I've bought grass-fed beef and pastured pork from Farmer Ben's for the last two years. They…read moreactually got me hooked on grass-fed and pastured meats. I was hesitant to take the plunge due to the higher price of such products, but health reasons made me reconsider. I heard about Farmer Ben's and bought jjust a few items the first time (some hamburger, sausage, bacon and a couple steaks), and I was sold from thereon. The flavor, quality and freshness of the meat is unsurpassed. It's so worth the price to get such healthy, nutritious food. Their farm store sells other products as well (some excellent dairy and poultry products, plus grass-fed lamb from other farmers in the area). I hear this summer (2012) they are adding some farm grown veggies, too. Well worth the nice country drive to shop.

This is an excellent local store, great employee interface, and competitive prices. I always go…read morethere before Safeway. This store understands Lynden and people who shop looking for fair pricing and bargains. I recommend it to anyone needing good groceries and produce in Lynden, and, without a doubt, their bakery section puts Safeway to SHAME.

Lynden Meats cut the steaks all lumpy & uneven so they were hard to stack in the freezer, but Keizer had them cut straight so they stacked easily like books. We have not had any problems with them nor have our customers.

Don't just label things a "beef roast" let customers know what/where the cut came from as we all know that greatly effects the way you cook your beef), my steaks were cut too thick even though I had talked on the phone with a woman who specifically asked me how thick I wanted my steaks done. My roasts were cut too small and bones were left in even though I specifically asked to have my beef be boneless. I was extremely unimpressed by the woman I spoke with on the phone as well. She was very abrupt, fast moving, and didn't really seem to care. Our family will never go back and have been absolutely unhappy with our cuts.

It was a few weeks ago that we made an appointment and met Lisa at the Oostema Farmstead. My…read morehusband has been searching for his perfect steak for the last few years and I'm happy to say, he is pretty darn pleased with the Wagyu Rib Eye he cooked tonight. We purchased a number of items and this was the first one he tried. Lisa explained to us what Wagyu is exactly (we didn't know) and how their farm operates and it was quite interesting! There is a lot of information on their website or just ask Lisa!! They also carry Angus Beef as well as American-Wagyu. Lisa also explained to my husband how to cook Wagyu and to our surprise..NOT on a grill. He followed her instructions and is very pleased! We will definitely be back for more but for now we are stocked. He looks forward to his next steak!!! The Farmstead store has some other items as well including some very awesome full zip hooded sweatshirts (currently $20!) high quality and I have to say I have been living in it If you are local and are looking for a great steak, definitely make an appointment with Lisa!! Thanks so much!!!

Having never really been to Lynden we drove down there from our place just north of the border and…read morepicked this place to stop for lunch. There appear to be quite a few eateries around, but we are glad we picked the Avenue. The place is cool inside, and from the looks of the place, it's always hectic. We don't mind ordering at the counter and awaiting our foods arrival, as it's quite European in nature. I settled on the BLT and added another T with a turkey addition. The lovely K had the basic Roast beef sandwich. Both came with potato chips and appeared to be quite large on the plate. They were indeed as we both finished half and got a takeaway box for the balance. My BLTT was excellent, although I did find the chips a little greasy. The lovely K found her sandwich to be just a bit less tasty, hence the four stars. All in all a place we would come to again, as it appears to be good value for the money, a pleasant atmosphere and a cool concept. Thank for a really nice lunch.

And hey, what other butcher's shop have you been in where they have a chandelier? They source a lot of their meat locally, and you can special order cuts and hormone-free meats if that is your thing.

Everything is labeled so you know if you are buying local pork, or beef, etc. The space is clean and inviting and they have a range of other local specialties like sauces and jams for you to buy. Also, very friendly and knowledgeable service. Just be aware if you get product from the deli, because your total can add up fast! The potato salad is good, but it's expensive.
