We decided to stop by this vendor after seeing a line at the Sunday Farmer's Market in Long Beach. You'll find 100% grassfed meat free of soy and corn. We first tried the Korean Short Ribs and were so impressed with the cut and taste. After grabbing a brochure, we discovered that you can purchase larger quantities of the short ribs, with a bit of a discount, online. If you order online, you can pick up at the various farmers markets that they service. I recently ordered the chicken ultimate freezer filler online. There was an online sale offering $10 off a 10lb box of various cuts. My boxed contained a whole chicken, thighs, ground chicken, and chicken breast. I personally liked the cuts I received. Overall, the Korean Short Ribs are worth purchasing. The chicken was a bit pricey but can be worth it when you consider the quality. read more

I purchased some lamb kabobs and a couple ribeye steaks at the local farmers market recently. The lamb was delicious but the Ribeye's I'm afraid to say were probably the worst, toughest steaks I have ever cooked and expensive. I wanted to support California business, Won't be buying from BRD again. read more

I've been buying bacon every week at my local farmers market from these people for years now. I have no idea what happened, but around 6 months ago the quality has dropped off considerably. The cuts are atrocious and often have dangling pieces hanging off each strip. The taste is also much much less flavorful. This bacon used to melt in my mouth, now it just tastes like chewy cardboard. I am not exaggerating when I say that I just made a full breakfast sandwich using this bacon, took one bite, and threw the entire thing in the trash. Solely because of how bad the bacon was. The people are always very friendly and I want to patronize these types of businesses. But something needs to change (or go back to the way it was) to get my business back. The taste of this new bacon has been truly awful. read more

The ground chicken was okay but the thighs have an excessive amount of very thick skin. They leave on an entire flap that covers the underside of the thigh. You basically get three thighs for the price of 4 or 5 elsewhere read more

BRD has the best meat in the south bay . Every week we stock up on steaks ground beef or bison and organs. We also like their bacon chicken and ox tail. I was introduced to BRD last Nov at the Torrance farmers market. Its the only place I'll get my meat from now. Grass fed and hormone free. Not only is the meat good but the guys working there are helpful and honest about their products. I've never had a bad experience. Do yourself a favor and check them out. Ask about the bison fries. My favorite read more

Fantastic grass fed. Nice people too. Love buy direct ranch. Thank you for the fantastic flank steak delivered to mariners church farmers market. I am on such a restricted diet and I am so grateful for your excellent meat and reliable service. read more

Starting with Emily that answered the phone, I was very impressed about her knowledge, how quick she answered my questions, her patience with me, and her wonderful customer service!! This days you don't find young people that are polite, happy of what they do for a living and most of all she made me feel welcome and invited me to call the company any time if I have a questions or concerns. Great Customer Service, very clear explanation about their products that they offered . She definitely is a valuable employee for Buy Ranch Direct. I give Buy Ranch Direct a 10 for their fabulous Customer Service and the great quality of their products. Emily explained very clearly to me that is the best that I can buy and be safe without worrying about antibiotics, or GMO products. I got what I needed from Buy Ranch Direct for all the dishes I am planning to do. They had everything in stock, they are very pleasant and happy to serve their customers. This is only the beginning, I will write another review when I cook their products today Saturday 8/24. Thank you Buy Ranch Direct for having a safe quality of products that I don't have to worry about any toxic chemicals in our food. read more

I am so happy I found this place! Their products and service are SO wonderful. Such nice people to work with too! They have a fantastic selection of delicious meats. Our favorites are bacon, turkey sausage, and Elk & Pork Salami. I love that they are available at different locations, including down the street from my home. Thanks, BRD! I'm so thankful to be your customer! read more

I have been buying my meat products exclusively from BRD for 2+ years now and I couldn't be happier with their products or service. BRD meat products are the cleanest source of grass fed/finished meat I have been able to find. Having a source of properly raised grass fed/finished meat that has NOT been treated with any shots, steroids, hormones or antibiotics makes me sleep good at night. Thank you to the BRD team for providing such a high quality product for people who truly care about their food and nutrition. read more

I was buying meat from Belcampo so often until I found this place. Amazing grassfed and finished meats and I will usually place the order early in the week and pick it up Sunday at the Long Beach Farmers market. I have gotten their 25lb beef freezer filler which was absolutely awesome and lasted me such a long time. I've grilled their meats, smoked them, put them into stews and soups, you name it. The quality cannot be beat. Give them a try! read more

So great! We are so glad we tried this. I got the sampler pack and then the beef freezer pack for my husband for Father's Day! We tried a different company two years ago and just weren't that impressed. I am shocked at the quality!!!! We love it so far! We have cooked the ground beef, The sirloin and the flat iron steak! read more

I am beyond thrilled that I found BRD. Like one of the earlier reviews said, I had given up eating meat because of the horrible erosion of our US food supply system, chemicals, soy & corn feed, inhumane processing (long transport where the animals stress hormone are through the roof and the consumer ends up injesting that pain & suffering). We stumbled upon BRD at farmers market in West LA and met the owner. He runs his business raising wild animals the way it was meant to be and told me he personally transports the animals to processing to be sure it is as human as possible. We saw his son at the Long Beach market and he confirmed the same. We are now members, I can eat meat again. From the beef to the chicken to the sausage, it is all outstanding! No more Whole Foods and spending our hard earned $ supporting Amazon and their quest to ruin the last of the small farmers in the US. Thank you BDR for keeping the faith and building an honest business the way it used to be! read more

Best grass fed meat so far. Make it a habit to order and pick up at the Mar Vista farmers market every 2 weeks. Chicken and pork tasty too. The bacon and Italian sausages best ever tasted in my life. read more

These folks are amazing! I've been buying meat from them for a couple of years. They're at a bunch of the farmers markets around LA. You can order ahead and pick up your order from them at the farmers market, or you can choose from a pretty diverse selection that they always have at the market. They've got this amazing mangalitsa pork belly, it's super rich. This last time I ordered online, I placed my order well after their deadline for the Sunday farmers market, and they STILL got everything ready for me! Can't believe how fast and considerate they all are. read more

Buy Ranch Direct has more than beef! I'm thrilled to be able to buy pork, especially pork tenderloin that is pasture raised and grass fed! I can't get that in Norcal, where I live. I've been buying grass fed for about 8 or 10 years now. Not all grass fed is grass finished, but Buy Ranch Direct is. If you want beef, pork, etc. that tastes fabulous, you must stop by the booth at Irvine farmers market on Saturday. I travel to get there, and it is sooo worth it! read more

Tried their products at the Mar Vista farmers market. I wish I trusted my I stinky fro the first impression. The older gentlemen with a beard who was the boss was arrogant. I asked about the casing and he just looked at me and said the meat was hung to dry and had no casing. Looked like it was a cellulose that can be taken off. Anyway I still wanted to try it so asked for their non-pork products a day handed two a lamb and an invited salami. I went home and saw it was pork, as it was a farmers market I hr to wait a week. I went back and spoke with him and he stared and said it wears my fault and that there is nothing he could do. Keep in mind you cannot select the salami they have to give it yo you from the bar k of the tent. So he asked what I wanted so asked if they will just replace it so then told too bad you bought it and he did not know me. Great customer service right?! I got upset and then he told me that now he would not do anything to help with my attitude. A person who literally does not know how sausage/salami is made. Yes I should have read the ingredients but I forgot my glasses so I trusted them. But blame is on both sides. Please for heavens sake do not purchase anything fro them. FYI, I did try the lamb salami and it was ok and not worth it. read more

Kinda mediocre cuts. Expensive cost with cheap cuts. A lot of ground meats and stew meat. At over $10 a lb, it wouldve been nice to see a good cut of meat here or there. Pretty disappointed. Will probably go with Butcher Box next time read more

It was a convenient way to get meat during this Covid-19 pandemic. Fast delivery, descent packaging. Unfortunately the meat was ok. Over priced to be honest. Wasn't worth it. read more

I would give 10 stars as the wonderful people at BDR saved my Xmas dinner. On Xmas Eve morning Donna call me bright and early in response to my panicked email of needing a replace Ham for Xmas dinner. Donna immediately went to the warehouse in search of a replacement Ham. Can't explain why as my family would be devastated at this delemina I was in however BDR came to my rescue not only replaced my ham with a larger one and offered me a discount I CAN'T express how amazing they treated me my families xmas dinner was saved . The owner Jeff and Donna are so kind and I cant believe a business would be so caring to go out of there way and respond so quickly let alone to say there products are out of this world. I know when I feed my family with BDR products I'm giving them great tasting meals that are raised humanely and healthy. Sincerely and forever customers read more

If they give you the wrong product they will not correct their mistake. So buyer beware, check your order carefully. The meat comes from various ranches and it is VERY INCONSISTENT IN THE QUALITY butchering. Some packs of meat are very sloppy and contain fragments of bone and gristle where others are trimmed well. Mind you - they all cost the same....rather expensive price per pound. To charge a premium, product should be better. I'd look for a more consistent source with a better attitude than the main guy in OC has. (Cindy is awesome) read more

These are the guys to go to for truly organic, sustainable, grass-raised meats...from right here in California. I discovered them at my local farmer's market (Saturdays they're in Torrance, Sundays in Mar Vista, contact them for others). The animals and the land are respected, unlike with big agribusiness. The quality is outstanding and you're supporting an ethical small farm...it should all be done like this. Highly recommended. read more

I've been a customer for a while. You joint to get a discount on products and pay an annual fee - about $100 - and then the discounts pay you back. You place an order online by Thursday night and get your products at the Farmer's Market on Saturday or whatever day that market is open. For us it's Saturday at Irvine Ranch Market. They have a website where you can pre-order what you want delivered. Everything with a few exceptions like Jerky is delivered frozen. They have an extensive menu that runs from Bison to beef and pork, chicken, and lamb - and much more. The quality of the meats is as advertised, the best we've ever had in almost 100% of the cases. You can't beat the taste of truly pasture -raised beef, pork, and chicken. You don't realize how much factory-farming has compromised our taste buds until you actually eat something that is raised correctly and humanely. When you got to the market and meet the guys to collect your products they are very friendly and helpful, very generous on getting your order right and sending you a receipt via email. Their website is "buyranchdirect.com" and they've invested a lot of time trying to make this useful to members. Now here's where they need some definite work - communication. You pre-order something online for pickup and they don't have it, so they email back and ask you if you would take something else. You answer immediately and tell them to cancel your pre-order if they don't have what you want - NO ANSWER. NOTHING. Was my order cancelled? I don't know. They do this all the time and it's annoying and I get maybe they don't have enough people - maybe Brandon is having to do all of this himself (running around like a one-armed paperhanger) - but when I got the wrong cut of roast on an order and didn't realize it until I got home and brought it out of the freezer to thaw a few days later, I communicated with them via their email and no response. So the next Saturday I asked at the Irvine Market and they said, "Oh yeah, we got it. We'll answer it." And never did. NOTHING. No, "Hey, we got your email and will respond shortly." and no resolution. JUST BLANK AIR. So just to make sure, I sent them several more emails and sure enough, NO ANSWER. Now remember I know they're getting my emails. They're not coming back. I confirmed they received it by talking to the folks at the Farmer's Market so not a matter of my emails getting lost in cyberspace. And when I called I got "leave a message" so I declined that solution because I already has about 4 emails waiting. And remember they signed me up as a member - so I know they have my information. So great MUST HAVE product, and very poor communication which I hope improves in the future. read more

My whole family loves their meat. I've never seen my kids eat up pork chops so fast! The difference between their meat and store bought meat is amazing and noticeable. I'm also so impressed with their very friendly and helpful customer service. I'm so happy to support their business and to source meat for my family from such a great place. Thank you! read more

Love this place. Always a good variety of meats. The bacon is the best around. Love all their meats!!

We have loved everything we have ordered. When we had it delivered, everything was still completely frozen. We have ordered the chicken thighs, the ground bison, the bacon, and a beef freezer filler and everything was amazing. We are not sure we will be able to go back to grocery store meat. Looking forward to future orders! read more

If there were more stars to give I would! First off the product is undeniably the best quality, flavor, variety of meat I've ever had including A5, Wagu, Chianina beef. Second, this is a family and they treat you like family. Always a smile and friendly at the Long Beach Marina Drive Farmer's Market and when I called with a request to pick-up rather that ship (and pay for shipping) for a promotional Box, not only did they try to solve the problem for me on the spot but modify their website to make sure others would have the same option and then CALLED me on their day off to make sure everything had gone smoothly. DONNA-- you rock and are a shining example of what it means to care about your business and your customers, paying it forward, all the things. BUY RANCH DIRECT FOREVER! read more

Went to the farmers market in Long Beach 10/30/2016, happened to see this booth that sold grass feed, free roaming, no hormones, meats such as cattle, bison, chicken, turkey, pork etc. since I had given up eating meats due to the horrible chemicals that are added in our meats that are sold in our regular markets, I decided to buy ground beef, Hamburger patties, ground bison, pork chops, chicken, WOW was I happy with the smell of the pork and hamburger patties, I hope to start introducing beef back into my diet, only if I can continue to buy from this honest family own company, who does not use any chemicals or other addictive to keep the shelf life longer. read more

We have tried the pork chop and shoulder, ground beef, bison flank steak (5*), and chicken. This is the third farm that my family and I have tried. We are becoming extremely conscious about where we source our meat so you cam be sure I askes Brandon all the right questions. They have acres of grass to feed and finish their animals. Dont be fooled by "grass fed" anymore...it needs to be finished, meaning grass and nothing else from beginning to end. His farming practices sound legit. I asked him about the slaughterhouse and butcher he uses. He was knowledgeable about every step that his animals go through to get to my table. He doesnt even recommend a bulk purchase because he cycles every 2 weeks. Why would i want to fill a freezer, when i can get fresh cuts weekly? That's right, Brandon, thanks! So we are now heading back to the LB farmers market for our 3rd purchase, cant wait to see what we get. Pork is delish, and i dont tend to eat pork regularly. We bought a chop to taste test, just salt and pepper. And, WOW, that was some tender meat! The bison flank we used in pho, as thin slices to cook in broth and man...SO good!!! AND, his prices are awesome! Way bettet than the "deal" I was getting at another farm. They ranged btw $12-25/lb depending on the meat. Diamond Mtn Ranch is $5.50/lb for whole chicken and around $10-12/lb for the beef and pork. Are you kidding me? SOLD! So glad we found Brandon's family farm! If you care about where your meat comes from, this is the farm you want!! read more
