Our Story

About Marty's Place

At Marty’s Place Market & Kitchen, we believe food tastes better when you know the people behind it.

Marty’s Place was created as an homage to the farmers, ranchers, artisans, and local makers whose dedication has built the communities we call home. We believe the people raising our livestock, growing our produce, and producing quality local goods deserve to be recognized and supported.

Our mission is simple: to connect our community with food they can trust. We carefully source meats and products from farmers and producers we know personally whenever possible, ensuring quality, transparency, and respect for the animals, the land, and the people behind every product.

Whether you’re picking up dinner from our kitchen, shopping our market, or discovering a new local favorite, we want you to feel confident knowing where your food comes from and the story behind it.

When you support Marty’s Place, you’re doing more than shopping local—you are investing in Indiana families, strengthening our farming community, and helping preserve the values of hard work, integrity, and neighborly connection for generations to come.

Welcome to Marty’s Place Market & Kitchen. We’re honored to serve you, and we’re proud to bring the best of our local community to your table.

The people behind it

    Owner / Butcher

    Marty has proudly called Kokomo home for years, building relationships throughout the community and developing a deep appreciation for the hardworking families who have shaped this part of Indiana.

    Owner / Operations

    Jonny recently made Indiana home after moving to Peru, where his wife, Tiffany, was born and raised. While life has taken them through places like New York and other major cities, those experiences only reinforced what they value most—the honesty, craftsmanship, and sense of community found in small-town America.
