Our go to meat market apparently is no longer in business as their telephone has been disconnected…read more While checking for a new source we stumbled across Farmers Wholesale Meats on Taft highway just past Claw Daddy's Cajun Seafood. I called on the phone and asked if I could order ten pounds of ground chuck. They said they would have it ready in one hour. I did not specify how I wanted it packaged so when I arrived it was in two five pound bags. The owner asked if that was OK and I said yes because we take it home and vacuum seal it in one pound portions. He told me next time when I order remind him and they will have it vacuum sealed in 1 pound packages for us. This is a great place to do business. They even carried the packages they had put in a box to our car. Good old fashion Bakersfield hospitality. The way it used to be.

In a time when people are afraid of food, I trust this tiny store's mostly local meat and am…read moretotally addicted to the bulk meat baskets. Such a find!!!! Buy a big freezer if you don't have one, make a stop OTW back when driving up or down the 5 freeway! So worth it! Plan ahead. Make room in your freezer, bring any insulated grocery bags you have for a long drive home/ Check the prices and meat packages you want before you arrive. Read all the offers slowly before you decide because you will always wish you got something additional once you unpack your haul. The Facebook page updates regularly. I mostly go for the beef because that is a huge price savings and I can only cram so much in my freezer. But I am planning to make a more diverse meat grab next time. So many options! So many unique meats! Break up the packages into meal-sized portions in Ziploc freezer bags, label them well, then defrost one package a day for your family meals. It makes meal planning so easy and way cheaper. The wheel spin forces you to try things you didn't think you wanted or needed. Then you add it to your list for the next time. Brilliant marketing and so much fun.

First off I just want to say having tried a few of these meat markets in LA, this new Bakersfield…read morelocation tasted exactly like all of them down south. I was a bit worried after reading a review about getting meat from here but my wife and I agreed it tasted very similar to all the meat markets down south. For us this is our standard when it comes to buying meat. This place has the Best Carne Asada money can buy. In my family we call it, the Gold meat because it is very pricy but also soo worth it. We get the Asajo cuts because they're so easy to enjoy. They cook up super fast on the grill and they're soo juicy and flavorful with each bite. You cannot go wrong buying the Asajo cuts from this meat market. Come prepared to spend a lot of money but you will not be disappointed. When I'm LA we go to the one in Pico Rivera. I will definitely consider driving from Visalia over here knowing this meat market taste like the one in Pico. The customer service was real good too. Hopefully they can open one up soon in Visalia or even Fresno.

Family members have been raving about this place for quite some time as an excellent source for…read morequality meats. We live on the other side of town but made the drive to check it out. It's a cool looking store with lots of great stuff. Everything is beautifully displayed. This is a great place for someone who loves the barbecue. On this day we chose some seasoned chicken thighs, and a package of seasoned chili Verde. The people are great. They are very helpful with giving you ideas on how to prepare the different meats. We wandered around and checked out the variety of products they offer. The store is laid out very nicely. On checkout, we mentioned it was our first visit there, and we got two free sausages of our choice. Can't beat that. We cooked the chicken thighs that night. They were tender and delicious. We had the chili verde day yesterday. We slow cooked it in the afternoon, and enjoyed it in the evening. This is a very comfortable place to shop and we're looking at going back. If you haven't checked out Butcher's Block, make sure you do.
