I'm a professional chef, formerly from Watertown Ma., who has been a client with Lance and Fossil Farms for over twenty-five years, during which time I ordered hundreds of pounds of their game. I have never, EVER, complained about the quality of their meats. They're impeccable!
This was my first visit to their retail outlet, and trust me, it's a cook's delight. It's located just five minutes off of 287, which is SO convenient. If you're traveling North-South from, or to, New England or Mid -Atlantic states, it's easily accessible. We stopped there on Friday November 10, 2023. The manager was terrific, explaining everything and pointing us in the right directions.
We were planning an Early-Thanksgiving dinner, and wanted something more than the usual turkey, blah, blah, blah. The elk was a real buy, but the 6oz Ostrich Steaks were the real star of the meal. I've been enjoying Fossil Farms ostrich for decades, literally, and it remains the best, repeat THE BEST, game meat I've ever tasted! Everyone else agreed.
I regret that I hadn't planned on preparing a Charcuterie board for the party, because they also carry a wonderful array of cured or smoked meats, plus cheese, plus condiments. A little Duck Prosciutto, some Venison Jerky... You get the picture.
If, for a moment, you think that their retail prices are high, trust me, they're not. Every piece of meat is perfectly trimmed and 100% protein. And the flavors are amazing. Highly...
Read moreWe worked with Ben this year for our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and we’re so grateful that we chose Fossil Farms. It was everything we needed to take the stress off our shoulders during wedding planning and make sure we feed ourselves and our guests with high quality food.
My husband and I are passionate about culinary experiences and we knew for sure that we wanted to support local businesses when it comes to vendors. We found Fossil Farms and connected with Ben, and from there it was nothing but awesome! Ben and his team executed at an incredibly high level at our wedding in August and we (and our guests) were so so impressed by their professionalism, dedication, and skills.
Fossil Farms is one of the best vendors we’ve worked with, and everyone who worked with us was so kind, thoughtful, and talented. They’re certainly not playing when it comes to food and services. We truly appreciate all the work they’ve done and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable wedding...
Read moreFossil Farms catered our wedding this month and did a phenomenal job! Our wedding was held outside at a private residence on Lake Hopatcong and ensuring the offsite catering (both the food and service) ran smoothly was critical for this plated, sit down event of 130 people. Ben and Liz worked with us through all the details leading up to the event and did an awesome job the day of. Our guests loved the creative passed hors d'oeuvres (Gazpacho Shooter, Bison Steak Tartare etc.) during cocktail hour. Big thanks to Ben, Liz and the entire Fossil Farms team for helping to make our day special...
