Decided to get a year's worth of food as inflation and unpredictability looms. Looked up this place and decided to give it a try. Called them up and all my questions were answered about the process. Seemed like a great place to try as she was very friendly. When you pull up, farm is clean and well kept. I believe it is wife and husband run. Wife answers phone and explains everything when you call (first time buyer of bulk meat here) and husband is butcher. Meat is halal, appropriately fed and no chemicals (I got a whole cow). Well packaged and presented upon pick up- see pic below. You can speak with butcher, Ahmad as to how he'll cut it up for you. With the uncertainty of food prices, it's a good idea folks. Buy local, fresh and clean. You can't save the world but you can keep your local community going strong. read more

Nature tasty lamb , When it comes to lamb meet I'm very picky,from the taste I came to a conclusion that no antibiotic or chemical involved in raising it as I compared to the one I used to buy from other places,no bad after taste ,I was surprised by the good quality of the meet ,the men working over there as I was conversing with him he confirmed that he was making sure that he raise them in nature freely eating grass.its completely true as I feel it clearly very similar to the meet I used to eat back home (North Africa ).communications was good and easy ,the lady on the phone was informative and cooperative.I definitely recommended it . read more

They are very nice great people respect them as hard working people's plz. They have the best chicken great customer service to me every time I come thank you read more

I was looking for local farms when I noticed Nature Bounty being mentioned. The Google reviews however were full of rude customer service from the wife so I came on to yelp and lo and behold, my own review verifies this. I still remember the condescending and cringe worthy response that I want to caution people to stay away. Hire pleasant people to answer phones and interact with customers. I wonder how the heck ppl are leaving falsely inflated reviews? Who are you and who the heck did you talk or interact with because that was NOT my experience. read more

Costumer service is no good always in a hurry when you talk to her.Additional charge when picking the meat.The meat is chewy(beef)

Check them out: www.nbmeats.com OPEN: TH-Sun 9am-5pm or by appointment on other days/times. We drove up on a random Friday, so we caught them at the end of one of their orders. Ahmad was wonderful. He showed my 5 yr old son the animal pen, let me know how it all works and why they are so different from everything else available locally. They NO LONGER sell chicken. They have LOCAL HONEY (onsite), EGGS picked up and onsite for TH *high demand, so call Tues and let them know you are interested, they will put some aside for you! They have goat, lamb & cow. JUST CALL and ask if you have a specific need. Ahmad is GREAT! DID YOU KNOW? Slaughter houses are required by law to hold their meat for at least 21 days BEFORE they can even send it to their distributors for packaging, labeling and deliver to various grocery stores :( Grocery meat is AT LEAST 30-60 days OLD! The $1 off coupon means it's closer to 90 days OLD before you take it home! FACT: Fresh meat MUST BE MARINATED to soften the animals nerves. Otherwise it takes MANY DAYS for the nerves to die, which is the cause of the tough meat. You CAN NOT take this meat home and throw it on the BBQ and complain to someone that the meat is tough. LAME. BEST TIME OF THE YEAR TO BUY: Late June, July, Aug, Sept. Once the grass turns brown, the farms don't need the animals to graze, so prices come down. GENERAL IDEA OF PRICING: It all depends, but.. Cow = meat and bones ($1.00 per pound). Angus ($1.25 per pound). Cows weigh approx 300-650 lbs. HOW IT WORKS: You call ahead of time or go onsite and pick your animal (if you want a whole). Available for pickup on TH, FRI, SAT, SUN. Bring your own container, ice chest, packaging or they will put the meat in big heavy duty plastic bags for you to take home. *For an nominal fee they will cut your animal HOWEVER you want it, specific steaks $65 for specific steaks for 1/2 cow. RANDOM INFO: If you want to avoid ALLERGY ISSUES in spring. Start taking small daily doses of LOCAL HONEY in JANUARY and avoid problems when everyone else is dosing pills like mad. Also, Un-Processed HONEY DOES NOT EXPIRE!!! Grocery honey is 30%+ water; which makes it pour like syrup. read more

Nature's Bounty - Jacobs - Butcher Near Me - Vacaville, California

See all

I called in from 70 miles away and asked till what time i could come. They said till 3pm. I was there exactly at 1:20PM. Asked for a goat. Gentleman said, he couldn't do anything today and asked to choose for tomorrow. I asked for favor. But it didn't work. Their hours on google says 9am to 4pm for Tuesday. I was there on Tuesday. Completely disappointed and never drive back to this place. read more

Very great quality meat! Lourdes was very nice and was able to pick out the best cuts for the dish I was making. My partner and I purchased lamb and goat. One suggestion is if you're going to the farm expect to purchase a 1/4 & up. They have the best of best but it's a lot if you are planning on buying a smaller amount. On the bright side If you're about to throw a party then I would say this meat is the way to go! The red chicken I bought was so flavorful, but the lamb and goat meat take the prize!! read more

Nature's Bounty - First time here and it smells great - Butcher Near Me - Vacaville, California

We drove all the way from Yuba City and were not disappointed. We much rather get halal meat from locally sourced and farm raised sources. We got to choose our own goat and they did the whole procedure. Prices are pretty good and the staff is very nice. It got pretty busy after 9 AM Saturday. Would definitely come back next time we are in the area. read more

Ahmad put the knife in my hand and I'm a new man ! It's an honest and clarifying experience, killing an animal that you are about to eat. If everyone participated in the slaughter of their meals in this country, my guess is that we would have a healthier and more enlightened populace. The farm is not really much to look at, but the slaughter facility is spotless. You come in, let Ahmad know what you are looking for, then go out to the corral and select the animal. A helper leads (forces) the animal down a chute into the slaughter building. The animal is positioned in a tilting apparatus which provides easier access to the inside of the neck (windpipe and blood-flow). The Halal manner of slaughter requires that the animal suffers as little as possible, but don't think that they don't suffer. Even with a good deep cut that severs the windpipe, veins, and arteries, the animal takes a while to bleed out and stop kicking. Like five minutes. This experience is not for everyone, but please consider how much better it is for an animal to give it's life close to where it grew up eating grass, without being trucked to a feed lot and traumatized for days or weeks before slaughter. By the way, you can buy meat from Nature's Bounty without participating in the slaughter yourself. They supply goat, lamb, beef, and maybe sometimes chicken. The meat is fantastic, and it's great to know that I am supporting a local, family-owned business. I'll be a client for life. read more

This is a small, local, family-owned Halal slaughterhouse that provides fresh lamb, goat, and beef (no pork or ham), either as a whole carcass or individual cuts of meat. This news article gives a complete picture of the farm and the business: http://theaggie.org/article/3333 We drove out to the farm on April 25 to pick up our lamb that we had ordered for a backyard lamb roast we were having that day. Our entire experience with Lourdes and Ahmad, the owners, was wonderful. Before leaving with our lamb carcass wrapped in butcher paper, we even got a tour of the farm and saw the animals that would be slaughtered for meat later that weekend in covered stalls or grazing out in the fields. It was really interesting to see up close what goes into the entire slaughtering process, and Ahmad and Lourdes were both very excited about showing us their farm. The business is pretty small right now, and they don't have a website, but they are happy to answer any questions you have about ordering an animal over the phone. The prices also fluctuate based on the age of the animal you want and the day you want it slaughtered, so it's a good idea to call, talk to Ahmad or Lourdes, and get a firm idea of what you're looking for. After our experience with them, we are seriously considering buying our beef through local farms like this one rather than at the supermarket. Bottom line: If you're looking for locally-raised meat, Nature's Bounty is the way to go. read more

My family wanted to barbecue a fresh lamb for Easter this year, so we were told about Ahmed at Nature's Bounty. As we drove up to Nature's Bounty, we were impressed by how big the slaughterhouse was. Once inside we were greeted not only by a clean operation, but by Ahmed himself. Ahmad made us feel welcomed by showing us around the facility along with taking us to see the animals. We were very pleased by the fact that we were able to choose the lamb that we wanted. Ahmad guided the animal to the slaughterhouse and gave us the choice to either watch them slaughter and clean the animal or we could wait outside. I chose to stay and watch while my mom waited outside and was greeted by the cute dogs on the property. I was thoroughly impressed with how quickly Ahmad's crew finished cutting up and packing the meat. Last night, we had our lamb barbecue and all my guests were pleased with how fresh the meat was. Thank you Ahmad and Nature's Bounty! read more

I am not a fan of gamey meat, which is why I LOVE the lamb from Nature's Bounty. The lamb is flavorful without any gamey aftertaste. I'm not sure how that happens; maybe it's the fact that all the lamb is grass fed . . . In any event, I try to make a stop to stock up on lamb on my way up or back down from Sacto or Tahoe. Last time, I called Ahmad on Wednesday for a small lamb for pick up on Saturday. We showed up Sunday to a nicely butchered lamb. I told him we were splitting the lamb with our friends, so he made TWO packs that each included: a leg of lamb, 4-6 packs of stew meat, 3-4 packs of shoulder and rib chops, and a rack of lamb. We also got the head and stomach, which I gave to my mother-in-law, who used it to make soup. Ahmad told me that I should give him more advanced notice next time so he could age it for me. Doh! Next time I won't forget! Grand total was almost $300, but when we calculated it, it's about the same price that we would have paid by the pound for lamb from Costco. I should note that I specifically requested a smaller lamb. A bigger lamb will cost more bucks. But, another way to save money is to buy 1/2 a lamb or buy by the pound. Anyway, Nature's Bounty is now my only source of lamb. read more

I have been looking for a place like Nature's Bounty for a long time! They let me pick a goat of my choice and did all the work for me. They even let you watch the entire process to ensure your meat is being prepared exactly the way you want it. I've been to many places in the past and this by far is my favorite. They're super clean and extremely professional at what they do. Even better, they package the meat in a box where it's easily transported. They were short staffed today, but I didn't mind the wait. It gave me the opportunity to really see the quality of their work. Highly recommend this place! I will definitely be back... read more

This place is absolutely awesome fresh chickens, lamb and other meats. Cannot compare to store bought.

The farm is clean and they offer a tour if you like. When I arrived the had a truck full of sheep and hey weren't nervous or afraid like they are on some farms. I got to see them prepare a goat and it was a work of art. I bought a half-side of beef and it was phenomenal read more

The high ratings for this farm leave me flabbergasted. My brother and I drove out from Elk Grove in the hopes of obtaining some humanely raised, Islamically slaughtered lamb, but instead returned home empty-handed. That's not to say that they raise their livestock inhumanely or slaughter incorrectly (according to islamic slaughter principles), because we would have no way of verifying that. However, the customer service and general vibe of the place was just...well...off. Rude, curt, and seemingly bothered by even the most reasonable of inquiries, the family who runs this operations exudes a contempt for patronage that is quite palpable. This was particularly noticeable because at the time we arrived, we were the only customers on the grounds so any excuse of them being overwhelmed or busy was simply out of the question. As much as we wanted some free-range lamb, we want even more to have enjoyable human interactions with small business owners in the area and support local enterprises. Inasmuch as I try to avoid corporate, industrially produced meat, I could not, in all sincerity, support this business. The Islamic ethic of comportment was sadly not on display at Nature's Bounty and I implore both my fellow Muslims and brothers and sisters in humanity to tread with caution -- if an ethical alternative meat source is what you seek, then perhaps the search continues. read more

We've been coming here for 2 years and have yet to be disappointed in their quality of meat. The chicken is unlike any other in freshness, taste, and price!!! I can no longer buy grocery store chicken. Their duck is fantastic too. read more

Best place for fresh and clean Goat meat .... there two guys are awesome.they are doing great job at all the time and Boss also great ..100% recommendation.... read more

Nature's bounty,is the best halal meat slaughter ,it's very clean and very good fresh lamb,goat.if you want fresh meat ,try this place nothing to loose You well be happy at the end of the day. read more

We drive over an and hour and a half every weekend to come here and get our meat. Be sure to call in early to reserve it because they go through their animals pretty fast. Which is a good thing to me! Everything is very sanitary and kept clean which is very important! Remember halal meat is clean meat! Friendly staff! read more

Really enjoyed the service, it was an amazing sight seeing the owner carrying and showing my friends kid around the barn. It made our day, read more

Nature's Bounty - Very impressed by the service and it was a beautiful sight to see the owner Carrying and showing the kids the barn. - Butcher Near Me - Vacaville, California

This is my probably favorite place for fresh chicken and fresh lamb, love their service and they did a good job! Place is so nice and they are super fast! I would highly recommend this place! read more

Ahmad at Nature's Bounty is a real professional that knows his stuff and loves his job. He was great to work with. We bought a sheep (got to pick it out ourselves) and he gave us advice on which was best to go with. Anyway, I love meat especially hallal so I went ahead with the order. He cut them for us on the spot (takes 20-30 minutes) in whatever size or shape I wanted (steak cuts of course!) On the way out I picked up a jar of local honey - VERY DELICIOUS. I will certainly be coming here again when my freezer is empty. read more

I love this farm. Ahmed and his wife answer all my questions patiently. All the animals there are frolicking in the sun, eating grass and hay. It takes me two hours to get there but its worth it. Feels so good that you are supporting a small farm and the meat that you are getting was harvested with love and respect. The meat tastes so much better than the store bought ones. Plus it is full of nutrition that is lacking in factory farm meats. read more

Guess customer service deserves only 2 star and theor prices are 3 star and the meat is 4star.. overall a 3 star

Whenever I'm in town for family gatherings, this is our go-to place for all things meat. My mom always felt lamb was an acquired taste. But after taking a flyer on some lamb here, it has transformed into an almost insatiable craving. There's also something to be said of making fried chicken with personally selected fresh meat. Before coming here, my family had never gotten its meat from a farm. But they were extremely courteous to some first timers and made the experience seamless. The fact that it's almost July 4th has me debating a quick trip over. read more

Very good place to buy 100% quality, fresh halal meat!! I got a fresh goat from here and the meat was awesome. None of the Halal shops in my area sell comparable meat. When Ahmad asked me if I am a Hindu, I didn't realize why but when I said 'Yes', he asked his helpers to stop and clean the cutting machine thoroughly before they cut the goat. In about 45 mins, a fresh Goat was ready to cook!!! Very Clean & Professional!! read more

I discovered these guys during the Totally Local Farmers Market last summer. I was very excited to see a source of quality meats in my area. I placed an order for lamb chops, and was very disappointed. The butchering was sloppy. The chops were uneven, irregularly shaped, and gristly. They weren't cheap, either. After reading all these great reviews, I was certainly hoping for higher quality. read more

I finally had a chance to go over to NBMeats and I wonder why I waited so long. I've been previously going to Berkeley to get my halal meat and now I found a great place here in Vacaville. The sheep and lambs are grass fed, which makes the meat succulent, delicious and very tasty. I cooked some chops and couldn't stop eating them. The prices are reasonable and the quality is excellent. While there, I met Ali, who answered all my questions and showed me the goats, sheep and chickens and how they're prepared. The facility is clean and Ahmad did a great job cutting and packing up all my chicken and lamb. I can't wait to go back, I didn't realize that they had eggs and honey too, I'll have to get some the next time I go, which will be soon! read more

We bought 2 goats, 10 chickens at the bounty few months back. The place is very clean, beautiful and well managed. The customer service was perfect. The staff were very helpful and cooperative. Moreover the owners wife who was at the front she was more generous, kind , loving , ready to help the customers. I would give a 5 star and definitely I am going back. I would recommend others to go coz that place is very clean, u get variety of meat over there and organic read more

This is how business should be run.... FRIENDLY and RESPECTFUL...Ahmad (owner/staff) SENSITIVE to our needs. Patient to show us around, Exceptionally CLEAN for an abbatoir. Meat was treated with utmost care and attention to meet the standard for food safety and handling. Conveniently located off I-80 Take your business to Nature's Bounty.. for QUALITY Meat, Poultry, Fresh eggs and Local Honey. Ahmad is waiting. read more

There aren't many places where you can get farm fresh meat. This is the only local farm around that has high standards- clean, organized, professional, friendly. I love their lamb, goat, and chicken. Really great quality, juicy, tender, fresh meat. I feel like meat I get from the grocery store is slimy, has too many chemicals, and a strong odor. I don't want to feed my husband or children anything less than the kind of meat this place produces. This place is wonderful and I feel good about what I am feeding my family. read more

Nice serivce !! When u checked in Yelp u had discount ... Owner encourage to used Yelp discount really top notch able serivces ....happy to come back ..!! read more

My wife and I are new to the area. We were looking for a clean, all natural butcher to cut meat. We found it at nature's bounty! The service was excellent, they answered all of my questions and told me to bring the kiddos next time to see the farm. I was new to ordering such a large quantity, so they helped me through the different cuts and even told me how to prepare it if I was unsure. Once we received our 1/4 front calf, we bbq about 4 steaks and it was the best meat I had in a long time. All I did was salt and pepper and My children loved it and 3 out of the 4 asked for seconds. Tomorrow we are going back to nbmeats to purchase all natural eggs. I figure if there beef is so good, there eggs are probably better! My wife and I will continue to buy are meat here. They also offer goat, lamb and chicken. By the way, it is all fresh!. read more

Went there with my friends to get the whole because of our festival Dashin. We arrived there around 11.30am but got out of there around 6pm. People who came in after us left before us reason is they told me that they called our name but we couldn't hear it. But this 5 star is only for Jasmine otherwise would have been 4 starts just because of the wait time. And yes she was awesome. read more

Cleanest place, friendliest guys and well organized and well managed shop. The owner,Ahmed is a great man with a HEART! His wife is also good, but she's kinda CHEAP! We go there once every two months for chicken, lambs goats,etc... A great place, definitely recommend this to others. read more
