Fox Country Smoke House — Local services in Canterbury

LOVE this place! As soon as you walk in, your mouth will start watering (provided you are still living). The jerky is excellent. It is the perfect consistency, being easy to chew, yet not mushy or stringy-not to mention the flavor is out of this world! There are at least 6 different flavors and I honestly couldn't pick just one! They also have 2 year old aged chedar which is delicious, but it gets better....they have a 2 yr old SMOKED cheddar which makes the "original" just seem boring. It is sooo good! There are way too many delights to name here! And they have samples! Well worth the trip! Speaking of the trip, it is a long way back and you may think your GPS is leading you to your doom, but there is a smoke house at the end of your journey! The gentleman who runs the store is super friendly and very helpful! We have been there a couple times will keep going back! One more thing, it looks like it is closed all the time, but that's just the look. They ARE closed on Mondays. NOTE: There is a ramp but getting to the ramp may be difficult for anyone in a wheelchair. The lot is "rocky" and I don't mean gravel. It's that wonderful New...

We’ve been buying Fox’s smoke cheese from Harman’s Country Store for years but we’re so happy to discover their smokehouse this summer.

What amazing products - from their smoked cheeses to house made spicy kielbasa & bacon, smoked cashews and even smoked pigs ears & bones for the dog. And the entire staff is so helpful & accommodating.

What a great surprise when we went back a few weeks ago to discover that Canterbury was having some sort of festival weekend where local businesses were offering tours & specials. We got a tour of the smokehouse & learned how they brine & smoke their meats. I received a call on Sunday night saying I had won a variety pack in their raffle. It was full of cheeses, kielbasa, smoked sausage & a very comfy sweatshirt.

Our go to Christmas present this year will be a basket of goodies from Fox ( but not the one we won because that will be...

I have been going here for decades, mostly to buy bacon. Sadly as they have become more popular it has become harder to get the shoulder bacon I like. I don't begrudge them their success. The difference between their bacon and others is that theirs isn't bulked up with 'plumping agents', so there's no scalding steam when you start cooking, and no white scum. I have bought various other products from them, I especially like the jerky. Don't work about the spicy versions, they mostly aren't very hot. The only thing we had a problem with was that we found the peppered bacon over peppered, so I washed the rest after the first batch. But that's only one issue in more than two decades....
