Echo Valley Meats — Local services in Bartonville

If you are not buying from Echo Valley you simply are not...

Clearly they did not plan for the response after their Shark Tank appearance which resulted in NO DEAL. You can buy a spiral ham in your local grocery store for under $30 that will be 1/3rd larger than this ham.............fresher.............and appropriately frozen. We waited three weeks for our ham to GET SHIPPED. It was not froze upon receipt and barely cold. When we opened the plastic........the meat was gray. Our dog would not even eat it!! What a waste of $50. Additionally, they don't follow up with you whether you e mail or leave a message on their phone. This business is on it's way to closing the...
