Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

I also had the fabulous pleasure of eating their delicious lunchtime specials, today was a delicious Halibut burger on a ciabatta bun and the fries were cooked in Beef Talow Also I came home with 3 of the fattest tenderloins I've ever had! The food is amazing but the customer service is even better. Phenomenal is the way to describe the father/son duo operating this store!! A fabulous find in Sidney by the Sea!!

I'm new to the area and was excited to find a local butcher, especially after receiving a gift…read morecertificate for Christmas. Based on recommendations, we decided to try Bouma Meats and purchased one large T-bone steak. The staff member suggested a "nice aged one," which sounded great. Once home, I salted the steak and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. I did notice an off smell, but assumed it was simply the aroma of aged beef. Unfortunately, once cooked and served, the filet side was clearly rancid, and the strip side wasn't much better. We stopped eating immediately out of concern for getting sick. It was very disappointing to throw away a $30 steak and worry about food safety. I've heard many good things about this shop, which makes this experience especially unfortunate, but between the cost and the concern for our health, I won't be returning.

The store is clean, the displays are good, and the fridges/freezers stocked well. Products are labeled and priced clearly. The store and cash is set up to allow flow and movement of customers. (Even though only 3 people are allowed in at a time, one woman barged in front of me in line to be served. But hey, that''s Victoria. I do hope the staff can stay alert and tell who is really next in line.. but I'll let that one go today.) The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable about cuts and cooking tips and have good manners which is a true bonus these days. A couple times I have called my order in and picked it up later. The orders were correctly done and priced, and I've been happy with every product I've tried. I have to admit I've decreased my consumption of meat in last 2 yrs. But, I feel better supporting local venues (not bulk stores) and local farmers. They have more than meat too - the mixed olives are fantastic.

I ordered 8 lbs of beef short ribs a day in advance and relayed they will be smoked on a Kamado Joe…read moreBBQ. I specifically stated that the ribs be large (Texas style). The next day I was excited to purchase my order. I paid $122.76, which is a higher than average price, considering I don't mind paying a bit extra for animals that are naturally raised with 'no antibiotics or hormones, free range, pastured and fed a biologically appropriate diet', and, we certainly support our local community. The following day, my husband was quite excited to season the ribs. Upon opening the package, we found the ribs to be extremely fatty and silver skin still on them. The ribs were also cut individually instead of two slabs of four ribs. What? Staff working at Farm & Field Butchers should be professional and extremely well-versed in the cuts of meat and what should or should not come off, as well as adhering to customers' requests. I have purchased previous cuts of meat from them - e.g. Rib Eye Steaks - which were also extremely fatty. Their cuts of meat are just loaded with fat, and, you are actually paying 30% of the total on simply 'fat'. Save your money people. Please go anywhere else but here... You will be disappointed, as we have been on several occasions. We are steering clear of this business in future. Tired of being disappointed and paying top dollar for mediocre product full of fat.

In short We haven't had this kind of shopping around here,…read morelet alone focused in one store. This is where you get the super-nice meat and fish that supermarkets and big-box stores don't have. And their house-made fish dips are amazing. In long It's a little strip mall by the Speedway that would be kinda sleepy except for the drive-through coffee line constantly forming around the whole building. E&O have the end unit. You walk in to a shelf full of solid-value wines, mostly local, aimed to pair with whatever you might take home with you to cook. The ceilings are high, and the walls and floors are all spotless white. No decorations, very little merchandising, if any. There's a long butcher case on the left full of all kinds of crazy treats. Prawns the size of bratwursts. Steaks, roasts, different fish. They skip most of the stuff that supermarkets carry and focus only on more-specialty stuff. Their stock is either a nicer version or it's something that's unavailable elsewhere. You do pay for quality like this on some of the stuff, but if you're cooking a meal you're really looking forward to, the value makes it reasonable. Not everything is expensive, either. They had fresh lemons on the case for 40% less than the supermarket up the street. They had reds, whites, bubblies, and pinks in the wine section with every bottle under $20. And those fish dips, man. I'm surprised they don't sell out by afternoon every day. We had wild salmon and black cod dips before dinner last night, and both were fantastic. They're very well balanced, so maybe you could add hot sauce or fresh herbs to taste, but we've had them several times and never felt compelled to tune them up. The dudes behind the butcher case have decades of industry experience, and they couldn't be nicer, more patient, or more helpful. I love shopping here.

This place has fruit, meat, produce, etc. but we were here for the sandwiches. They're a great deal! They have some sandwich combos available along with breakfast and lunch options. But the star here is their meat sandwiches, which are a steal ($6.99) but you can also get veggie ($6.00) or 1/2 sandwich ($4.50). - Ciabatta ($6.99) - I piled mine up with chipotle mayo, swiss, half sundried tomato turkey/half bacon and all the vegetables. Got them to grill my sandwich on the panini press too. - Cheese kaiser ($6.99) - B got hers with pesto, monteray jack with jalapeno, sundried tomato turkey and vegetables.
