Have been a Genuine Food customer for years. Love their meat. Recently got a smoked ham from them and prepared it for the holidays. It was amazing! Moist, flavorful and not at all salty! Family who do not always care for ham loved it!  Don’t think we’ll ever be able to eat grocery store ham again. Thanks Genuine Food!

I love everything about this CSA. The quality is great, and the variety keeps things interesting. Pickup is a breeze. We shop at Prigel anyway for milk, eggs, and ice cream. The price is right and I'm happy to support local farmers doing the right thing for the animals, our health, and the environment.

Signed up for this CSA a couple months ago.  Great quality, I always get new things to try, and it keeps me learning new things since sometimes I get cuts I've never heard of and I have to look them up.  So far I've never had anything that wasn't great!

The best value for local quality grass-fed/finished beef in Maryland.  I currently get 1 full beef share monthly via pickup and have been completely satisfied with the quality, flavor, quantity and variety of cuts provided, which changes slightly each month. The share comes frozen with meats usually packed within the last 6-12 months and weighs every bit of what's advertised.  Cheaper than most grocery stores lb. for lb; at a much higher quality.  The beef fat is usually a darker shade of yellow indicating a grass-fed or finished product and tastes amazing compared to your average grain-fed grocery store meats.  So if your looking for a higher quality local beef at or around the same prices as your local grocery store, I would recommend The Genuine Food Company.

My husband and I stumbled up on the Genuine Food Co. meat share nearly 4 years ago through the Green Onion Market and Clementine restaurant in Hamilton. We love to eat at local farm-to-table restaurants and decided we wanted to try to do the same at home. We had been searching for a good source of local, humanely raised meat, and since joining the meat share, we haven't purchased meat at a grocery store (other than the Green Onion) - for just about 4 years now! The quality of the meat is outstanding, it doesn't even compare to so-called "organic" meat found in most grocery stores. I often find myself in wonder of the amazing flavor of something as simple as ground beef. We love supporting local farms, especially ones that follow sustainable, humane and eco-friendly standards. We will continue to support Genuine Food Co. for many years to come!

I signed up for the meat CSA - first time ever - because I wanted to start eating more local and supporting smaller business. Great decision, I cannot tell you how impressive the quality and variety of meats is!!!

First and foremost, the ground beef is the highest quality I've ever purchased. I'm not trying be dramatic, but I have never cooked a burger that tasty before.

Made some delicious pulled pork, pot roast, and have half my brisket in the sous vide right now preparing for brisket tacos tonight.

Even better - my freezer is still full with over half the meat, and I pick up my next box this weekend! Looking forward to having an even wider variety of delicious cuts of meat and a full belly. I'll be signing up for the 3-month CSA at least twice a year (it'll take me a couple months to eat through my freezer, hehe)
