My friends held an indoor picnic (it started to rain that day) and I thought that a charcuterie…read moreboard would be fitting. I emailed on Tuesday for pick up on Saturday and Mimi responded pretty quickly. I ordered the Medium Charcuterie Board ($150), without nuts. Pick up went smoothly, I was instructed to keep it refrigerated until it actually came time to bring out the board to eat. They did give me a pack of crackers to go with the meats and cheeses but it wasn't enough and I had to go to the store to buy an extra box. The charcuterie board was a great hit with the party. A lot of people complimented it and it turned out so pretty. There was a good variety of meats and cheeses along with some fruit. There were also a couple mini tongs so that people wouldn't struggle to grab the pieces. A lot of people were impressed by the board so I'll be sure to come here again whenever I have another event that calls for a charcuterie board.

I really love the pre-prepared things in the deli their produce is very good as well. I like the fact that they have a bulk section.

Frazier Farms is almost the perfect grocery store. Grass-fed meat, wild caught fish, fresh local…read moreproduce, and tasty bread baked in-house: there is something here for everyone. Additionally, their sushi, smoothie bar and pre-made foods are top notch - they are MILES ahead of any of the "big" grocery stores. So the question is - if they are so great, why do they only have 4 stars on Yelp? One major reason is that they stretch their products. If you don't check the expiration date on every product you purchase, you will end up buying something months after it expired. I purchased a Brie-en-croute on sale for Super Bowl. I was so excited to try it. When I opened the box, the product had mold all over it. I looked at the expiration date and it was not supposed to expire for another week. Then I looked more closely. They had an expiration sticker that was on the box that had already passed, and then they put another sticker on top of that one with a different expiration date. That's not accidental - that's intentional. I definitely felt taken advantage of. Is it enough to make me stop shopping at Frazier Farms? Absolutely not. But, if this grocery outlet wants to improve, they need to look into why so many products on the shelves are expired. I understand not wanting to waste things. But you can't put new stickers on top of old stickers while selling a moldy product. I hope someone in management reads this review, and takes it seriously. I don't have time to go back to Fraziers every time I have to return an expired product. If that changes, I will change this review to 5 stars.

I love going to specialty stores for specific products, in my opinion the products are better curated and higher quality. This shop is my go-to for balsamic vinegars and their impressive gift boxes, containing four bottles of oils and vinegars. They're perfect for housewarmings or gifts for cooking enthusiasts. Before buying, you can sample every oil and vinegar they offer. My latest obsession has been fruit vinegars and soda water, prompting me to purchase several bottles of white sweet vinegars to create my own flavored beverages.

Delicious meat pies!…read more I picked up these pies at their location in the Escondido Auto Park area. They have parking out front but it looked like a doozy with its incline into the dirt so I just drove around looking for street parking. I do not recommend trying if you have a lowered car. I did not put in an order but was glad to hear that they had many of their items available frozen. They are expensive so expect that. The pies are a decent size with generous fillings. My favorites were the Sausage Rolls & the Minced Meat & Cheese, tasty! Since I got them frozen, she gave me a rundown of how to heat up the pies & they came out perfectly. The directions are online too.

I've been researching them a great deal lately and had a fairly good idea of what I was looking for. I came into the store on a Saturday back in April and described what I was on the hunt for: Fruit forward, vibrant, with a little spice. The very nice man working there that afternoon suggested several wines, including the 2023 Roar Rosella's Vineyard from Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. I was sold. The wine made it back safe and sound to South Carolina. Just opened it up this afternoon. In a word: perfect. The wine is everything he described it to me. Thankful for his time and attention.
