Mixed feelings. On the one hand it's amazing quality. However, customer service is lacking.

They feel like an important staple to a local community. But also, it feels like customer service is often not prioritized anymore either. I would definitely shop here more. There are a few shelves with some products. It's a small space but I think it would be cool if there were more sauces and rubs or sides or even some cheeses.

I've written a lot of reviews for George ever since I found him around 9-10 years ago. I hadn't…read morebought from him in a while, but have been wanting to. In February, I reached out about 1/4 of a cow and while I didn't directly buy from him he pointed me to Crosby Cattle Co. (based out of Fernley, but looks like he is opening his own shop in Reno soon!). George felt this rancher had amazing meat and since he was closer to me than George I utilized him. The owner, Alec, was easy to work with and delivered my 1/4 of cow for free. I haven't had to buy beef at the grocery store since February and we still have, about 2/3s of the meat left. The beef is so good! George was very interested in my opinion. Alec has a 100% satisfaction, basically if I wasn't extremely happy, he would fix it, but so far so good. Recently saw George had 1/2 a pork share available, so I reached out and bought that. Back in the day George came to Reno area a lot and so he would deliver it, but he didn't have any trips planned and so I made the drive to Quincy to his shop to pick up. It wasn't bad at all. It was so nice to talk to George, on social media he will answer any and all questions you have about the slaughtering process, after death, storage, whatever you want. When I picked up the pork I asked how he sells meat when he doesn't own the animals himself. He said when they go to farms, they look at how the animal (pig, cow, lamb etc) is raised, where it lives, the food it gets and makes decisions on buying that way so you know you're getting the best of the best when you buy from him. George is a soft spoken, gentle guy, I was impressed he even remember my old dog when he used to drop off my delivers from 8 years ago. I know its not feasible for a lot of people, but buying local, buying more humanely raised animals for meat, knowing when it was killed it wasn't trucked miles and stressed out, understanding where our food comes from a bit more, is important to me. George posts the animals he kills on his social media and people seem to get upset, but the fact is, its good to remember that that rib eye steak, was an animal once and doesn't just magically create itself onto the styrofoam platter at the grocery store. One of my goals over the last few years is being more mindful of my food, eating less meat, but more quality meat when I do eat it. If you're interested at all, George knows ranches, even if you don't buy from him he can point you in the right direction, he will answer all questions, and also he has seriously AMAZING price points. If you can swing it, I promise you won't be disappointed. Lastly, I did a side by side blind taste test with my pork from George and pork chop from Costco, the pork chop from George won, obviously, but also it easy to see how much more moist and flavorful that pork was to the costco pork chop. Its hard to post links here so if interested, dm me and I'll point you in the right direction to follow and contact him. I believe his website is linked though and should take you to his social medias where he posts the meat he has regularly.

My Dad lives in Grass Valley and every time I come up from the Bay Area this is where I eat…read more Now, caveat, he's in his 70s and thinks a $19 sandwich with housemade meats on craft bread is absolutely outrageous, he would be just as happy eating at Subway. There's nothing wrong with his opinion, I don't eat that garbage, but if you can't tell or don't care about quality (yes, I'm being snarky, but seriously, if you're going to complain you have options...) Anyhow, this is where I come to eat, I always pay, and he complains about the price of the sandwich (I paid for) while he eats all of his sandwich and then finishes mine- it is also a lot of food, usually two meals for me, but I'm not a voracious eater. If you're still here after my rant, the food here is quality, you're going to pay more, you're going to wait for it to be prepared, because its not some cafeteria conveyer belt sandwich- it's crafted. The shop is very small, ambiance is- small meat counter, the soda machine has been broken as long as I've been coming, there's no indoor dining. I know, I'm not selling it. BUT Outside you have outdoor tables under the trees, there are birds singing, it feels completely Nevada City, much preferred to eating inside. Typically I order the Reuben and I think that's their best sandwich, but I've also tried the Roast Beef, Italian Ham, and Turkey. I know I mentioned their soda machine is broken, but they have plenty of sodas in a cooler as well as a few very good sides- I'm partial to the Dijon potato salad. So final thoughts- cheapskates with broken tastebuds stay home, let the real ones eat.

Alec Crosby was recommended to me by my favorite butcher, George, when I reached out interested in…read morebuying a share of beef in February. Alec raises his cattle in Fernley so super local, the cows are happy cows not trucked to feedlots at the end of their life cycle. They have good lives, these are the things that I appreciate as a meat eater. And yes I do know all beef is finished on grain, but there's a difference in mixing grass and grain in fields etc. I ordered through his website, super easy. I got a 1/4 of beef, after trimming and cutting, I ended up with around 110 lbs of beef. The percentages of certain types of meat described on his website, ended up being spot on for me. Yes, I wrote down every package, weighed them and created a spreadsheet haha. The packages came wrapped in saran wrap then butcher paper with a stamp of the type of cut. I like knowing what the weight is so a print out sticker with that would be preferred personally in the future, but I just wrote the weight on each package. I kept in touch with Alec and he was very adamant about quality and my happiness He said if it wasn't anything less than amazing, he'd get me a new one. I have the messages for proof, but to be honest, even if I wasn't 100% happy, I could never do that to a small business over possibly small qualms. He cheered me on when I sent him some pics of my first meals with the meat I got from him. He is a young guy, expanding his long run, multi generational family business. On Facebook he showed that he was opening up a store front and I couldn't be more excited for him and for Reno. This is a dream basically, to have local sources of meat, in affordable prices. And I appreciate his ability to take a chance and try to bring back some of the good things from older genertions like neighborhood butcher shops. I suggest giving him a try when you need a butcher or want a beef share for the family if you have the room. It ends up being incredibly worth it cost wise in the long run even though it can be intimidating for an upfront cost. In the end, we have been going through our beef pretty slow, I still have around 50% of it left, and haven't bought beef at a store since February. I've eaten some new meals, cooked cuts in new ways and learned to like hamburger again (because this stuff is tasty and not close to store bought). I haven't had any bad cuts, and I feel so good eating this beef, supporting local business and new generations.

If you have never had grass fed beef you have missed a great taste. First I will have to caution…read moreyou that the taste of grass fed and corn fed is not the same. Some people love it and others do not care for the taste. There is a coop in Grass Valley that sells it is smaller amounts and you should try it before you get yourself a quarter, half, or full steer. People who run the ranch are great. Beef is available only during a short time each year, around the spring. The beef is slaughtered at the U. of Reno and cut and packed there and returned to the ranch in Nev. County for sale.
