What a treasure! Take a step back in time when things were uncomplicated and slow paced. When I…read morewas in Ashland a few months back. I had an incredible VA country ham sandwich here. It was so simple and so good!! Now I'm back and I want the full Southern experience. The deli lunch special was pimento grilled sandwich, and I added VA ham! It was FABULOUS! Ordered Cherrwine soda, a bag of chips and a double chocolate ice cream sandwich all for $16! What an experience!! I didn't get any of their meats or other gourmet products, but this would be my go-to place if I lived nearby. I ate this on a picnic table outside the public library and got to take in the quiet downtown area. I very much enjoyed Ashland Meat Market and everything the town has to offer. Now I'm off to my meeting, then back to DCA then on to Boston. I am so glad I got to soak in an hour of the good life!

I ordered my Christmas eve ham from here over a month ago, on the phone when ordering i was…read moreEXTREMELY specific in saying (multiple times) that I needed a cured but UNSMOKED ham because I was planning on smoking it myself. They said they could do it (after i verified what i wanted a couple more times and was ASSURED that the ham would not be already smoked) so I placed the order. I went to pick it up today and this is a cured and ALREADY smoked ham. When I called to address the issue, the manager laughed at me and said "oh, well I guess we dont have what you wanted then" I now have to entirely change my plans AND disappoint my family on Christmas eve because I promised them all a home smoked ham for dinner. I wouldn't recommend ordering from here unless you want incompetence.

I did a double take when I was driving down Fitzwater Drive - wondering if they've been there for a while - as I don't recall ever seeing them before - so I asked how long they've been open. Lots of local meat options. I selected a package of their bacon and ground Chorizo. They have lots of other meat selections - steaks, all kinds of brats and sausages, pork products, and even some non-meat food offerings. Staff was very nice. Paid with Apple Pay. Service was prompt! Check them out! #NokesvilleMeats

This is a thumbs up, five yum review

LOVE Sylvanaqua. I met Chris at his booth at Forest Lakes farmers market last year and he has been…read moredelivering to my house since (delivery in cville is FREE!). I love that I've gotten to know him and I feel great about how he treats his animals. We started with just egg delivery, but now often get chicken, pork and grass-fed beef. He even found me one last ham a week before Christmas, and then promptly answered my frantic email on Christmas Eve for cooking instructions! His prices are cheaper than Whole Foods, and I trust his meats' quality and animals' welfare more than pre-packaged meat. I have been recommending Sylvanaqua Farms to anyone who will listen!

I love how you can get the echo friendly glass gallons that they sell lemonade and milk in. We bought the lemonade. The ice cream was also AMAZING!! It was so creamy and rich. Prices are so reasonable. You pay everything up at the counter before going into the animal farm area. They also have feed to give to the goats and llamas by the stalls. They have a great area with a sprinkler to cool off and many places to even sit and have have a picnic. Loved this place and we had a great time with our dogs as well

Take one look at the mouth-watering meats in the refrigerated glass case and you will find it difficult to choose. One can't find quality like this anywhere else.

There are many great selections and you will definitely be more than satisfied with the high quality, flavor and value of your purchase. The service here is friendly, helpful and consistently sensational! It is important to stop by often so that you don't miss out on some of the unique specialty items (made on site) that are not always available. Liverwurst is my wife's favorite. She said that it takes her back when her grandfather (from Germany) used to make it for her. I noticed that Belmont has a section of exotic meats available. I highly recommend Belmont Butchery!
