Marbled Meats

I have been coming to see Tom for quite some time now and finally got a chance to try the Beef Short Ribs. Out of this world! Gonna be hard to go back to those fall off the bone pork ribs he also makes. The chicken is also a big hit with the kids.
His steaks, sausages and eggs are also amazing if you want to do the cooking. Couldn’t find a nicer guy to deal with.
Tip: Make sure you order in advance as he will cook and season the food to perfection and have it ready at the time you need to pickup. You can just order one rack if you want although I tend to order when I have another family over. Always a treat.

Went here today to buy a whole chicken.
Owner was friendly and helpful. His meat is well researched, and he is very knowledgeable about his farms and their processes. Prices are more than fair for what you get.
You need to find out when his supplies come in, so you can make sure you get what you need, as he doesn’t keep excess produce.
This will be my new go-​to butchery.
If you want healthier, more earth/​animal-​friendly meat… this is the place to go.

Ads for raw red meat are a potential cause for vehicular accidents when I’m driving.
I caught the sign for this shop in my peripheral vision last week and nearly side swiped two vehicles whilst craning my neck to get a better review. A few days later I safely parked my car in the area and strolled in to take a look-​see.
The shop in small. Really small. The main meat counter contains various cuts of meat from local based Thatcher Farms (that offer beef, pork, chicken and eggs, as well as their own lamb they raise themselves).
That said, it even states in their window that they source ONLY natural, free-​range and local meats. I think that is awesome and I wish more shops would do this.
I couldn’t get a good look at most of the red meat, as a family of three was having steaks hand cut at the time and blocked my view. From what I did see I was impressed — a small selection of top-​grade fresh meats, poultry and sausage.
Will return and will thumb my nose at Whole Foods as I pass by.
