I was under the assumption that maybe I was doing something wrong, or perhaps my crock-pot was shot and overcooking things. So this year, having just heard of butcher boys I purchased a 3 and 1/2 lb tip. Crock-Pot for 7 hours and oh my gosh it was perfect. Now that I know this place exists and I've had a good experience, I'm going to head back over and try a few more things, like for example I see on their website that they have duck breast. That will absolutely be my next purchase.

Four Story Hill Farm is a very small operation but they bring some of the best raised meats to some of the higher end and distinguished restaurants in the country. Their beef is awesome and I recently tried a 110 day aged version. Talk about a unique flavor profile. Ever heard of milk fed poularde? Me neither but it looks like one of their breed has taken on to it like cattle do. Makes for interesting flavor profiles. Well raised animals, in a caring small operation, with the end product being tasty and flavorful

As we entered the shop, the amount of different available items, was overwhelming. We looked over the cases, made some choices from the frozen meats, and told the lovely woman behind the counter, what we were looking for. She listened, and as soon as the butcher was finished with the prior customer, he prepped our fresh cut ribeyes. We chatted with him and he made a few suggestions, according to our choices. We were thinking the same thing! He seemed pleased that we were so tickled that he approved. This shop is a breath of fresh air. Someone who takes true pride in what they do!

And, while there are many meat shops in the Scranton area, my family's choice for kielbasa has always been Schiff's even though it's about 20 miles from their home. Now, having moved away from Pennsylvania decades ago, I haven't been able to find kielbasa that is as good as that from Schiff's from my childhood memories. So, during a recent trip "back home", I stopped by Schiff's to stock up on kielbasa. Our daughter also requested that we pick up its necessary accompaniment, horseradish. My family loves both the regular white horseradish (spicier) and the red one that is prepared with beets. Schiff's also has an excellent selection of other meats: a deli with sliced meats, cheeses, and specialty salads; fresh fruits and vegetables; ethnic foods such as pirogies; and more.

Just to give an example, the Meat Locker (long closed) had some creations that photographed well and were genuine specialties. Here, the name of the game seems to be ethnic tastes, namely special types of sausage. Main knock for me is that they sold me 3 choice filets at 26.99 per pound. I think this is outrageous considering Schiff's probably still sells the entire tenderloin for $16/lb or less. The cuts were low-end coming from what I call the "tail" of the tenderloin, actually with a vein of gristle. They also stock frozen local pierogis which I can't fault them on the quality of, but I cooked a dozen of them today and will note that they were a bit too bready and grainy for my taste. I also bought fresh kielbasa which I didn't get a chance to cook but looked great. There are tons of exceedingly positive reviews on another platform singing the praises of Bosak's, but I can't find many specifics and my experience puts it into more of an emergency/novelty category for those who live further downvalley.
