Recently, I had three cows butchered by them and did not receive what I ordered. Instead, they turned all of my order into ground beef. The receipt that accompanied my order was illegibly scribbled on a sheet of paper. After taking the time to raise a cow fit for butchering, I expect the best quality butchering. What they provided me with was an absolute joke. I will never be purchasing from this company ever again.

From their Facebook page about the location: "At the "Y" in Zion, Bellefonte, Pennsylvania 16823." It is a bit of a drive from State College, PA, but it appears this is the closest traditional butcher to State College. Their prices are about the same (some cuts were a few cents to a $1 cheaper) as a grocery store and it appears they have bulk specials. The lighting nor the signage inside was very good, which made the first time going here a bit confusing/overwhelming. They have fresh sliced and freshly grounded meats (pork and beef). They do have some chicken products, deli meats and frozen fish. It looked like there is a case for fresh fish, but there wasn't any fish in the case when I was there (which was weird since it was the week before Christmas). The staff was very friendly and almost too fast. I haven't tried the ground beef and pork I purchased just yet. But if it's good, I may consider going out there every now and then.

Everything is reasonably priced.

The meat quality is on a level by itself. So good! It's awesome to find a place that is committed to the health and well-being of the animals they harvest and serve their community. Legitimately some of the best beef I've ever had the privilege of grilling and smoking. I haven't had their pork but my dad said it's also top notch. Come taste the difference local pride makes.

It's a LITTLE BIT of a hike from my normal route but worth the drive in my opinion.

I cannot think of any reason to do that other than increasing the weight. I had to use a paper towel and dry off every piece as I took it out of the package. See the pictures below.

Also check out the before and after pictures of what it looked like after I dried off the right hand piece. Unfortunately, I won't be back. Buyer beware.

There are many things worth noting about this store that are good. But, they are trumped by the…read morestore and the store's workers' and customers' lack concern for each other, their community, and shoppers, and their respect for government or science. There was marginal mask wearing by the employees, about 50%, and about 25% by the customers. Both groups are thus inconsiderate, to themselves and to their customers, and to the related area. Mask wearing is a super easy way to reduce the spread and help us get back to work and play. It saddens me that in this somewhat christian area, known for its churches (many Mennonites work there, and Mennonites and Amish shop there, you can recognize them by their clothing and lack of mask), that they are not being kind, Christian, nor sensible. What would Jesus do? He would wear a bleeding mask. I did speak with the manager who noted that workers had been reprimanded. But within sight of us were two workers not wearing their mask close to correctly! One if left to ask, do they believe in food hygiene even, then? do they believe in food safety? If they won't follow some of the most necessary and visible public safety rules, what do they do when we are not looking? Do they "believe" in cold chain? Do they believe in the pathogen theory of disease? I guess I'll go back post pandemic, but I did lose a little faith in humanity in that the manager (the manager!) felt powerless to enforce public safety on her own employees. I cut my visit short, reported them to the PA Department of Health, and wrote this review. I will also have to be less sympathetic to groups of folks that do not support public health. I left sadly disappointed.

For example, I purchase Canadian bacon before moved last July at $6.99/#. Maple syrup would be a good item as well and their homemade chicken salad, ham salad, macaroni and potato salads are awesome. They also make dips and one of my favorites is the roasted red pepper dip and the other is a cinnamon walnut raisin cream cheese spread for toast. Don't forget the spice section, and if you need kitchen utensils, large, cast-iron, skillets, and other kitchen needs buy them at Peights, If take a trip to Belleville, make sure that you stop at the Amish Farms and load up on vegetables such as big green, yellow, and red peppers three for a dollar fresh corn out of the field $4.00 a dozen.
