Plato Dale Farm is a small family farm that specializes in grassfed beef, pasture raised chickens…read moreand also sells high quality vegetables and fruits. You can often find them at various farmer's markets. During the wintertime, you can find them at Horsefeathers Winter Market, North Tonawanda and a few other locations (listed on their web site). They also offer a variety of CSA's and if you're looking to buy 200lb worth of cow to last you the whole winter, summer, year or whatever; they would be some of the best local purveyors to get it from. Prices are higher than your typical supermarket ground beef, but you get what you pay for with very succulent ground beef. I find grassfed beef has a bit of a different taste and prefer it, so whenever convenient I buy my burgers from these guys. The farm also supplies a good amount of beef for Lloyd Taco Trucks as well as tomatillos, cilantro and other veggies. The people who run the farm and their staff are superbly friendly. Next time you see these guys at a farmers market, I highly recommend trying some of their products! I'd love to read some more reviews from people who have tried their CSAs as well.

Kent Miller is what every farmer should be: passionate about his craft, passionate about his food,…read moreand passionate about helping his "customers" - i.e. his neighbors, friends, and fellow WNYers, find healthy, delicious, sustainable food. Kent and the gang, aka Plato Dale and the Sunshine Kids, can be seen regularly at Horsefeathers and Farmers and Artisans in the winter, and all over town during the growing season. The farm offers shares of vegetables and meat (including grass fed jersey cows and other breeds on occasion) and pick up points from North Tonawanda to West Seneca and downtown Buffalo to Arcade. We've purchased a half cow from the farm, as well as loads of produce. They even have farm friends in Florida and supply organic citrus around the holidays (Hint: your oranges should not be perfectly orange and round. They should be a little uglier.) If you aren't convinced by my own enthusiasm, you might be convinced by the fact that several great Buffalo restaurateurs including Peter & Chris of Lloyd's and Steve Gedra of Black Sheep (and formerly of Bistro Europa) regularly supply from Plato Dale. These are heavy hitters and a great testament to the quality and deliciousness of Kent's food. My one complaint, to be fair and unbiased in my review, is the pricey eggs the farm produces. But they're offset by the price-to-quality ratio of everything else they grow and sell, so, water under the bridge!! If you're looking for a local supplier of farm fresh food, Plato Dale should be your first stop.

Duck eggs! Huge and delicious! Laid by the golden ducks of Crown Hill Farm!…read more A new experience for me. No need to wash them. Or refrigerate. Once they are washed with the water, bacteria can develop on the shell. Duck eggs have an outer shell called the bloom which naturally protects the egg.

They have always done an excellent job and provided fantastic, friendly service at reasonable prices. They always get the job done quickly, vacuum pack our meats and will make the sausages just the way you like them with the right amount of spices.

Be sure to call in advance before bringing your deer, as they have a limited number of deer they can take, but they will start making a list for how many deer they can take. If hunting in the southern tier, a worthwhile place for your deer to be butchered.

Walking into the 'meat shed' one finds a more gentle world with often a crockpot of samples to try, coffee, just picked vegetables and always an interesting conversation with Darryl on food and health, often accompanied with a book recommendation. Anyone who has not raised their own animals for food nor run their own farm with the constant need for upkeep and money, repairing damage from storms and following strict rules for quality practices can critique his older equipment but I wouldn't trade the experience. A small town family with a small town farm who is concerned over the care and processing of their product will continue to have my vote. Have had his beef, pork, sausage, ham, chickens, eggs and have been very pleased. On those two days he is open, it is busy with customers who have been going there for many years, just engage one of them and they will all tell you their favorites.
