Jones Farm Market LLC in Saranac is a hometown butcher that sells by the half and whole, and retail…read morecuts. The store has a good selection of pre-packaged beef and pork, frozen. Some of it is pre-cooked (pulled pork, for example), but most of it is ready for a home cook. They also carry some baked goods, jams, hot sauces, deli meat and cheese, and sweets. This butcher is quite out of the way for my family, but it is a favorite for its quality and value. When we were there during the week of Christmas, they were busy with lots of folks stocking up refrigerators and freezers and people buying gift certificates and gifts. A big favorite of our family is their beef jerky. They carry several types, sweeter barbecue, spicy, and it is fast mover based on the customers we saw. Most of it is less chewy than other butchers in the area, so it's worth trying before you buy to make sure you like it. It was also nice to get sliced cheese (Lipari) to have ready for the holiday tables and leftover sandwiches. If you are looking for something specific or want a large order, call ahead. They will pull the order for you and be ready with it when you arrive. This makes it easier on everyone! Also, they will vacuum seal almost anything so that it lasts longer in a cooler or freezer. Some places won't do this, so it is great service. It can get crowded, but the crowd and the service are friendly. When it's crowded, it may move slowly, but it will be worth it, especially to support a small, local business that provides an important food-based business for the community.

My review is about something that happened several years ago . I used to do Hig Roast for hire . I…read morefriend wanted to have me do one for his family reunion . He insisted on going through them for the pig . The day before the event i went and picked it up . They had skinned it left the kidneys in it . As im taking the kidneys out i spread open the ribs and inside on each side were 2 football size spots of green nasty rotting flesh . I quickly called the shop on my home phone and my friend on my cell . Some one answers the shop phone . I explained the problem. And asked what their solution to this was i was informed they were closed and therefor could do nothing that night . I asked the person on the phone if they would take my number and have the owner call me back . He said he wouldnt do that . I asked why . His response was to inform me that he was the owner and hung up on me . I had to take the rotting pig carcass back to them they did replace it the next day . But as anyone that has ever done or attended a pig roast it takes a long time to cook a whole pig . So the event was ruined and they had a freezer full of roasted pork to deal with . I will never buy anything from them again .

I bought two pieces of turkey jerky and it was very delicious I also purchased some ham bones for my dog which she just loved very country little place it also has some things to go like ham ham slices , different sausages.

Breakfast is served anytime they're open, which is cool since it's my favorite meal. Nate and I were in the area running an errand a few months ago, so we stopped in for lunch. We got the bratwurst sandwich to split. It was quite hefty, with two thick bratwurst patties, sauerkraut, and stone ground mustard on a pretzel bun. It's served with fries that are seasoned and almost beer battered. I think I was expecting it to be amazing with how awesome it looked, so I was a bit disappointed when it fell a little flat. It was just really lacking in flavor for me. The patties were juicy and cooked nicely, they just didn't have a lot of flavor. Then even the sauerkraut seemed like it was almost just braised cabbage, not a lot of that zingy sour flavor I like. I'd like to try a burger next time, or maybe breakfast - I saw a photo of the corned beef hash that looked so good! The two employees working were super friendly and kind, and one came out and checked on us as we were eating. If I lived closer I'd definitely go back soon to try something else. It might be a bit before I get back to Dokl's but I'd love to try the Cajun blue cheeseburger!

We weren't starving so we decided to split their breakfast burrito and subbed out the meat for chorizo (which is a menu suggestion). Dear mother this place is good. Even with a decent line, it came out quickly and excellently constructed. The burrito was grilled shut and wrapped tight. The ratios of sauce, egg avocado goodness and meat were spot on. It also came with a green sauce that was very chimichurri like. It gave it this great kick of freshness that took it over the top for the both of us. We also appreciated the bottles of hot sauce offered next to the napkin station. Keep an eye on their facebook for upcoming locations since they move around. Last but not least, they do in fact have several vegetarian options if you are not about that meat life.
