Farmer George Meats

Jim Fields

Fresh Cut Meats on Friday and Saturday but we bought 3 Chuck Roasts that were not frozen. If they taste as good as they look they will be wonderful. I also bought a package of frog legs!😊

Great customer service. Just like the old butcher shops I remember as a kid growing up in Oregon. It is amazing the variety of meats they sell here. They also have a huge assortment of bones and chews that my dog loves - at very reasonable prices. I also appreciate the fact that this business greatly supports the youth farming program, 4-H! Thank you!

I was about to make my first pork belly dish, only to discover before I was started putting my mise en place in place that I'd left the fresh, thawed pork belly in the fridge at least two too many days. Farmer George's is the only place in town I know of that sells unsliced pork belly and I hurried over there. On this visit, I was acknowledged fairly quickly by a lady behind the counter, which I appreciated. I had already seen pork belly in the meat case and told her how much I needed, and that's how much she cut. So, Farmer George's saved dinner (the stir-fry dish turned out great) but although the lady was friendly, to provide better customer service she should have asked me if I wanted the skin removed. And since this was my first time buying pork belly from a butcher, I didn't know to ask since the pork belly that went bad had been bought fully trimmed. When I opened the package at home, the pork skin had nipples of one side and a layer of skin on the other side. I trimmed it all off as best as I could figure out. Only today did I look at videos which taught me how it could have been done more efficiently. So, that lapse in customer service earns Farmer George 3 stars, which is a higher rating than I gave them in my first review. But I'm more willing to visit them again to check out their other meats, like their popular skirt steak--a beef cut I dearly love.

After my first and second visit here I need to give my thoughts. 2nd visit. I wanted a WHOLE pork shoulder which on my first visit was assured they would have next weekend. So I asked for a whole shoulder. It was obvious when produced it was not. It was the butt end taken from a vacumn sealed bag of two. After convincing them that when I said WHOLE sholder I meant WHOLE shoulder. For those unfamiliar a whole shoulder consists of the butt end and pinic ham. They then said they could special order one for next weekend. I was smoking this the next day. So I purchased the butt. I was happy with the cook. It was good but not great. I had asked them the type of pork. I.e. Berkshire etc. They said just what ever the local farms they purchase from grow. I began wondering later if this was locally sourced, would it be vacumn packaged in sets of two? Perhaps but seems like they may get it from regular pork wholesalers. Second issue. I also purchased two one pound packages of their Lean Grass Fed ground beef. FDA says lean needs to be at least 90% lean. I fried up 3 burgers from one of the one pound packages. Although hard to really see in the photo, that is a lot of grease/fat for one pound of ground beef. I normaly buy either 90 or 93 percent ground beef from other places. Never have anything like this amount of fat. Third issue. The meat is weighed at checkout. The two came to 2.02 pounds. Weighing on my very accurate digital scale at home they came to 2.02. Ok what about the packaging? When removed and weighed the double wrapped wrapping from one package weighs 0.5 oz. So perhaps then a full ounce for both packages? They need to tare the packaging. Perhaps this even violates state rules? Forth issue. One the first visit April 13th I purchesed package of Potato Sausage. I now see the dates on the label. Looks like it has been in the freezer for over three months. Seems too long. I will update after I cook this later this week.
