They are family owned and operated and have been providing the public with quality poultry and food…read moreproducts for over fifty years. What kind of poultry say you? How about turkey, Geese, Ducks, Chicken, Capon, roasts and boneless choices, and even Turducken. In case poultry isn't your thing, you can load up your shopping bag with a ton of other choices, hams, tenderloin, rib-eyes, shrimp, bacon, etc. And what's a nice slab of ham or turkey without the trimmings? No worries, mate, Miller Foods sell a ton of side dishes - both white and red mashed potatoes, Frozen Veggies, cous cous, rice, gravy, even ravioli and meatballs. They have you covered for dessert too. If you're a pie guy or girl, you can revel in their choices of Apple, Pumpkin, Boston Cream, Pecan, Chocolate Cream, Sweet Potato, Mince, Blueberry, Lemon Meringue, Strawberry Rhubarb, Cranberry Apple, and the seductively named Fruits of the Forest and French Silk. They set up a big tent around Thanksgiving and sell any Thanksgiving related goodie you can think of. There were quite a few samples available for your tasting pleasure, and we bought a big can of turkey gravy and a package of cheese because the samples were so good. We also bought a 14 pound fresh turkey for about $3 a pound. We really enjoyed our shopping experience. The store and tent are a lot of fun to wander around in, and the employees we interacted with were all super nice and helpful.

I would have preferred that both turkeys be donated if this is what I would find on my doorstep. Disappointing because other years when we have purchased our turkey through Miller Farms we have gotten a much better value than this year. Chalk this one up as a learning experience. Will not repeat with this program. Fortunately they delivered early enough I have time to make other plans.

4.50 stars. As the name states, Avon Prime Meats is a purveyor of USDA prime and a few other…read moreselections, but you cannot go wrong with any of the prime cuts (and frankly, based on what I have seen at this point, the other cuts are just fine as well). So far, I've had prime NY Strips, ribeyes, picanha (top sirloin cap) and Porterhouse steaks here and all were absolutely divine. They even may have a few cuts that don't make it on the shelf but you can ask for them and they might make your day even better. This store has quite a bit more than an impressive array of butcher cuts. You'll find all sorts of meat and seafood swimming in a number of different marinades. They have deli meats, and you'll probably prefer them here to anywhere else in Avon (and really anywhere in Hartford and its surrounding cities). Are you looking for some fancy tri-colored pasta? They got that. Natalie's Juice? It's here. Elk and venison? Maybe some other exotic cuts? They got quite a few in here. They even have a decent beer selection. And I haven't even started talking about all of their prepared food which is far better than what you'll find in most high end grocery stores. In any event, along with the Fresh Market chain's Avon location, you can pretty much source all of your non-basic wants and needs at these two shops.

I know it's Avon, but prices here are outrageous. I was looking at the ground venison & elk,…read moreneither one had prices listed (on the product itself or anywhere around the fridge). So the counter person took them back up to the register to check the prices, they were in the $23 & $24 range for 14 ounces. That's double the price I pay for ground venison and ground elk at the Litchfield Locker, the prices there are $11.99/lb (venison) & 10.99/lb (elk) respectively. So, needless to say, I just wasn't interested in being fleeced, no thanks. I won't be returning.

New England Pasta sells fresh cut pasta, ready to re-heat entrees, sides, soups, salads, etc. I was…read morein the area and picked up a few things to make at home over a few days. My favorite purchases were the fresh cut egg linguine and the Ritz-based stuffed cod. The fresh linguine cooks in a minute and the texture just hits different in the best possible way. The cod was nice and firm and the Ritz stuffing was crazy delicious. I also liked the Chicken Francaise. You can't really compare it to restaurant quality Francaise because it's specifically made to be re-heated and eaten later. With this in mind, I though that the small chicken pieces and lemon sauce were very solid. My other purchases included clam chowder and Tuna Mac Salad with peas. The Tuna Mac was pretty good. It wouldn't be in regular rotation for me, but I'd get it once in a while. The clam chowder was my least favorite, but I respect that New England Pasta seemed to go for something different. The texture was good and it had plenty of clams and potato. But it tasted like it had a little blue cheese flavor. I can't say for sure that they used blue cheese, but the chowder definitely had something different that gave it this vibe. For me, this flavor was a bit too assertive. I don't live near New England Pasta, but if I did, I would visit once in a while. Four Stars

It was 100 degrees out today, what's better then a refreshing açaí bowl? The menu at Liquid Nirvana is extensive, and everywhere you turn there are additional menu items. In addition to açaí bowls, there are juices, smoothies, salads and wraps available. I got the Tropical Paradise Açaí Bowl. The base is made of açaí, almond milk, pineapple, mango, banana and blueberries. It was topped with granola, pineapple, banana, coconut and honey. This was so fresh! I could hear the blender running as the girl, blended everything for me. There's no freezer burn here. It was cold, fresh, and so delicious! I also think $11.00 is a great value. I once paid $17 for an açaí bowl on my travels somewhere, the portion was tiny and it was far from fresh.

Like, for example, they have an extensive selection of kimchi offerings. I also appreciate finding brands like Primal in stock. But, as other Yelpers have already stated, the prices are considerably more expensive than items found in your "normal grocery store". One reason might be the small ARMY of staff they have working here. I arrived just after they opened at 8am this morning, EVERY aisle had at least two or three employees stocking shelves. Yeah, the store is nice & clean, but I imagine the higher prices on stock reflect that level of staffing. The parking lot can be a mini adventure to navigate, but I try to get here early to avoid too much hassle. And since Whole Foods in Avon is a 20 mile round trip for me, I only come here to shop occasionally.
