Gave the owner a 1300# angus steer and two 300# hogs. Took over two months to get our processed…read moremeat and was told we would get a 40% yield. Every inquiry by text or phone was met with silence or anger that I was bothering him. Received less than 370# of beef, with 150# being ground, no tenderloin and don't believe it's our steer. Was told we would only get sausage from our hogs but received 130# of processed meats and no sausage. Definitely not our hogs. I figure we were shorted over 100# of beef and 100# of pork. Did I mention that this was for a charity?

Terrible customer service. They do not communicate with customers, had to drag cost info out of…read morethem the day before pickup. Doesn't have meat ready by time processed. I left many messages and never received a call back. I finally had to do research to find an alternative phone number which I did on the USDA website. The man who answered claimed he was the owner was not pleased, he was unpleasant. Dropped off 3 pigs. Two were around 250 lbs, third was 300 lbs. At pick-up it filled 1 cooler and half my freezer. I've raised pigs in the past and two pigs usually fill my freezer. So, seeing that 3 did not fill it up completely says there is something wrong. You don't lose 60% of your live weight when butchering. I truly think I picked up someone else's order. My cut sheet requested bone in chops and ground pork. All the meat was boneless and there was no ground pork. I found Italian sausage and this was not ordered. I contacted the owner that day an explained the situation. All he kept saying was he wasn't a liar. His son in the background said there was no way they weighted that much and kept calling the pig's pot belly. I asked if they could please supply me with the weight when they were dropped off the pigs and what the hanging weight was. They do not have that information. I asked if I could have a copy of the cut sheet, they do not have that either. I also wanted to know how long the wait time was from drop off to slaughter. He had no idea. Not even a receipt was given at pick-up. Everything seems to be shady. The owner was so rude, it was my fault for second guessing him. My statement to him was humans make mistakes. This may not have been intentional. I would like this to be looked into. I was told he would think about it. What is sad is after researching this company more, they are many unhappy people. And we all have the same reasoning. I even discovered they were suspended due to "establishment did not handle or slaughter animals humanely" in June 2023. That really scares me. Do the animals get fed while waiting? How many days do they sit from drop of to processing?

Our first time visiting this Saturday Morning Market in Downtown Ocala and what a great experience…read moreit was, some of that I attribute to the mild temperatures here in late September and much more than that is it's a very well organized event with some spectacular vendors. Although the pavilion is dedicated to a number of farm to table vendors there's so much more surrounding it - it's also equally amazing how much free parking there is in very close proximity to the market so although I recommend wearing comfortable shoes you won't be setting any step records if you track those things. I specifically came here to see if I could fine some fresh vine ripened homegrown tomatoes, a few vendors had the most beautiful juicy tomatoes from Tennessee and after slicing a few I knew I scored big and being they were very reasonably priced I loaded up which means most of my meals in the next few days will include chilled sliced tomatoes which I'm fine with. We also found some beautiful jalapeño peppers and delicious cucumbers if I lived local this is where I'd buy all my vegetables. We were here about an hour just checking things out but long enough to grab a large freshly squeezed lemonade which was outstanding, not cheap but delicious and refreshing . This place really exceeded my expectation and one that I plan to return to when in the area...

Fun! This is a nice market to go to on a Saturday morning Downtown Ocala that offers a variety of…read morethings. I was surprised that they even had meat from some local farms. There were food trucks, tables with fresh baked goods, crafts, jewelry, pottery, plants, candy, pickles, flowers, plants and people selling miscellaneous items. Handmade candles and soaps, cookies, muffins and sourdough, cinnamon rolls and so much more with kids walking around and dogs on leashes and smiles galore so go on Saturdays and explore it's just fun who can ask for more!
