Awesome butcher shop! They have goodies like rendered duck, chicken, beef and lamb fats, bone…read morebroth, lamb kidney, they were out of liver and heart but said they carried it. Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

The store is clean, the displays are good, and the fridges/freezers stocked well. Products are labeled and priced clearly. The store and cash is set up to allow flow and movement of customers. (Even though only 3 people are allowed in at a time, one woman barged in front of me in line to be served. But hey, that''s Victoria. I do hope the staff can stay alert and tell who is really next in line.. but I'll let that one go today.) The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable about cuts and cooking tips and have good manners which is a true bonus these days. A couple times I have called my order in and picked it up later. The orders were correctly done and priced, and I've been happy with every product I've tried. I have to admit I've decreased my consumption of meat in last 2 yrs. But, I feel better supporting local venues (not bulk stores) and local farmers. They have more than meat too - the mixed olives are fantastic.

I ordered 8 lbs of beef short ribs a day in advance and relayed they will be smoked on a Kamado Joe…read moreBBQ. I specifically stated that the ribs be large (Texas style). The next day I was excited to purchase my order. I paid $122.76, which is a higher than average price, considering I don't mind paying a bit extra for animals that are naturally raised with 'no antibiotics or hormones, free range, pastured and fed a biologically appropriate diet', and, we certainly support our local community. The following day, my husband was quite excited to season the ribs. Upon opening the package, we found the ribs to be extremely fatty and silver skin still on them. The ribs were also cut individually instead of two slabs of four ribs. What? Staff working at Farm & Field Butchers should be professional and extremely well-versed in the cuts of meat and what should or should not come off, as well as adhering to customers' requests. I have purchased previous cuts of meat from them - e.g. Rib Eye Steaks - which were also extremely fatty. Their cuts of meat are just loaded with fat, and, you are actually paying 30% of the total on simply 'fat'. Save your money people. Please go anywhere else but here... You will be disappointed, as we have been on several occasions. We are steering clear of this business in future. Tired of being disappointed and paying top dollar for mediocre product full of fat.

We are regulars here and can't seem to want to buy our meat from anywhere else…read more We like to buy the pepperoni sticks, packaged sliced meat, steak, and cheeses. During the holidays we do the turkey orders and they are always popular with our family! But we don't just buy meat for us, we also buy meat for our cats. The owner, Lloyd, supplies us with duck that has been ground into cubes so that we can give it to our cats. Because of the raw food, I have been able to take one of our cats off medication for pancreatitis. If you've never been to the meat shop, be ready for a lineup. It is always busy in there, but busy for a reason. The meats are high quality and come from local farms. The animals are ethically raised.

So- if you are shopping for your family and they eat meat, you can stop at this place get meat for your family and get veggie options for yourself. 2) they only sell meat that comes from animals that had a happy life and weren't chained in a tiny location for all their lives. 3) they have amazing olives! Believe me- I am from Mediterranean region and olives from this place makes me feel home 4) friendliest people ever. I feel valued and cared as a customer whenever I visit this place.

We had seen the "Butcher" and "open"sign and thought, let's give it a go (especially being that it was 6:50 on Christmas Eve and we had nothing planned for dinner the next night!) We were warmly greeted by the owner, who directed us to the seafood choices, which I had inquired about. However, upon seeing all of the special middle-eastern items they had (in addition to a wide selection of typical butcher-shop items at very decent rates), we decided to go that direction. The owner was friendly and outgoing and helped us put together a collection of items for our special dinner including, chicken shwarma, kabobs, Iranian bread, some feta (which he shared with me how to fry up!), some pickles, and baklava for dessert. We loved our experience and can't wait to cook up all this amazing food for our special holiday dinner! If you live nearby--go in and give them a try--support you local butcher, get great meat at a really good price. And, maybe, even try something new!!
