The Austin Brothers Farm sells beef, pork and eggs at their on-site farm store. The store is a…read moretiny building with wall-to-wall freezers full of their amazing grass-fed meat. If you want to buy some, you should call ahead. For my first visit, I came by during their posted hours, and I read a sign to honk my horn to be helped. As Mr. Austin explained to me, he is around during the days/times posted, but he might working in one of their fields. (If he knows that you are going to visit, he'll plan to be in the area of the farm shop.) He was also kind enough to explain some basics about choosing meat for what I might want to cook. He was so helpful! I'd never bought meat directly from the source before, and I'd never set out to buy grass-fed beef before (but I've been getting more interested in knowing about food sources). Every weekday, I drive by the Austin's Farm on my way to work, and I can see how well the animals are kept, and how happy they are in their spacious fields. In a sense, it could seem morbid to see the animals that might end up on my table, but I'm actually glad to know that they are healthy cows who live good lives. And, I like knowing that my purchases directly help to keep a local farm family in business. Best of all, their food just tastes amazing!! I hope you'll stop by and give it a try!! (Or check their website for farmers' markets where they also sell their products.) Here's their info: Austin Brothers Valley Farm 270 West Street Belchertown, MA 01007 Open year round, or by appointment: 413-668-6843 Tuesday and Wednesday, 1:00 PM - 7:00 PM Thursday- Sunday, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Closed Mondays http://www.austinsfarm.com

This is my local market meat guys, but not my absolute fave meat guys. I haven't tried everything…read morethey do, but I do love one thing, so, to be fair, I'll rave about that, rather than be snide about other stuff that I have no biz being snide about. I LOVE THEIR STEAK TIPS OK, there, I said it, now it's out, and the whole world, or at least the part of it who read yelp, or at least the part of the part of it who read my reviews, knows it. Marinate them in a bit of lime and ginger, and grill them. DELICIOUS! They have fresh eggs too. They aren't those great little blue ones with the really bright yolks, but they are happy eggs, you can tell.

I was doing a trail work project at Greenberg conservation area around the corner and stopped Here…read moreto see what they had. Obviously, they have lots of good stuff. Whether you get a delicious sandwich made with Boar's Head meat, (the best) or you looking for something to take home and make for a meal at another time., it is all good. In the store section, they have fresh cut bacon and other meats that some people might find extremely delicious. Some of the expected things like fresh produce including squash and apples are also available right now. There's also a large selection of homemade jelly, jam, and marmalade. They have two different bakery sections. One has cookies and simple baked goods, and the other has things like mini cheesecakes and eclairs. Inside the store, they also have their own wine. Lots of different flavors. I did not grab any of that today, but that will be interesting for a different day. I also recommend a hike around the conservation area :-) Grab a sandwich first!

Locked in at the bar and it took me a minute to figure out what I wanted to eat but ultimately decided to go with penne meatballs and a cup of the Soup. Everything is homemade so when the soup came out and looked at me in the face I knew it was going to be absolutely delicious, and it was. Almost through pepper in it but didn't need it. Didn't even want crackers either. I spooned every last drop I could get of broth. The penne with meatballs came out hot! A very full bowl definitely pushed me to being full. Meatballs fell apart and or spot on with taste. For dessert I went with the pistachio cake, OMG! The only place I can compare this to that's equally delicious is tease bar and pizzeria in Stanford Connecticut. Every bite was flavorful. I enjoyed the place so much I decided to get a gift card for my grandparents for being awesome grandparents. A place for a date night.

Used to come here years ago and the grinders were always stacked with meat and was curious if they…read morewere still made the same way. No they're not stacked as high but they're decent. I got the reuben sandwich and my better half had a turkey grinder and we shared a container of cheeseburg chowder. My reuben was okay and the missus turkey grinder was just okay as well she said, but we both loved the cheeseburg chowder. The lady behind the counter was a pistol and I'd come back just to yak it up with her. No tables inside to eat but several are outside. Easy in and easy out with adequate parking and the place is clean.

Their grinders are enormous for the price, I think around 7 dollars a piece? They also have a great bit of meat in them. Ingredients always taste fresh. Will continue to go here for our lazy dinners. Try them out if you're on this side of town for a great grinder at a reasonable price!
