I took my deer here to get processed. Had a very bad experience.
First of all, I never actually met the butcher. Everything was done via text.
The biggest thing...100 % why I am never going back and suggest you never take your deer there, the forms he has you fill out arent accurate. There was no spot for steak on the form. Which I was fine with, because i dislike venison steak. He turned some of my deer into steak without mentioning thats what happens. It sucked so bad. He aloo offers limited cuts of meat for the deer and his ground meat comes in 2 pound packages. Very impractical on my end. Probably saves him money, but think of the customer.
Also, very pushy to get my deer once done. Most deer processing takes a few weeks. He had it done in a few days. And said I had to pick it up ASAP because his freezer was full even though I was traveling. Gave me no heads up or timeline.
Over all just a bad experience and will never use this place for deer processing...
Read moreNew to the area and wanted to find a local butcher for higher quality meat than what is available at the super market. Back Home Butcher is it. I grabbed two ribeye steaks, a butter steak, as well as some fresh scrapple and beef jerky. The steaks were fantastic. The fat had far superior flavor than anything you'll find at the super market. The ribeyes were cut thinner than I like but I was told to just text in my custom order during the week and they will cut however I want, A+. The scapple was the best I've ever eaten. Perfect balance between fat, meat, and filler. It's going to be hard for me to eat brand-name scapple ever again. Jerky was super moist and delicious.
For those wondering about price, expect things to be 1.5 - 2x the price you may be used to at the super market. The higher quality is worth...
Read moreThe family that runs this shop is VERY friendly and helpful and their entire line of products is top notch! I have personally tried their soup bones for making KETO friendly bone broth, pulled pork (quart) their Delmonico/Rib Eye steak and my favorite is the high quality ground beef that they offer. There is a huge difference between the chain grocery stores meat products vs Back Home Shop and Country Store! If you care about the quality and taste of your food that you eat, give this...
