We supported a different farm for our bulk grass-fed beef for many years but decided to switch to Kalon Farms last summer because they were closer to us and because the other farm, while having fantastic quality meat, weren't the best at butchering. We tried Kalon beef a number of times by buying from their storefront but finally decided to buy half a cow. It took a couple months to finish off the previous cow we'd purchased before getting to the Kalon cow but immediately knew something was wrong as soon as we tried our first steak. There was a subtle "off" taste to it. Over the next month or so, we tried multiple different cuts and all the ones with any fat or marbling had the same issue. The leaner cuts were mostly okay. I reached out to Kalon using the form on their website. No reply. I reached out again via email. No reply. I was very clear that I wasn't expecting a refund or reimbursement of any kind because I knew it had been a few months. I just wanted to inform them and ask if anybody else had reported the same issue. Still nothing back from them. Eventually, a few months later, I remembered that I still hadn't heard anything back so I called and asked to speak to someone in charge. They were super sarcastic on the phone. It started with "Are you sure you bought from us? I don't even recognize your name." It progressed to "Many people complain about the taste because they don't know what real grass-fed beef tastes like; it's not like store-bought meat." It ended with "We had another complaint a few months ago but our owner took the beef home and ate it all and it was fine." I went there three days ago to drop off the over 240lbs of what remained. Around 80lbs of assorted steaks and cuts. Around 20-30lbs of roasts. Around 100lbs of mince. Around 30-40lbs of bones, tallow, organs, etc. I was very polite to the person at the desk (it's not her fault, after all), we were respectful of the space and brought everything back in cooler boxes and placed them neatly inside. I handed them a letter (pic attached) and included my phone number in case the owner wanted to call me back. Still zero response. There are a few other reviews online complaining about the same "off" taste but there's seemingly always some sort of excuse as to why it's the customer's fault or that the customer just doesn't understand what good beef tastes like. I also saw some posts about their farming practices, stating that their animals were feeding on what used to be dump grounds. I didn't see that for myself so I can't comment but it was worth noting that it's being said by more than just a few people. Personally, I've accepted the loss of, literally, thousands of dollars of meat. It would've just been the professional thing to reach out to me at least once to discuss the matter. Instead, I get complete radio silence. I included a pic of the email I'd sent and the letter I left. I also included a comparison pic of Kalon's mince to the mince from my previous farm. Theirs looks extremely pale and anemic in comparison. It also doesn't match what they sell in their storefront. I suspect their storefront gets meat from their healthy cows but bulk orders are not from the same batch but, obviously, that's purely speculation so take it for what it's worth. I have no evidence one way or another but the discrepancy in quality between bulk and storefront is visible/tastable. read more

I have ordered twice from them. The first order was OK but the second had several thawed meats. I had to dispose of a couple and the others I cooked right away. When I called they denied this ever happening in the past. I followed up 3x no offer of refund or replacement. I asked for a manger or owner twice but only got a young woman who sounded overwhelmed and was useless. I will never order from them again. read more

We moved away and they are still shipping. Their outstanding products to us couldn't be happier with them. Try them once and you'll never go to grocery store again. read more

Amazing staff, a huge selection of quality meats. Also tons of gourmet goodies. From fantastic dark raspberry balsamic vinegar out of a stainless steel tub, to cookies, to a huge selection of hot sauces, coffee. And so much more. The best of the best. read more

I will only buy my meat from Kalon farm. Night quality meat, and all of their other products are great too.

We looked for a quality but non-commercial / chain meat provider in the Clinton area. We found Kalon farm during a Google search. We quickly head to the store which is about 5 miles from our house in Clinton. Very nice selection of beef, poultry and other locally harvested meat. Nice selection of spices and other unique items as well. Very friendly employees and offered a few tips on preparing a beef brisket. read more

This farm just opened this retail location but had been around for a number of years. This location is in the middle of a beautiful open field. Ahh- country air! Their prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality. Their selection of meats and cuts is better than you find at your grocery store. Everything is well labeled and easy to find in the freezers. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and turkey. All the cuts and prices are displayed on the board above and their is a handy scale right there too. Their grass fed, pasture raised animals are delicious- sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians I just offended. They also have free range eggs that aren't crazy expensive- can I get an amen!?! Aside from all the carnivorous delights, they also have their own wine, sauces and caned goods, speciality sodas, some veggies, cheeses, and balsamic and olive oil dispensers. Overall I will be back- many more times. read more

We love Kalon's meats. Best we can get around this area! High quality & delicious. Just a quick observation though: the cashier didn't have any plexiglass around the register area to keep her protected from all of us customers. I felt bad for her! Please install one ASAP for her safety!! :) read more

This meat is so much better quality than what you'd find in a grocery store. A very bare bones shop, but their meat selection is fantastic. Person behind the counter was also very helpful and able to answer my questions. read more

Fantastic selection of locally raised grass fed and pastured meats,eggs, locally produced cheeses, local wine and more! We recommend Kalon Farm to everyone and anyone looking for amazing quality and the opportunity to know where there food is coming from. read more

Yes, the meat is better than a grocery store but it is also 2x's the price. I just paid nearly $8 lb for sausage. That is crazy high for sausage. When I had it, it was average at best. There are some decent meats here, but if you want the best go to Blood Farm in Groton. I just paid $8.49 lb for the best steak tips I ever have had. Very tender! This okace is a far 2nd palce to Blood Farms. read more

HUGE selection of meat, sauces, condiments, cheeses, even a selection of wine. Everything is lean cut, grass-fed, and organic. What's more, the prices are insane!!! My wife and I purchased a 1/4 cow share here. Totaling $1030 for everything, we literally have a freezer and an icebox full of meat and are optimistic that we won't be shopping for meat again until next October. This essentially comes down to $5.05/pound of meat... you try finding grass fed beef, tips, roasts, ribs, prime rib, briskets, or any other cut for that much per pound. Ground beef, arguably the cheapest, usually goes for about $7... and that's at Price Chopper. If you can budget it out and have a decent amount of fridge space, I'd highly recommend it. However if you want to go there for just a few cuts of meat every once in a while, they've got you covered there as well. I HIGHLY recommend trying the Cider syrup. It's good for literally anything from Ice Cream, Pancakes, marinade, drink mixes, etc. The staff there are very nice, very helpful... and very strong, which is a good thing as you will need help hauling that much cow out to your car! read more

I'm certain this place is a scam. The meat is so over priced. Not his own. The bar is a joke and has aweful beer. The people there are literally clueless and don't care. I was excited for an event and it was empty. They advertise with wrong dates and wrong phone numbers. I'm sorry but be truthful to your customers. Sleezy place. Go to NH for real "fresh" meat.. scam scam scam. read more

Had driven by their store in Lancaster several times on the way up to mount Wachussett. Wanting some decent steaks one day I stopped by on the way home. What an awesome find! Bought 2 t-bones. They were truly excellent - tender, and tasted great. And the prices are very reasonable. Truly a great place and I plan to buy more from them. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE, THE PEOPLE AND THEIR FOOD! The meat is spectacular, the eggs are so incredibly fresh and the entire shoppe is filled with savory, sweet and special edibles that make you want to buy them all! I have a hard time leaving sometimes, but I remind myself, I can always come back!!! read more
