    The Austin Brothers Farm sells beef, pork and eggs at their on-site farm store. The store is a…read moretiny building with wall-to-wall freezers full of their amazing grass-fed meat. If you want to buy some, you should call ahead. For my first visit, I came by during their posted hours, and I read a sign to honk my horn to be helped. As Mr. Austin explained to me, he is around during the days/times posted, but he might working in one of their fields. (If he knows that you are going to visit, he'll plan to be in the area of the farm shop.) He was also kind enough to explain some basics about choosing meat for what I might want to cook. He was so helpful! I'd never bought meat directly from the source before, and I'd never set out to buy grass-fed beef before (but I've been getting more interested in knowing about food sources). Every weekday, I drive by the Austin's Farm on my way to work, and I can see how well the animals are kept, and how happy they are in their spacious fields. In a sense, it could seem morbid to see the animals that might end up on my table, but I'm actually glad to know that they are healthy cows who live good lives. And, I like knowing that my purchases directly help to keep a local farm family in business. Best of all, their food just tastes amazing!! I hope you'll stop by and give it a try!! (Or check their website for farmers' markets where they also sell their products.) Here's their info: Austin Brothers Valley Farm 270 West Street Belchertown, MA 01007 Open year round, or by appointment: 413-668-6843 Tuesday and Wednesday, 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM Thursday- Sunday, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Closed Mondays http://www.austinsfarm.com

    This is my local market meat guys, but not my absolute fave meat guys. I haven't tried everything…read morethey do, but I do love one thing, so, to be fair, I'll rave about that, rather than be snide about other stuff that I have no biz being snide about. I LOVE THEIR STEAK TIPS OK, there, I said it, now it's out, and the whole world, or at least the part of it who read yelp, or at least the part of the part of it who read my reviews, knows it. Marinate them in a bit of lime and ginger, and grill them. DELICIOUS! They have fresh eggs too. They aren't those great little blue ones with the really bright yolks, but they are happy eggs, you can tell.

    Stopped in this morning with friend, Demanding Dan. This place highly recommended by his friend,…read morewho lives in the area. Large assortment of smoked meats, and assorted condiments. Was looking to buy a kielbasa, but was specifically looking for one stuffed krajana style (Polish for chunky), not ground meat style. They only make the latter. I ended up with frozen packages (frozen, due to the long drive home) of Italian sweet sausage, Italian hot sausage, and bratwurst. Each priced at $10.49 / lb. For me, a bit steep. DD got breakfast sausage. Also, what seemed to be a side of beef. It was very heavy carrying it to my vehicle. He, who wears a Rolex watch (and drives a Lincoln!) also thought the prices were steep. He rated them 3 star, which is to be expected. He has, in fact, earned his reputation as Demanding Dan. If I lived a bit closer, would be interested in trying a few other things. And fresh, not frozen. Update - next day. I had one each of the hot and sweet Italian sausage. Very, very good. Nicely spiced, seems like lower fat content than store-bought. Still pricey, though, and no fennel seeds!?!?

    I don't live near this place, but have passed it in my travels for years now. I finally stopped and…read morepicked up a few things. I bought kielbasa and different types of pierogis. We had to freeze them for the trip back to Long Island. Everything we got was delicious. Nothing was overly salty like the store bought stuff. The next time up in Mass. I would like to stop and try different things. The people working there are very nice and accommodating. You will walk out smelling smoked meats for a little while.
