Gorton’s 12/12 Meats

about us

The Gorton family has been in the meat industry since the 1970's when Tony Gorton attended meat cutting school after his time in the military. In the 1980's Tony began producing Beef Jerky, wholesaling it all over the country under the name Nortog Meat Snacks. In the early 2000's Nortog opened its doors to the public and started its first retail meat market in Rockford, MN. He had since retired and his son Doug has opened a new market called Gorton’s 12/12 Meats located in Montrose, MN on the corner of Hwy 12 and County road 12.

Gorton’s 12/12 Meats specializes in fresh meat merchandising, fresh sausage from their sausage kitchen and smoked meats and snacks.

Now the next generation is ready to work hard and continue to provide the community with great service and high quality meat products just how

Grandpa Tony taught us to.

In House Products

Douglas Gorton has spent the last 20 years working with journymen meat cutters from all over the state of MN. He has also spent most of that time studying smoked meats and sausages. All of the smoked meats in the store are made in house and most are original recipes developed or modified by Tony and Doug. With the help of his brother Evan they developed an all new product called the Brat Dog.

Fermented Sausages

Sometimes the best things in life take time. That is whats going on here. Fermentation of certain sausages are what make the flavors possible. Pepperoni, Landjager, Tangy Summer and Snack Sticks just to name a few. Snack Sticks can be fully fermented in just 24 hours while landjager can take weeks.
