Wonderful Customer Service: I had placed my first order and received an email from both Ike and Chris asking how everything was. Now I have had a previous email with Chris about wanting to order from his company as they make 100% PORK hot dogs and explained that I have Lyme disease and now I am allergic to beef now because of it. On the website it listed Pork jerky so I ordered it along with breakfast sausage, pork chops and some beef jerky as well as a steak for my wife. The order came but I inspected the pork jerky and found it had beef in it. I sent an email to Chris explaining that I believed that the pork jerky would only be pork and did not read the ingredients list. Chris and Ike quickly sent a reply and stated that the wrong jerky was packed and that they were very sorry. They immediately sent me the correct pork jerky at no charge. Food Quality: The Pork Jerky is almost gone it has a wonderful flavor, and I don't need to refrigerate it so I can keep it in my work van as a snack, that is a big plus and its made with Pork and not a bunch of unpronounceable words. The breakfast sausage is great and not overly salty like what you get at the grocery store and it is packed in natural sleep stomach liner. This is all that I have tried from my order and look forward to getting to the chops and my wife wants the steak for diner on Sunday so time to get propane. I will be...
Read moreI stumbled upon a documentary on the farm by accident, well I watched the entire show, Googled to see the entire operation. I was so pleased with what I saw. I was looking for a real farm to source my product but was so unsure if grass fed, free range of organic was real. I grew up in a farm where our grocery shop was our back yard. I did ordered the hens, beef bones, burgers and garlic. Happy to report that the packaging was with such care I was impressed. Yes, even the smell of the meat was different. I could have easily converted to a vegetarian, I can't tell when last I bought a chicken from the supermarket, even if the lable was organic. I'm so pleased with my purchase, I stewed a hen and actually sent some over to my sister, I waited and sure enough the phone rang and the first thing she asked was where did I get the chicken. It was so flavorful, just like my mother would make for us. The burgers are delicious, just salt and pepper, no need to mess it up. I've had just a naked burger with a salad, good enough after a long run, Well, I will make a pot of beef broth with the bones tomorrow and save it for my soups. Many thanks for the garlic, I always have to go to Whole Foods in Manhattan for garlic from California. Well I cannot Express my gratitude, please stay as true as the land. Any lamb Chops in the future? Thanks again Mavis...
Read moreCamping at the Red House Ranch stands to be the perfect nature forward and farm fare centered experience.
Pitching a tent on the peak of Ike and Dave's mountain top property offers a vast scenic back drop of the rolling Catskills. After radiant sunsets , the bold clear display of the night sky allows you to decipher your favorite constellations.
The complimentary farm fresh eggs provide a natural full flavor that you just can't find at the grocery store. With a long list of grass fed and pastured options we chose the mild Italian sausage coil and a sirloin steak. These cuts were the most succulent and juicy pieces of meat to ever make their way across my grill. Searing them over the on site firewood and provided grate brought out the divine richness of the tender pork and beef. It was an epic eats experience.
Lastly I would be remiss if I didn't mention the generosity of Ike and Dave. They perfectly accommodated our every need while giving us all the privacy we desired. They are wonderful communicators and great conversationalists to boot. Dave noticed my son's fascination with his ATV and as an act of kindness took us for a ride around the property. We were able to see all the homestead had to offer, including the animals they humanely raise with great care and diligence.
The Red House Ranch has made it on my list of annual summer...
