Emigh's Market Celebrates Grand Opening

Right around the same time that Dixon Patch was in Dixon, another business was kicking off in in town.

On Friday, Emigh's Market opened its doors with a grand opening event. The market is owned by long-time Dixonites Martin and Jeanine Emigh, who also own and operate MJ Livestock.

Their newest venture, Emigh's Market at 1660 North Lincoln, Suite A, will feature naturally-grown-local meats, including lamb and beef.The Emighs raise lambs without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics.

The Emigh's tradition of raising lambs dates back to 1876, with Martin Emigh's great grandfather. Marin is a fourth-generation rancher, who plans to pass along the tradition to the fifth generation, his son Eric.

On Friday, the market's first customers enjoyed free samples and one lucky customer won a free leg of lamb.
