Landes Fresh Meats — Local services in Clayton

We have been Landes customers for many years because we like their meats. This morning we showed up to purchase our Christmas roast and noticed the checkout lady was not wearing a mask. Many of the clerks were wearing their masks below their noses, and one held her mask away from her face to speak to us, which pretty much defeats the purpose. I had to send my 75-year-old mother out to the car while I finished making our purchases.

When I politely asked the checkout lady why she wasn't wearing a mask, she didn't answer me, but pointed to a written sign that self-righteously declared that not all of their employees wore masks but that they considered themselves to be adhering to safety protocols (they did not elaborate on what those protocols were) and should not be "vilified" for not wearing masks.

Sorry lady, but it's the law in Ohio that individuals wear masks when in indoor public locations during this pandemic. And it's not as if the governor woke up one day and decided to inconvenience you--there are valid public health reasons for this rule.

We will be shopping elsewhere for our meats...

This place has everything: fresh homemade baked goods, an outdoor fruit and vegetable stand in the summer, and of course a nice selection of meat.

Pies come ready made in individual and regular sizes, and about a dozen flavors. And these are the only store-bought black raspberry pies I've had that can rival my mom's recipe! We've also had positive experiences with steaks and unique local cheeses.

The prices here are reasonable, service is friendly, and products are...

I really love the freshness and quality of the food, however, I recently purchased chicken noodle soup and was wondering if you’ve changed the recipe? It wasn’t quite as tasty as previous ones? The noodles were very mushy and the very little chicken was stringy. Maybe it was just a not so good batch. I’ll definitely continue to shop there and maybe next time it will be back to the old recipe. ...
