If you're looking for a butcher shop that both makes all of its own products in-house and always has a variety of products (of which varies from visit to visit), this is your place. They might have pork, lamb, or beef in any sort of cut (rump roast, sirloin steak, "neck slices", filets, bacon, varietal sausages and beef sticks, etc etc etc) and there's no telling what you're going to find here at any certain time. However, since students are making the product, it's usually quite inexpensive and always of good quality. Plus, all the meat is local, which always tastes better I don't care what anyone say. The bad news is that it's hard to find, the hours are extremely limited, and it's first-come-first-serve. Shop at your own risk, or just let me keep this place to myself.

While the location is somewhat obscure and hours are limited, it's worth a visit. The meat is very…read moregood and reasonably priced. Some products are seasonal, such as lamb in the spring. I have their product list, and can call ahead if I want something in particular to insure they have it. There's always been a butcher in the back to help,if need be. Note, parking anywhere at UK is a nightmare, but I was told I can park right at the door -- and it's an easy in-and-out.

Apparently, I am an idiot who does not know how to feel inside a carcass of a turkey for giblets…read moreand a neck. Sarcasm people! How do you miss a neck and giblets in a turkey? Not only did they rob me of my neck and giblets and cut out a chunk of the turkey, most real farms include herbs from their garden for brining. This heritage turkey had absolutely no flavor of game to convince me it was raised wild. I have prepared and roasted goose, duck, and wild turkey for over 20 years for my family, and this farm is not authentic. They are a mass prouder that can't keep their facilities straight enough for quality control! Hello Via, Thanks for your message, I am thinking you are not finding the bag of giblets in your turkey? We use a local USDA butcher to process all of our meats, and he packages the giblets and neck from each turkey and then adds them back into the cavity. The package can be difficult to reach and you may have to try from both ends of the turkey. You will also need to wait until the turkey is completely thawed to reach the pack as it will be frozen and stuck inside. We have never encountered a situation where the neck and giblets are missing, but it is not impossible, as each turkey is handled by a person, not machines. Because of your distance, we are unable to get you another package of giblets today. If you don't find them, do let us know. We can offer you a $5 credit towards a future Elmwood purchase. This could be put towards another shipping order or next year's turkey. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out if you have any questions and I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving! Thanks, Ann Elmwood Stock Farm $129 for a 7lb heritage and $70 for shipping. Do not make the same mistake I did.

After years of grocery store sausage that either was overpowering, or had some sort of chemically taste, this was refreshing! I opted for the mild, and was not disappointed. There wasn't much smell coming from the meat during cooking, which had me worried. But after the first bite, I was hooked! Juicy and savory, just as it should be. And a very fair price at $6 for two pounds. The place may not look like much, but it's all it needs to be.

I appreciate that such great customer service is still a priority for some purveyors. Three cheers for a family owned business with good values and support of their customers. Thank you, Nick.

My goal was to procure fresh ground lamb mince to make homemade dolmathes, and fresh chicken thighs (bone-in and skin on) to make homemade Pho Ga. I went to the butcher counter and told the butcher I wanted 2 pounds of lamb mince, and he went to grab a whole lamb, cut off the sections needed for the mince, and ground it right before my eyes ! It can't get any fresher than that. The chicken thighs were already cut and packaged but still look amazingly fresh. They have a small section of produce, huge amounts of tea from which to choose, all kinds of sweets and snacks, fresh flat breads, and so many other items from which to choose that I cannot even begin to name them all. Everyone in store was helpful and pleasant. I just found my new butcher shop for fresh meats!
