I generally don't write reviews, but I feel quite strongly about Nate and All Family Farm so I decided to write one.
You are here, looking at the All Family Farm Google page and reading this review, just like I was a few weeks ago. I was looking for high quality meat I can provide for my family, raised in its natural environment, with great care and passion. I did not want to buy it at a store; it's better for the environment if you buy it in bulk, directly from the farm, with no middlemen and unnecessary transport. We have an extra covid-freezer so buying a half pig was our choice.
You are also here because you read about the Berkshire breed. You probably already know people say it's better and you will notice the difference with your first meal. Try eating it side-by-side with other types of pork, store bought, or even plant based products (please cook for temperature, not time, as Berkshire leaner meat will cook faster).
You are also here reading this review, because you want to help an awesome American, Nate; a marine, a firefighter, and an incredibly passionate farmer. When you meet him, you will quickly realize you are putting yourself and your family in good hands. He's fully immersed in making sure your experience at the farm, in dealing with him, in purchasing his meat, exceeds your expectations. He truly cares that you have a wonderful experience meeting him and visiting his farm.
I highly recommend you visit All Family Farm and purchase...
Read moreThe farm : family owned and operated by a local Ny couple who built the farm from nothing . I think the guy is a nyc firefighter and dedicates his time between running the farm and working as a fireman in the city . Either way , him and his wife are super cool and love having new comers visit the farm so they can show them around and give them an inside look at how the pigs are raised .
The product : the meat is Berkshire heritage type pork and is extremely hard to come by in the city . I live in Ridgewood queens and I haven’t seen this type of pork for sale anywhere. It cooks and tastes very different from regular store bought pork and to my taste buds is VERY delicious and VERY high quality . Hoping that they do well , and gain momentum in the farmers markets in the city where they will inevitably do very well . Well done All Family Farm !
My recommendation: the bacon and the sausage are to die for . The pork chop...
Read moreI discovered this small farm right down the road from my home. I met up with Nate who gave me some farm education and some back story on his pigs. He is a veteran second generation farmer looking to feed his community quality berkshire pork. I had the pleasure of eating the Italian pork sausage yesterday and the breakfast sausage this morning and OMG. No complaints. You can taste the difference from commercial pork versus this farm raised pig. I highly recommend stopping by, checking out the donkeys and the pigs and grab some pork on the way out. Let's help keep small farmers...
