk, pork and venison sausage, bratwurst, ground burger and jerky can be picked up on the way home.
Steve’s Meat Market is in a 119-yr-old building. Originally 5751 Olde Wadsworth Blvd. was ‘Evans and Black Livery Stable’. In 1931 the ‘Arvada Blacksmithing Shop’ made its home there, then ‘Arvada Iron Works’ from 1946-48, next was the ‘Lincoln Cab Company”, and then the ‘Arvada Tire and Brake’.
In 2005, Steve’s Meat Market received a ‘Business of the Year’ award from the city of Arvada because of their renovation of their historic building. An award from ’5280, Denver’s Mile-Hi-Magazine’ followed two years later.
Steve’s Meat Market’s website includes instructions for field preparing your game, and a page full of Steve’s personal hunting stories.
The center of historic Olde Town Arvada is roughly bordered by Ralston Rd., Teller Rd., Grandview Ave., and Yukon St.

I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those *communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly *suburbs northwest of Denver.
