If you are local or from out of town , this is the place to get your meats!…read moreThey have a full selection, and will cut it how you need it for recipes. Myself I always purchase the Lunenburg sausage, and some of their jerky. Poultry , lamb, beef, pork, bison, and smoked fish, they've got it! Best of all you will be supporting the locals!

I have no connection with 'GREEK'S" or even Bridgewater, I live in Barrington, but whenever I'm…read morecoming home from a trip to Halifax, or Cape Breton? I always top in to GREEK'S and buy whatever quantity of BLACK PUDDIN' they have. I also enjoy their various sausage flavours, home made bacon/hams? and their prices compare favourably with the supermarkets, but you get that 'Family business' treatment from their very pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Fresh and Flavourfull, that says it all for me folks. Give them a visit and then?? invite me to your barbecue, LoL!

I drove by this place countless times; I didn't know what i was missing!!…read moreWent in a couple of times for beef tongue (frozen). After that I tried their bacon and have never gone back to the blister packs you find at the grocery stores. I tried their steaks and will never buy steaks anywhere else ever. The hamburg is also a great buy. They are consistently great I can't say any more than that. I'll never buy any meat anywhere else! George is a great guy to deal with along with all the rest of the staff. They get 6 stars out of five-can we do that?

Best meat around, a good variety of everything. Great customer service. Will never buy meat from…read moreanywhere else!

Getaway is a great shop for your pork and beef needs…read more The belly bacon, when it isn't sold out, is fantastic. Thick cut, and I swear it loses less weight when it's cooked; not sure if this is because it's less fatty than regular commercial bacon or if that stuff is water chilled, but I'd say you're getting more bang for your buck in both quality and quantity. I think it clocks in at $8/lb. The breakfast sausages were a substitute for me when they were out of bacon on a recent visit. They have a fairly mild seasoning to them, and not quite that typical breakfast sausage flavour, which I am admittedly a sucker for. They're a bit more coarsely ground than most sausages, and could use a bit more fat added in as they are a bit on the dry side for a sausage.$7/lb. I picked up a batch of maple-cured English bacon on my last visit, which I'm looking forward to trying! Your more basic cuts of meat are fairly reasonably priced, but be ready to suffer some damage to your wallet if you're getting any of the high end cuts.

This is a great place to get local meats and the cows are grass fed. I have tried the ground beef…read moreand some of their sausages and both are delicious. I highly recommend the apple rosemary sausage. They also have maple sausage and banger sausage. You can see them cutting the meat in front of you so you know it's fresh. Their website goes into detail how they raise their cows and why it's better for the environment and the cows. I am happy to support this business at the Farmer's Market. Taken from their website about the importance of eating grass fed beef: "Grass-fed beef and lamb are now considered a health food of the highest order. Compared to grain-finished meats, it is higher in omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotene, and especially conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an essential fatty acid largely missing from modern diets and found almost exclusively in the dairy and meat products of grass-eating ruminants (cattle, sheep, and goats)."

If you're not willing or able to head out to Bill Wood's farm in Tatamagouche, have no fear. You…read morecan meet up with him every Saturday morning at the Halifax Farmers Market. He's downstairs and you can recognize him by that happy expression on his face. It's contagious! Once you've tasted his lamb, you'll never want any other. I personally love his homemade sausages, not to mention great cuts no matter which ones you favor. He also has free range eggs and other goodies to check out. And you won't be alone at his stand either. All the best restaurants in town buy from him.

Absolutely love this place. My husband and I refer to it as "the red barn in Dartmouth". Not only…read moredo they have some amazing deals weekly, their meat and produce are always very clean and fresh. They only carry beef, pork and chicken. No lamb or goat or organs. The first time I came in I was energized by all the hustling and bustling in this place. I was also surprised that it was smaller than I expected. Then I realized there were other parts of the building that weren't "store front". We usually come here to stock up on steaks, ribs or whatever meat they have on sale that week. If you're into raw food for your pooch they've got that covered too. Another thing I've noticed is their cashiers are very efficient, aka fast! Walmart and Superstore should send their cashiers here for training. If I really have to be picky, I'd have to say that this is not a place to bring your children. We can only come when one of us stays in the van with our young children. For one, their shopping carts are small. And secondly, this is a very busy place with limited floor space. Also the parking lot on the weekends is a zoo. But even with these "hindrances" we still manage to buy groceries here.

Went in to see what all the fuss was about. Recently expanded. The store looks huge from outside…read morebut the actual retail area is quite small - and packed with bargain shoppers. There are definitely some fantastic bargains for food there. Many people go for their meat. There is a double barreled check out area. Lines are long but they are quite efficient at checking people out.

I have known Vance Morse/Windy View Farm for 15 + years. I started out as a customer with my family…read moreat the old Brewery Market and followed him to the Halifax Seaport Market. One day I saw Vance at the Brewery Market and offered to help him with his huge line up. At the end Vance asked if he could pay me and I told him no as I was volunteering my time. When he got home and counted his money he noticed that he was richer than weeks before. The following Wednesday he called me and asked if I could work for him every Saturday going forward. I said yes. Move forward and you will see that I am no longer 15 years old. I have gone to College, Africa, and done so much. I am so lucky to still kept my relationship with the owner Vance. Vance and I started out as Customer, Employee, and now good friends. Windy View Farm has exceptional products, amazing customer service, and an attitude if it comes off the animal then it can be done. It is hard to get good food these days that you can trust. I am all about animals rights while letting them live for what they are on the earth to do. Provide great food for my family/community. Vance lets the animals be animals. He treats them humanly, does not inject them with all kinds of crap, and most of all lest them roam around freely. If I was to suggest two products to start your journey with him I would suggest the Centre Cut Pork Chops and his chicken. When you enter his website and see his pricing you have to remember that it is based on per pound and not a fixed price. (No different than if you go to the traditional grocery store). However, If I order the boneless skinless chicken breast I might get a better price than the website because the breast might be smaller than a pound. Keep this in mind. If you are looking for wholesale prices then you have to email him or call him. One restaurant in Halifax that uses his products is "The Foggy Goggle" and they were one of the first in Halifax to take him on. So I end you herewith, "give him a try." I don't think you will be disappointed, I know I was not. All it takes is a conversation. :)

Went in june 14th and asked for their cheapest lean cut meat at 10.99/lb which is kind of pricey…read morebut they were nice and service was good so i ordered 4lbs. They asked if i could wait until june 15th noon time and i responded, aslong as its done by june 16th wednesday after noon. He guarnteed they would have it done. Left my phone number incase anything changed. Went in wednesday ( today ) at 4:45 pm and there was 1 person ahead of me. Not only was his order not ready but my order hadn't even been started. They said they didnt have and beef left. Whether they were unprepared or not they should have checked their inventory before accepting my order. Even though they were nice before it doesnt matter. Seems this butcher cannot be trusted.
