Local Grass Fed Beef in the NOVA Area? - Page 1

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Local Grass Fed Beef in the NOVA Area?

Posted: 9/18/2017 6:47:54 PM EDT

Hey VaHTF has never let me down so I figured I would post this here and see what pops up. I would live to support a local business and a gun owner would be even better.

Does anyone know anywhere I can get grass fed beef locally in the NOVA area? I'd like to buy directly from the farmer or a local business that's trustworthy. I'd like to avoid the "boutique" butcher shops you see in McLean and Arlington if possible.

Thanks Guys.

Dead set on grass fed?

Grew up in this area, don't know these guys specifically, but they've been around a while.

If you're not dead set on grass fed,

Wilsons in Catlett 540-788-4615

Two fat butchers in Front Royal 540-635-6900

Gores in Stephens City 540-869-1029

I've personally bought meat from Wilsons. Gore's are who I use to kill my cows. I've used two fat butchers in the past as well.

I came to post about Wilsons. I'm not sure if it's grass fed or not but it's tasty and they got everything you can imagine for sale there.

I believe they are still cash only.

Another is Grange and Grub in Purcellville. I get most of my meat and chicken there.

+1 for Two Fat Butchers for service and quality, but I've not gotten any beef from them. Just a pig or 2.

I know you said none of the local "boutique" stuff, but I've gotten grass fed prime briskets from Let's Meat On The Avenue for under $8 a pound in the recent past. Doesn't hurt to check them out if you want to avoid the drive.

Gores has my vote.

I've taken sheep to butcher and I can name one not to go to. But don't think they serve the general public any more anyway.

Still looking for a source on a good whole packer brisket.

All of the local grocery stores only sell flats.

If you know someone with a membership, the Restaurant Depot on Eisenhower always has a good selection of packer briskets, typically in the choice equivalent grade. (Around $4 per pound). Springfield Butcher typically has them in stock as well, at a little higher price.

@bulldog1967, ETA that there's also a Restaurant Depot in Chantilly, which should be closer to you. If you have a business tax ID, that should be all you need to get a membership.

Tag for interest, that's near the funshow location. I need to get Va Tax ID anyhow.

I also interested in splitting a 1/4 steer or pig, son moved out of the house amd don't need 1/2 anymore.

Fields of Athenry in Purcellville
Martins Beef in The Plains
Smithfield Farm in Berryville area

Best to go to your local framers market. Most of them show up to those and have a great selection. We use Feilds of Athenry. The quality is always excellent and prices are good.
