I am not going to lie. The new owners are a surprise and delight. I was hesitant to stop after the change of ownership from Two Farm Chicks to Liberty Delight Farms. Take a quick rest, speak with the owners (Chris and Lauren) and be patient while they explain how the new venue has been established. Good conversation and customer etiquette helped with understanding pricing and stopping along the way after checking out Soldiers Delight. Only dinged one star for "Beautiful Man" comment (Google code switching, Zennials) which was a bit awkward before speaking with Chris more. Should really be 1/2 a start with no time to search new plants, managing kiddos and other curious patrons as well. That's on me though, I didn't expect him to be so chill. Chris has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding areas and a true "plantman". Stop by if you need green thumbing advice.
Lastly, do a few laps between their meat section and speak with Lauren if she is there. She broke down the whole transition, supply chain and expectations for the venue in a real quick convo. Plan to visit more and spend time checking out the inventory for grilling...
Read moreWe drove up from Silver Spring after doing some research on local farms that produce Berkshire pork. We were thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The shop was neat, clean, and well-stocked. The young man who helped us was delightful - so helpful and friendly. As someone who goes out of her way to shop for humanely raised animal products, I asked the young man about the animals and he remarked that the animals were treated better than the humans. Provided that is true, I will be returning for sure! The boneless ham we purchased was top-tier; the only thing that would have made it better would be if it was uncured. But the young man (I wish I had recorded his name) did say that they can offer that - I assume with some advance notice. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of the product. I sort of wanted to keep them as my little secret, but thought it only fair to support this wonderful family farm with a...
Read moreBEST tasting meat in the northeast!! Ive been getting all of my meat supply from them ever since I found them at the Bethesda Farmers market 3 years ago. Their rib eye and NY strip steak are our go to steaks, and the filet mignon is to die for and just melts in your mouth. They also have hard to find cuts of meat like flatiron, osso buco (both beef and lamb), oxtail, and ham hock. They also have short rib cut crosswise so I can make my Korean LA galbi.
On the pork department, the pork belly and bacon are sooo flavorful, almost sweet and nutty, and even the fatty part is chewy and not greasy. My family and I had the pleasure of visiting the farm today and meeting all the animals. The care they put into their livestock explains why their meat tastes so amazing! Happy animals, tasty meat,...
