Wow! If you live in the cowtropoloton area of Plain, Wisconsin, you already know about this place…read moreand probably frequent the store on a regular basis. Me? Serendipity! I live 2-1/2 hours away. I stumbled in the door because I went to Plain for Cedar Grove Cheese. (See my review of Cedar Grove Cheese.) It was closed at the time but a cheesemaker came outside to greet me and said their cheese was available at Straka Meats. I had seen a billboard for the meat market on Cty B, so I went to look for it. And I'm glad I did! The selection is overwhelming. The store is outstandingly clean and obviously well maintained. I have no reason to believe the shop is any different, which impressed me a great deal. We wound up with a mix of Straka and Cedar Grove products. Best Braunschweiger I've ever had. Seriously! I'll gladly make the trek out of my way (Plain is sort-of on the way to the family cottage) to visit Straka for brats, chops and who knows what I'll find next? Hint: If you're headed to the largest tourist trap in Wisconsin (the water park capital of the world) you're not that far away from Plain. Take a ride to Plain, visit Straka and Cedar Grove Cheese. Bring a large cooler! You'll thank me later.

They were significantly more expensive for processing than other meat lockers I've used. They do box it all up nicely and wrap in paper, but that isn't worth the extra cost to me. I'll go to another meat locker next year. $130 for beef slaughter, $0.85 per pound processing and then the good 'ol "USDA" testing fee of $4.00. Seriously!

Back when I was just learning what a CSA was, I asked someone to recommend a farm and they…read moresuggested Vermont Valley Farm. It's been a number of years now and I'm still a happy, loyal customer. There are a few things that set Vermont Valley Farm apart from the competition: 1) Farm events. It's great getting a box of vegetables delivered to a convenient pick-up location once-a-week during the summer. But you know what's even better? Getting the chance to go out to the farm occasionally to see where all the magic happens. Vermont Valley Farm hosts awesome annual events like pesto fest (they provide all the basil, you bring everything else you need and make all the pesto you can eat right there on the farm), corn-boil and pot luck, along with u-pick tomatoes and pumpkins! 2) Add-on cheese shares. They partner with Dreamfarm to offer goat cheese CSA shares you can pick up with your veggies. While you'll find Dreamfarm cheeses in local stores, some flavors are only made for the CSA. 3) Awesome farmers. This is a family operation and it's clear they love what they do, and love sharing it with their members. They're also socially responsible, and donate large quantities of produce to a local food pantry to help fight food insecurity in our community. You can feel good about being a member! That they have great produce goes without saying. They also offer a variety of shares to meet your needs, including spring, fruit, and storage shares. Can I recommend them enough? No. No, I can not. These guys & gals rock!

We visited Meister while on a tour of Wisconson creameries. I found them to be friendly,…read moreprofessional, and creative. Their specialty is flavored cheeses with condiments included in the cheese. While I am a bit of a purist, I find it a good choice for them to have created a niche for themselves so that they can stay ahead of the curve. They have, however, created a reserve cheddar that is quite nice that we got to try. Hopefully we will be able to get the Eagle Cave reserve soon in the PNW. This creamery is also a carbon creditor through its use of woodchips to create steam to heat the pasteurizer. Or somthing like that. All I know is they are very environmentally concious so good on them!

I noticed a tasting area but was told the only one available for tasting was the rhubarb. Shame I couldn't try the more traditional ones as I don't tend to buy a case without confirming it's good first. The employee also was kind of unfriendly but not to the point of rude. Just didn't seem to want anybody there shopping. The apples, apple cider donuts and apple cider were all delicious. Always a great stop and now even more worth it with some fun friends at the petting zoo area!

The website said they were open and had fresh made turnovers and donuts so I called to order and left a message and they never returned the call. Today after Labor Day, I went to the website to order where it says you can even order ahead for a later pick up and I'm not able to do it because the items I want which are their delicious apple turnovers says low stock and you can't order it! Call them and it says connect to someone in the shop and when you push that option, your call gets disconnected. I can't get through. I can't order and I'm just frustrated with them.
