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.

I had the best service EVER at the Food Pavilion in Lynden, WA! Chris in the meat department was…read morewonderful & helped me with the right cut of meat i needed.

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.

We used them last year for our 8 cows, and compared to Lynden Meats they were great! Lee actually…read morelistened to what we wanted and gave us that, plus they do lots of "freebies" that Lynden Meats charged for such as turning ground beef into preformed patties. 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.

I wish I could go back and taken my beef order to another butcher. Meat cuts were not labeled to…read moremy satisfaction (I.e. 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!!!
