Done with that bland bargain bin meat yet?

Don’t settle for mystery meat. Know your farmer, know your food.

Phenomenal cuts of meat! Steaks were awesome! Just pulled a pork butt off the smoker that’s been on for 12 hours also. If you’re looking for top quality meat raised right on there farm look no further! Todd, Brian, Jim and Kathy are doing an outstanding job!

This was my 1st time EVER to eat a complete steak without the desire to add any sauce. Not only that, but to be even more clear... it was too hot outside today for me to want to grille outside so, I ate the #BoneInRibeye straight off the #CastIronSkillet!!!

Jimmy N.

Best ground beef around and a great price!!! We will always buy our beef here.

Michelle T.

I had a filet and hamburger from Hertzog Meat Co. The filet was melt in your mouth and the best steak I have ever had. No seasoning needed when eating the filet or hamburger. I will never buy beef from anywhere else. The facility was spotless and customer service was great.

Whitney E.

We have tried the ribeye, pork butt, hamburger and filets, so far. Fabulous quality meat! Even the fat has a great flavor! 😲 You just can't beat the quality and price of this meat!

Beth A.

We love Hertzog's! Their meat products are unbeatable! The prices are great and our personal favorite is the brisket!

Megan A.

Wow! Just cooked up our fillets and they we delicious. Can't wait to try everything else we got. The facility is very clean and welcoming. Love being able to support a local family farm. ❤

Michelle C.

This meat is just different, it tastes so clean. I don’t know exactly what they are doing, but they are doing it right. Easily the best beef we have had! Also all the other meats we’ve had have been delicious especially the hot dogs and I don’t eat hot dogs much. Thank you and we will be back for more!

Wendy C.

Some of the best meat I’ve ever cooked up, and just as good as the meat delivered to us through Butcher Box. Pictured is the strip, but we also had some ground beef which was great in a chopped cheese. Highly recommend!

Dalton F.

Bought ribeye steak, skirt steak, hamburger and hot dogs last Friday. Grilled Ribeyes last night. Best steak I’ve had in years. Grilled hot dogs today very good. Using hamburger and skirt steak tomorrow night for family dinner. Highly recomend this place.

Craig H.

So far we love the filet mignon. So tender and delicious! The chuck roast is also very good and tender especially in the crockpot. The beef bologna is Great. So from what we have tried I would say that everything they sell is going to be good!

We put Hertzog's KC Strips on the smoker tonight and they were unbelievable! Ultra juicy and flavorful! Highly recommend!!
