Stopped by Harmony Farms and it continues to be one of the more unique spots in the area. This is a true specialty butcher with an impressive selection, including exotic cuts you don't usually see unless you're going out of your way to find them. If you like cooking or experimenting, this place is a gem. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful--approachable without hovering, knowledgeable without being pushy. You get the sense they actually enjoy talking shop and helping people find what they need. If I had to split hairs, the POS system feels a bit dated, and having one more register open during busy moments would smooth things out. Nothing that ruins the experience, just small operational stuff. Overall, still an easy 4.5-star experience and a place I'm always happy to come back to. read more

Goodness gracious so many different types of animals and sausages! After 10 minutes of staring at all the refrigerated cases and seeing the whole beef carcasses hanging in the back, my head started to reel with the smell of meat. I finally asked where's the tamales, not where's the beef??!! It turns out the tamales were just on the other side of the wall with almost as many veggie options as there were meat choices! I keep saying I'm a vegetarian, but I bought 6 chicken mole, 4 chicken with green sauce, and a bunch of chile cheese, bean and cheese, spinach and cheese! Sooo good with a balanced ratio of masa to filling. They have tamales every Saturday and I think Tuesdays and Thursdays as well. They are only $2.50 each. This will be my go to for feeding a crowd on short notice! read more

This review specifically goes out to Eric. Today my nephew and I went into the store in hopes to purchase alligator meat for my German Shepherd who has been suffering from allergies. I was greeted and assisted by Eric, who was very kind and down to earth. I explained to him the reason for my visit and what I was looking for. He gave a few recommendations and even a list of the different types of meats that were sold and their prices. I explained to him that my German Shepherd, who was once my brothers who recently passed was suffering from allergies. Itchy, skin, ear infections, etc. He is very knowledgeable and even gave affordable recommendations. He even gave me some version on the house. Gestures like this go a long way with people who are going through tough times and loss. To know there are still kind people out there means everything. My nephew and I thank you as well as the rest of the family. Hopefully I can get a hold of my German shepherds allergies and begin to experiment with the other types of meats he had mentioned. All in all the experience was great. Heartwarming and great customer service. I don't know if Eric was the owner, a long time Employee or what his status was at the location. Either way this man deserves a raise and acknowledgment. Thank you Eric, your gesture was greatly appreciated. Cheers! read more

They sold me a frozen chuck roast...supposed to be great quality but I was ignorant enough to buy it frozen. It was cooked to perfection but a complete off taste and smell. It was old meat. The salesperson was practically laughing at me when I asked her if it was fresh. I was dumb enough to buy a frozen roast, so shame on me. I've always had a strange experience here, maybe because I am not a local and do not patronize frequently, but the few times I've purchased I've felt ripped off based on the quality of what I receive. Never again. read more

Great meat market from everyday beef and chicken to exotic meats like bison alligator venison or wild boar. Great selection friendly people even fresh homemade tamales on weekends. read more

Came here last Saturday morning to FINALLY try the $2.50 tamales. Loved the spinach and cheese, jalapeño and cheese and chicken mole. The woman at the counter and the butcher were both super nice and gave me a warm thank you. read more

I want to shout out to everyone at Harmony Farms in La Crescenta. Thank you so much for the way everything went with the 25 pound suckling pig. My friends who were celebrating their 50th year anniversary and all their family really enjoyed the pig. Thank you for all your help from ordering to prepping the pig and packing it up. The pig smoked for 11 hours and was incredibly tender and juicy. It was delicious. Can't wait to order another for our Church event. If you ever need any top quality meats you gotta go check them out. Also a side note. If you need any of your dull knives sharpened they have a person on the Saturdays that sharpens knives for $10 a knife. read more

Harmony Farms was recommended to me by a friend and we were finally able to visit. The interior is small, but the variety is incredible. If you're looking for unique finds and cuts, this is the place to go. The prices vary but they off plenty of grass-fed options which is great. Everything we've tried so far has been delicious and fresh, and we were even able to order a turkey for Thanksgiving. The staff is very friendly and we'll definitely be coming here more often. read more

The owner left a low effort, canned, virtue signalling nonsense, as a response. However, they never contacted me, never made any effort whatsoever to make it right. Because of this I'm dropping the stars even further from 3 to 1. Super disappointing. Maybe dog food is more their speed. read more

I love going to Harmony Farm for my dogs' food. They have everything I need for DIY raw meals, and it's the only place I truly trust for meat quality and sourcing. When you feed raw, being careful about what you buy really matters -- and I feel completely confident here. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, and I especially appreciate the younger lady at the counter -- she's always so welcoming and makes sure I get exactly what I need. I also love that you can call around Wednesday to place your order and just pick it up over the weekend. You can tell everyone here genuinely loves animals, and that's why I trust them when shopping for my dogs. read more

We bought 4 filets - very reasonably priced- it was the most tender meat we've had- They have a large variety of meats and cuts of meat. Fresh and frozen. They even have dog food. Will definitely be returning here often . read more

Service is always amazing so welcoming and friendly. Only place I will shop for my family's protein needs. I feel good knowing my whole family is eating healthy. My dogs absolutely love everything from here! This place has helped my dogs thrive!! I was told by a vet she didn't expect my Rottweiler mix to live another 6months. I completely changed his diet and It's been over 7 years since that day at the vets office. He's no longer eating kibble and he is sooo much happier and confident. Thank you Harmony Farms!! read more

Bought some of their tamales! Delicious. Who knew! Got some chicken sausage also! A true hole in the wall, even better!

I found this place by pure luck! And now it will be my go to for meat. I was looking to get a whole piece of tri-tip and most placed/groceries have it cut into pieces. Well I call them and they immediately answered and reassured me that they had what I was looking for. I made it and they cut it to my exact pound request. Truly amazing service and life saver since it was to celebrate Mother's Day. Thank you! read more

It would be 5 stars if it wasn't so damn far away! I go there every 6-8 weeks to get venison bones for our dog; 8 lbs. (then maybe some packages of ground venison, elk, lamb, etc. No beef.) From that, 4 lbs. goes into a big stock pot for about 6 hours. Then we peel off whatever flesh / marrow has remained on the bone. This stock is added to her purée each evening. A few bones are kept raw for the brown bitch to chew, lick, and gnaw as a weekly treat. The ground meat is puréed along w/ sweet potatoes, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, broccoli to make her nightly repast (brekkie is salmon and oatmeal, but that's another review). We repeat the process after 10 days or so. No canned or bagged food for Suzy! She eats better than half the population. read more

This is a gem. Meat was excellent. Got need brisket and tendon. Great service and price is reasonable. Would go again.

Looking for alligator, antelope, venison or something a little less exotic (hamburger, chicken, duck)? Head on over to Harmony Farms. Great selection and service and our go to place to order our fresh thanksgiving turkey. Sonny and the rest of the staff are great and I love that they support our local community. read more

Once you buy ribeyes or tomahawks from here you won't want to buy them from any other establishment. The flavors are noticeably elevated and that is why I say so. Service is great if you're looking for something they will lead you in the right direction and are very friendly. You're going to a place with different cuts styles and options so your ambience is geared towards your pallet. read more

Theo Wagyu steaks are delicious & priced so well. ($30/lb). Can't wait to try all their items.

I am so happy this gem exists. We've had the venison medallions, NY strip, and various sausages (e.g., elk and wild boar)-- all delicious, beautifully packaged, and reasonably priced. The folks at the counter are so nice. The list of meats available is huuuuge. Will definitely be making the trek to La Crescenta to try the other items. read more

So when we moved from the east coast out west we had issues finding a butcher shop that we loved and offered the quality and selection we were accustomed to and a friend recommended this place... It's pretty far from our house so we hadn't tried them until this past season when my family was really craving Dominican food. I was seeming nearly impossible after I called and stopped into more than ten different locations over more than 100 miles . After searching high I remembered Harmony Farms and sure enough they had what no one else for miles had. It was an absolutely beautiful massive pork leg/shoulder bone in and skin on! read more

We ordered a goose from Harmony Farms. It was 12 pounds and cost about $16 per pound. It was fabulous!!!!! There were 6 adults and enough leftovers for two more. The most tender and delicious goose I have ever had. Not as much fat when we were done compared to geese I have purchased at grocery stores in Northern California. I will definitely order from them the next I come down to cook a Danish Christmas dinner for my family. Great service ! read more

This is such a wonderful place to shop. They have so many varieties of poultry and meat. Whatever your recipe calls forgo here to get the best and most options available!! read more

Love this place never shopping for my meats anywhere else but a butcher shop. The service is aight could be a bit more attentive it's ran by an elderly couple who always seem to be working on the books when you come in lol. The ambiance is tiny but every refrigerator is labeled and it's easy to find what you're looking for. They've got good quality meats. I grabbed some American Wagyu pattys and whole chicken wings for a BBQ. And they did not disappoint. read more

There was street parking everywhere, this place is a dream come true! High quality meat with an amazing selection! Many different types of beef, pork and lamb, they also have some unique selections like turkey sausages, duck, elk, venison etc... We cooked the lamb we bought today and we loved it so much!! The owner was so nice that he helped us do a butterfly cut and even gave us some tips on how to cook it! There were some really cute paintings and decorations in the store too! read more

Since it's the Holiday season, I was checking out this locally recommended meat market to see whether they had any specialty meats for Christmas and New Year celebrations. Boy, do they have meat! I saw venison, Wagyu A5 beef, various poultry and buffalo meat. The good woman behind the desk was able to find me some ground Angus beef with only 10 percent fat content and totally soft enough to make meatballs for our pasta tonight. I asked how far in advance do I need to pre-order, so the kind woman provided me with a fully complete list of all the meats they carry printed on a yellow full page paper. During my shopping adventure, this reminded me of someplace on the east coast where hunting is more popular and the variety of meats was incredible. I will ask the wife whether prime-rib or a goose would be better for the holidays, so I'll be back to this classic butcher shop in the near future or just a pound or two of beef for a nice meaty dinner. You really can't beat the homestyle atmosphere! read more

I listen to too much Joe Rogan. I came in craving some game meat. They have a wide selection. Walked out with elk medallions and venison leg steak. Both smelled really clean and didn't taste gamey at all ! read more

Their variety of exotic meats is amazing !!! I've been coming for years. Initially I came for the rabbit which I make on Easter with carrot cake. I've purchased their alligator for Memorial Day and most recently tried their Duck Bacon !!! Deliciously Delicious. This is the place for exotic meats for sure. Except we can't get any SKIPPY (Kangaroo) here in the states ... read more

Been wanting to try a Christmas goose for years now. So where can you find exotic meats - Harmony Farms of course. Place is small but all freezers are fully stocked with wonderful options so you can make most any traditional dish. We bought our goose, bison burger patties, lamb, and rabbit sausages. The whole family got into making tes dishes. Service is great the staff is super busy but very attentive and quick to help. Just love seeing that hustle for their customers. I almost forgot to mention they have a good selection of Wagyu. read more

Great service! Never disappoints! Great selection of meats! Love the weekend tamales!!

My mom and I walked in and she looked up and went back to doing her thing. Walked around and she starred at us. Didn't even ask if we needed help. The butcher came out and was very nice. When it came time to pay she just told us the total. We paid and she still said nothing. Very rude lady. read more

Harmony Farms - Didn't say a word. Just looked at us while we walked around. Horrible customer service. - Meat Shops Near Me - La Crescenta, California

I remember this play had a lot more assorted meats but still great place to shop. The tamales are very good taste great at least to me, they not that greasy. I will definitely keep shopping there. And the ladies at the front desk are nice very polite. read more

I love you Harmony Farms I love the service, quality, and prices you offer our community. Unlike any other!

This place has excellent game meat. We stopped in after doing a hike nearby as this spot has been on my list and we were not disappointed. The place isn't too big and has a sort of weird layout but everything they have is quality & the prices are fair. I also like the way they have their freezers organized & the way they package and label all the meats. We got the rabbit sausage which literally blew my mind, I expected it to be good but wow. We paired it with whipped potatoes, a light cream sauce and asparagus and it was truly amazing. We also got wild boar sausage which I'm really excited about using in a red sauce pasta. We don't live nearby but I can confirm when in the neighborhood I will be stopping in to pick up some more specialty items. read more

Look no further. Best product and customer service on the planet. I've been a customer for 5+ years. I'm an aspiring cook, recovering vegan, mother, government worker, but trying to handle it all. When I met Gene at Harmony Farms, I couldn't even place an order. I stood in the middle of the floor dumbfounded. How many pounds? What cut? i just looked at Gene blank and smiled "yes please and thank you." Gene got the message and the rest is history. My family eats what Gene tells us to eat and I'm good with that. I looked at the photos on the wall behind the counter and saw a family man, veterans, and people who cared about their business and customers. Today I am firing up the grill. I will never buy meat from another vendor. Ever. Happy. Healthy. Grateful. read more

I have been going here for myself and my cat for 11 yrs. I think both Jean and Sonny are great. The meat is top quality; the service is top quality. I have recommended them to friends. They do not disappoint. I'm sorry I took so long to write. Thank you. Barbara L read more
