Marksbury Farm Market — Local services in Danville

In regards to Marksbury Processing only: I desperately want to love this company. I've been doing business there over three years now. We've taken in hogs and cattle a couple times a year. I love their concepts and ideas, and ethics but they aren't able to accommodate the smaller producers. They've messed up orders every single time I've taken something there. The whole business set up is black and white, unmoving, and lacks the flexibility that a small start up farm which truly epitomizes "local" requires. The customer service is beyond lacking. When you call in to schedule a processing date expect to wait, you may be limited on how many animals you can bring, and make sure you put everything on your calendar because you won't get a reminder other than cutting links emailed the day they need them. I received them once with less than two hours notice by the time they needed them submitted. Also if they have concerns about your processing requests, in my experience, they will only email you, unless they've really messed something up. Make sure you're on time to drop off or else they'll turn you away. Even when it's 8:07. I could handle issues on the production side if there was some flexibility or at least sympathy from the folks working the desk. I could handle poor customer service if they usually got our orders correct. In my opinion they need to completely re evaluate their process and keep producers better informed and create some kind of margin on our side for error. They need to email or call and confirm drop off dates and time options a week ahead and send cutting links a week before with the deadline. There are a million little things they could do to make their relationship and reputation among farmers a lot better. But it has become glaringly obvious that this company doesn't care about my business regardless of my numerous attempts to work with them and give them benefit of the doubt. For my fellow small farmers working off farm jobs please realize that as wonderful as this company is and how wonderful they could be, there is no room for your...

9 months ago I left a really positive review for this place, we have been coming here for years and always LOVED this place. Today we returned and I cannot stress how awful there new business model is . Everything I loved about this place has changed. You have 2 types of burger to choose from or the meal of the day .

When you order a burger instead of getting a perfectly dressed and super yummy burger you get a burger and a bun in a paper plate and told to dress it yourself.

Your side options are a fun sized bag of chips. They no longer offer all of there best foods . No lamb burger, no lemon drop salad, no pulled pork sandwich .

Truly disappointed and dissatisfied that one of my families favorite places to go together , has been reduced to this .

Posting their new “menu “...

IS THIS TRUE??!! A recent New York Times piece has exposed Whole Foods for selling chicken processed by migrant children. The exposé found that a wholesale producer of meat called Marksbury Farm Foods LLC, employed minors on several occasions, often for long shifts doing hard labor. Whole Foods buys meat from Marksbury Farm Foods. If you’ve bought meat at a Whole Foods, there’s a chance it was processed by children. Whole Foods Market promotes itself with the slogan, "Be Happy, Healthy, and Whole," and declares on its website that "Our mission is to nourish people and the planet." Yet its customers may drive home with food which is the foul fruit of illegal...
