While we were there we picked up some of their pre-made beef sticks of different flavors from the counter, excellent seasoning, very good and tasty. We also had a whole pig processed by them, and the flavor of the smoked bacon was so darn good we raved to all our friends about it, fantastic! The experience and quality were so good we've decided to do it again with them this year, both half a beef and another pig. Could NOT be happier with these folks. We come down from St Paul and it's well worth the trip.

Funny I picked up the frozen beer battered pollack. I did some sampling for this review. Ham spread, not spicy, pretty mild and perfect for an appetizer. I got a creamy macaroni salad and it is clearly made on site. Not the generic crap. Some ham for sandwiches. This is definitely not the stuff from the store. The butter spritz cookies looked great for a snack later. You really have to hold back. If i picked up any of the jams and jellies I'd put back on the 50# I lost. The only non specialty items were crackers and sodas as far as I could tell. There's a lot of stuff here and a lot of people buying it at any given time. My favorite was in the deli. Pete's jalapeno pickles. Now Yelpers know I don't like anything spicy. This just looked so damn good and it was bread and butter style. A great flavor. Super big slices too. They have good cheese assortments and I was impressed by a huge block of sliced American. Lots of staff. This place is almost like a hang out.

Part of the reason it is all gone is well, it was super delicious. If you are worried about the amount, get a second pan; it'd be great leftover sandwich meat; cold even. The heating instructions are a bit lacking. I heated it at 350F until the meat was 165F. It was about $20 for the container and worth every dime. Anyhow, I walked over to marathon and got some buns. Then I dipped the sandwich in ghost pepper chile sauce. Easier to control the heat that way. At the end, I was eating a few last tidbits without any sauce and I'm still lickin my lips when noone is lookin..

We've been going to Ferndale since 2017 and like many, we understand that they may need to adjust…read morefor inflation. That said, we were going to make our semi-annual trip to Ferndale this past weekend and we were disappointed to see that prices for ground turkey didn't just go up in price, but had doubled (according to the website) since we last purchased over the summer. We had just bought a Ferndale turkey for Thanksgiving and it didn't seem like prices had doubled at that time. Love the product, disappointed that it's now cost-prohibitive. We traveled from River Falls, WI to buy from them and now we can no longer afford it.

The Butcher Shop is a local gem that I nominate to receive a world heritage site designation. If…read moreyou've read my other reviews, you might note that I have a verifiable "thing" about old-school establishments and The Butcher Shop for me ticks all the old school boxes: glass cases displaying all on offer; butchering table a bit behind glass cases where meats are cut by these Rembrandts of protein; and succulent meats. Proper butchers greet you upon entering this Wisconsin shrine to meat and prepare to magnificent perfection the exact cut of meat you order. On this my first trip and after recovering my senses having been wowed by this little shop hidden in the woods, my particular friend and brother Bunky and I ordered porterhouse steaks (1 1/2" thick), 1"-thick boneless ribeye for the kids and for another day 1 1/2" center loin, boneless pork chops, and strips of double smoked bacon for the rotkohl to be served with pork chops. All meats will of course be grilled, steaks for 7 minutes on each side to yield charred, medium rare steaks. Oh, let me not forget to mention the smoked salmon that is so tasty and served as our biscuit for making the journey between lake cabin and The Butcher Shop. My particular friend and brother, Bunky enjoys a nearby lakeside cabin and will return as will I when next in Wisconsin. Oh, I will return, I will return and urge all who read this note to beat a direct path to the butcher shop whenever you find yourself in Wisconsin!

Great quaint little co-op!…read more Lot's of unique items you don't see at other co-op's, and there is also a really cool gigantic 40 gallon drum of bulk local honey (from Cannon Falls) that you can get however much you want of.
