Went to pick up my order. I've never had an issue in the two years I've had my dog or since going there. However, today was different. When I came outside and was headed back to my vehicle I took note of a dog next to the car. That's normal, they have multiple dogs there, but today was different. I hadn't seen this dog before. This dog jumped into my car to get to my dog. My dog at first retreated as he has never had an interaction like that. Their dog was persistent and jumped again throwing its whole front half of its body into the vehicle to get to my dog. I watched it agress onto my dog multiple times. I yelled to scare it off. When I confronted the people inside I was extremely upset. I stated it needed to be leashed, and I would not just sit back and witness that interaction again! I have every right to protect myself and my dog. You have an aggressive dog, that's unacceptable for a business. I was looked in the eye and told, you shouldn't have brought your dog here then. I'm sorry, you do understand people have service animals right? Behaviors like that tend to end their careers! Because of your poor training and ownership mine isn't welcome? I was told I wasn't welcome back due to my telling them I would not allow that to happen again. If it were the other way around and my dog had attacked theirs, they would feel the same way! Don't worry, I won't be back a company that doesn't place the safety and well being of their customers over what is right isn't any place I care to spend my money! A little bit of training and a leash would...
Read moreI was very impressed by the Maple Lane Farm store. I was greeted by the friendly, helpful employees as soon as I walked in. The store is well lit and exceptionally clean. All the products are organized and clearly marked. They have an extremely large selection of fresh beef products. From ground beef and beef liver to tomahawk steaks and porterhouse steaks and everything in between. There is a large selection of bacons and sausages. Any type of pork product you need. Lots of chicken and other poultry. They even have some frozen seafood. There is also local maple syrup, local honey, and many other local products. You can find fresh eggs and milk. There is also raw milk available in gallon and half gallon containers. The employee at the checkout explained how every item has a code and how everything is guaranteed. They will also take special orders. Great prices for fresh, natural meat products. This will be the place to purchase all of my meat from now on. Check out their Facebook page for more information or visit their website. Update... this is still my favorite place to buy all my meat and poultry. I've never had a bad piece of meat from here. Don't forget to stock your freezer with their...
Read moreSo first year bought a fore quarter of just the regular beef they have. First time so didn't really understand what I was getting and what options I had for cuts and such. First impression was this taste like beef that I grew up with (in my 60's) and very good. Only issue the ground beef was too fatty but I didn't know better on the grind.
Well, this year I bought a half of their black label, and it is fantastic, great taste, nice marbling and I asked for 90-10 on the ground beef which turned out perfectly the way I like it for grilling.
My only recommendation for people like me who are new to this is perhaps provide a little more educational material. So we know or at least have an idea of what cuts we can garner from the cow. While they are helpful on the phone, it's tough when you don't know the difference between a chuck roast and chuck eye ...
