I purchased half a side of beef (466 lbs hanging weight) from a local rancher where the meat was…read moreprocessed at C Roy and Sons Packers. As part of their process, C Roys dry ages the meat fourteen days before processing it, which tenderizes the meat and then cuts/packages the meat per the customers personal desires which in my case was to have a steak heavy package. Aside from the numerous steaks I received, my package also included roasts, stewing meat, ground beef, Brisquet and soup bones where I am probably forgetting some of the other cuts. Each cut of meat was packaged individually with cut/date/weight info on the packaging where the ground beef was packaged in 1 lb tubes per my instructions. Realtive to the custom nature of their processing, my order included the types of steak I was looking for, thickness of the cuts of meats, bone in bone out, which roasts I wanted, stewing meat over being included in ground beef, inclusion of soup bones in order, weight of the ground beef tubes and other assorted details. This custom processing was very important to me as my wife and I are empty nesters where we share steaks and eat smaller portions. Overall I couldn't be more pleased with the process of dealing with C Roys and of buying my meat local and avoiding the crap the meat industry puts in store bought beef to include steroids and antibiotics. Total cost of the beef purchase and processing was roughly $6 lb based on the end amount of processed meat which is definately budget friendly way of getting your meat provided you have a big freezer. Considering the cost for steaks these days and the quality of the meat I received and custom nature of this business I highly recommend going this route where C Roys and Sons is a great processing option. Two thumbs up and a hearty five Stars where I will definately be returning to C Roys and Sons in the future!

It is fact the reason behind Yale's baloney festival which the town has every year. Can't really say much about the business itself from my standpoint but the locals just love it. Get yourself some sandwich ring baloney you will really like it. I have also now that I think of it had their smoked hot dogs and they were very good too.

Butter... a little salt...Mmmmm... I had to stop in here recently in search of mini-pumpkins/gourds and I was able to pick through the bins and find exactly what I needed. The nice "farm man" saw that I was on a mission and wheeled out more boxes of the orange mini's. That was a nice thing for him to do and I appreciated the great customer service. If you need anything locally grown and in season this is a great place to check in.

The best by far is their tangos! A small donut shaped fruit, which can almost be described as a mix of a peach and a mango. Nonetheless, it is absolutely delicious. They have lots of other produce as well, and very decently priced! Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable too. I still make it a point to make a trip out here every summer so I can have tangos!

Maple Creek Farm is a certified organic CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) which means there's a…read moredirect farmer-consumer relationship. I joined Maple Creek's CSA last month and because I started late, the owners gave me a prorated price. I've been very happy with the produce I've received. I know it has been a difficult growing season so far this year, but the output has been satisfactory. I think as late summer and fall approach, the take-home amounts will increase. Make no mistake, I don't do any of the farming, I simply pay for the produce to be delivered. The owners send a weekly email with an idea of what you will get in your share for the week, and include ideas on how to prepare/preserve some of the items. This has been really helpful when presented with things I never saw before, like Kohlrabi! The farm has been growing organic for 16 years now. It's great to see affordable organic produce in MI, especially as we see other aspects of our economy deteriorating. One of the farmers, Michelle, can often be found at the Royal Oak Farmers Market on (most) Saturday mornings at the Maple Creek Farm stand.

Don was very responsive to email, and sent us multiple proofs for our custom labels. He also accommodated our special request for empty self-sealing bear containers and extra custom labels so we could fill them ourselves with jelly bellies.

I highly recommend the team over at Windmill HIll Farm.

You will find your typically fruits and vegetables but they often have a tons of items that you may not be able to get from a Kroger like longans, lychee nut, rambutan, guanabana soursop, and more! My only concern is that it can be hard to maneuver through the aisles when it is very crowded, plus you have staff working as well so things can get pretty tight but it's well worth it for all that savings and great finds you get. I'm always shocked by how little my cost is when I leave the register. The environment may not be for everyone but I think it's 100% worth checking out at least once if you're in the area.
