Acorn Acres Farm — Local services in Chesterton

I'm editing my review because I've had Google ask me many questions about Acorn Acres that a yes or no just didn't really answer. I hope this edit answers those questions a little more clearly. Before I address the questions, I want everyone to know that, of all the places I shop, I feel safest at Acorn Acres. Now, on to my answers to the questions. Yes, properly worn masks are required. Period. No, there are no barriers at the checkouts, because there's only one checkout, social distancing is encouraged, and only one person or small family is allowed to shop at a time. Yes, this may mean waiting in line, BUT, it's for everyone's health and safety. Yes, the shop is disinfected between customers, which means a little more time to wait, but it is well worth it. Let the staff get your items for you from the refrigerators and freezers; it means less they have to disinfect before the next customer enters, which means a shorter wait time for everyone. Even better, preorder online and have them bring it to your car for you. I hope this helps.

Best (only) place I know for soy-free eggs and meat. Everything from Acorn Acres Farm is soy-free, organic, and free range. For health reasons I have to avoid soy, so I'm happy to have found them. I've been buying from them for years and have never been disappointed. They offer suggestions and recipes to go with your purchase whether it's eggs, lamb, beef, pork, poultry or produce.

My review guidelines

5 start = outstanding performance (rare) 4 star= above average performance 3 star= average performance (normal / common) what we would expect! 2 star= below average 1 star= poor performance (also rare)

I don't consider 5 star or 1 star reviews Also reviews with no narrative

Stick to 2s, 3s, & 4s for best advice

And read the narrative.

Most 5 star reviews are fraudulent and place there by someone associated with the company

I inquired about facility tours, And independent lab analysis,

To authenticate their claims that their products are organic and pasture raised, with no addition of growth hormones,, antibiotics, pesticides or herbicides

They denied my inquiry

I believe this could be food fraud!

I believe they don't even raise or grow the foods themselves

I believe that they buy the products and sell them as organic, farm raised

They would not even provide me with the name of the Slaughterhouse / butcher shop that they currently use 😒

Our family recently moved to NW Indiana, and we were thrilled to discover Acorn Acres. They have a super selection of pastured meats, plus dry goods, some dairy and a small selection (in winter) of local veggies. We've enjoyed many meals featuring their delectable pork roasts, home made sausages (Mexican & Moroccan are our faves!), and we bought a stewing hen for the first time for a truly incomparable soup making experience. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. I will gladly don a mask or wait briefly outside if asked, for the superior quality products and excellent shopping...
