I grabbed some chorizo which I'm super excited about because I haven't been able to find any since moving here from Los Angeles. I haven't tried it yet, so I'll update my review after I do. I was super excited about the FRIED CHICKEN cause it looked delicious, but as soon as I took my first bite I regretted buying so much of it. Although the breading on it had an excellent taste, most of it crumbled off the chicken and exposed gross looking pale chicken. The skin of the chicken was definitely not fried properly and appeared to be partly raw. Once I bit into it, the chicken felt chewy and was partly pink inside. I got 5 wings and wished I had only got one to try cause I couldn't eat any of it. My husband thinks the chicken was read and fried while still frozen which kept it from frying properly. How can you skip steps in cooking and expect your customers to be happy and come back?? The shop itself is nice and has a big assortment of meats, but my review is based on what I purchased (fried chicken) which was pretty disgusting.

Anyway, nothing really is more worthy of care than delicious meat, and you don't have to pay much extra. And they are friendly and helpful. You name it.

They didn't have any fresh ribeye when I went (curses!) but they had some frozen tomahawks that looked like they might as well have been wagyu. The marbling on them was incredible, the ribeye from the local butchers where I'm at in the Shenandoah Valley completely paled in comparison. But we were cooking steak that day and I didn't want a frozen one, so we grabbed a couple New York Strips (or whatever their actual name is) that had marbling like I'd never seen in that cut. Cooked them in a cast iron over fire and coals with some butter, fresh garlic, salt and pepper and boy, did they just melt in your mouth - if you'd told me it was tenderloin, I would've never doubted. Really wanted to go back and grab those frozen tomahawks to take home with me but it just didn't work out like that, now I'm back home and just woke up the next morning and I can't stop thinking about 'em. Thanks to the two lovely ladies that helped us, and I hope the one of you enjoyed the rest of your TikTok lunch!

While wandering through town, we came across Cabot Creamery at the Yellow Barn and what an absolute gem of a discovery! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the warm. The ambiance was inviting and cozy, with a small-town charm that immediately made us feel at home. You can tell the team here puts a lot of care into creating a memorable experience for visitors. We sampled several of their incredible cheeses, including their current oldest an astonishing 10-year-aged cheddar that was rich, sharp, and full of complex flavor. The staff were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely enthusiastic about helping us navigate the variety of offerings. We ended up purchasing the White Oak Cheddar Cheese, the unforgettable 10-Year Cheddar, Wozz Green Tom Jalap Spread (a perfect savory kick!), and the BHP CP Raspberry Mostarda, which added a beautifully sweet and tangy touch to our cheese pairings. If you're ever in the Hardwick area or even remotely nearby do yourself a favor and make a stop at this delightful cheese shop. It's well worth the detour!
