They serve a large loyal customer base of discriminating consumers! The meats are of the highest quality, and are very reasonably priced. On this day, I found them to be less expensive than TOPS for the same cuts of meat. They stock their sausages and meat sticks in their meat store as well as all the ingredients to make your own sausages at home. They're well known for their butchering service as well as custom bulk orders. I found the facilities to be extremely well stocked with tasty and nutritious foods. On the day that we visited, Falconer Meats was hosting an event called "MEAT US IN THE COUNTRY". Vendors were selling handcrafted items and farm stand produce. There was a BBQ food truck as well as an ice cream food truck. A winery was offering samples! It was an absolute delight to meet the nice folks from llama Adventures at Buffalo Creek, displaying their animals, as well as some of their handcrafted llama fur items. They are well known for their llama events, including birthday parties, weddings, family, reunions, etc..

Service is great. The product that they produce is top notch.read more

I have had a meat share from Hanova Hills Farm this winter and it has rocked my world. Santa…read morebrought us a small chest freezer - there wasn't enough room for ice cream and all that meat in our normal fridge. Once a month I pick up at a designated spot in the city. For $100 I get a giant freezer bag of aged beef, all kinds of different cuts, cryo packed and its price per pound labeled, so I know I'm getting a great deal. The bag even has recipes in it. All that meat has forced me to get creative. I've made red wine and olive stew from Patricia Wells' "Bistro Cookbook" and then roasted the bones with their marrow from a recipe in new cookbook I had to buy to help me deal, called simply, "Meat." I've made Korean brisket more than once, and Stroganoff, stir-fries, steaks, roasts and chili. Saving up all the ground beef and racks of ribs for summertime grilling. Dinner is inspired now. Though I do admit, there are lots of vegetarian pasta nights in between our meat fests. Now, if only they'd get some pigs too.

We have wanted to try them since they opened. In that time they have expanded into a grocery store…read moreas well. A tip? If you are going to get meat and groceries, go into the livestock area, order what you are going to order, then go grocery shopping. While you are grocery shopping (tell them @ the livestock window that you are going into the grocery department)...they will butcher and cut your meat to however you request. When it's done, more time then not, they will bring your meat into the store for you. I recommend it, because if you spend an extended amount of time in the live stock area, you WILL leave smelling like....livestock. My husband and I originally went for the first time over the winter, and we spent the entire time in the live stock area. We had to wash our coats after. Get in and get out of the live stock area. If you are going for live stock, you go to the window, tell them what you want. They will pull and weigh. You cash out and wait for your meat. We originally went for the live, fresh chickens, quickly expanding our meat order. While I will admit, the people who butcher the animals, they have a definite language barrier. It is much easier to tell the gentlemen at the window what you want, and HOW you want it cut up. Better yet, write it down. Once you've been there once, you get the gist, and it goes much faster, just because you know what you are doing. Best chicken ever. It is a totally different experience from the frozen, hormone pumped chicken from the store. And FYI, their brown chicken (while generally no different in price), tastes better then the white. I can't explain it, that is just the way it works. And save the chicken part extras (backs, necks, and what not) for stock. My freezer is full of it. On any given day, they will have several types of animals to choose from. White Chicken Brown Chicken Roosters Guinea Hens Turkeys Several different type of ducks Goats Lambs Cows Rabbits Just remember to pick up good freezer bags, as they only put them in clear plastic bags. I prefer switching everything over to a better bag. We go every couple of months, only because we buy so much when we do go, my freezer is full of meat for a while. Definitely a good meat market. Prices are reasonable, just remember, you are buying the whole animal. They will ask you if you want the heads, and hearts, and what not. They don't do it to be gross, they do it because you paid for the entire animal. They are waiting for FDA approval to sell their livestock, that they butcher and package, in the grocery section. For the time being, the meat in the freezer case is brought in from NYC. All in all, it IS clean, and you can't smell anything outside the building, OR in the grocery section. Go take a look! Worth It.

I'll have to check out when they have their farm stand opened.

My hunting buddies and I have probably had more than a dozen of our deer processed at Bond's Meats…read moreover the years. 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.

I've had my deer processed here a handful a times over the years, and have always been satisfied…read more Have never had any of the sausages or additional products they offer, but have always done a good job butchering and packaging the meat. 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.

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.
