I learned about this place from a colleague and was completely unprepared the first time I went. I…read morewent on a Saturday morning and the line was already about 20+ people long when I arrived. We waited for about two hours, but it was well worth it. The prices are unbelievable. Surprisingly there were no unbearable odors and the staff was pretty fast. I realized what took so long is customers not having an idea of what they wanted and those who also wanted to bargain. The first two times I went I spent about $100 total. Each time the meat lasted our family of three at least three months. We were literally spending a couple of hundred dollars a month at the chain supermarkets. My colleague also has a family of three and she goes every 6 to 7 months. To make your experience better there are a few things you should do. 1) Make sure you have a thick jacket because its very cold and you can be standing inside for some time waiting for others to put in their orders. 2) Have an idea of what meats you want and how much you want. 3) Go on a weekday if you don't want to have to wait in line for hours. If you're someone who likes to have your hand held and your a customer who needs to be coddled through the purchase process, do the rest of us a favor and stay at the local supermarket. This is a fast-paced environment and the staff doesn't have time to stroke your ego as they have so many people to take care of in a short amount of time.

I am never going back again. I bought beef tenderloin there in the past, and it was decent…read morequality, decent price. But last week when I asked for a beef tenderloin, they handed me a vacuum sealed cylinder shaped package from a different vendor. They charged me well over $12 a pound and when I saw what I was getting, I happily thought I was getting the center cut. But when I got it home and opened the package, it was just several butt pieces with a lot of silver skin and thick sinew running through each piece. I'm sure these were pieces that would otherwise be discarded. After an hour of cleaning out the silver skin and sinew, discarding over a pound, all I was left with was pieces, not a single one big enough to cook as a steak. Fooled me once, but they will not fool me again. I am never going back.

If you're tired of paying high beef prices at your local supermarket, you might want to contact…read morethis place for custom butchering at a very reasonable price. They also have a Facebook page that you can contact them through. You can pick quarter, half, or whole cow. The actual meat processing is done separately by their contracted butcher. But he'll contact you for the exact type of cut that you'll prefer. If you order a hind quarter, then the decision will be whether to have T Bone steaks, or to have NY Strips and Filets. Also, you'll need to instruct the size/weight of the roasts that you'll prefer. When complete, each steak, hamburger, or roast are wrapped individually and labeled. The owner will work directly with you on timing for pickup, and put you in contact with the actual processor. Be sure to have ice chest or container when ready for pickup.

You should be thrilled an employee cares as much as she does, its refreshing. Thankfully she was unaware, i truly hope this was a one time event.

I asked the owner and they put no hormones, antibiotics, etc. in their animals. They also have an assortment of ready meals and take home to cook/bake meals. For example; I got a meatloaf that I have to bake and it also has instructions which is extra cool to have. The owner, Christine I believe, walked with me to help me pick everything based on what I wanted and even helped me get exactly what I needed for a beef stew. From the veggies, meat, and base. Everyone in there was welcoming and polite. Her "mom" vibes is exactly what you need while finding what you need to prepare a home-cooked meal The meat was fair priced but you are paying for higher quality meat that has been raised right so it's worth it to me.
