Testimonials

THANK YOU! Also, I feel like we owe Liberty Delight a big thank you just for existing. We are new parents of a 10 month old (how did 10 months go by and I still have no idea what to do with this baby?!) and I'm pretty sure our daughter is a carnivore. Her favorite food is meat (though thankfully she's only bitten me twice). But we try to know where her meat comes from and really appreciate knowing it was humanely raised and can feel good with her eating it.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure over half of her calories right now come from meatballs of the various ground meats and shredded chicken and pork that we get from you.  So THANK YOU!

Been shopping there since day 1 of your store front... your slogan should be. "Liberty Delight just buy two of everything because it's just that damn good"

I will certainly express this on Saturday in person at Waverly.  I wanted you to know now, though, that the "beach box" was a total hit.  From the crab dip and crackers on our first evening at the beach, to the hot dogs and burgers, the late night pizza, the kettle corn snack, to the pancake breakfast our final beach morning.  It was full of great food and lovely surprises.

Liberty Delight Farms is the reason I eat meat.  Knowing how well Farmer Shane treats his animals and the love that goes into their care, makes me feel good to be a carnivore. And damn are their products delicious!  You can find me grilling up some of their clean, grass-fed beef in burger form or tearing into a cowboy ribeye caveman style - and the flavor is just unbeatable.  The Berkshire pork is tender and addicting - served with apple butter or a tomato rhubarb compote for me, and simply seasoned with salt and pepper for my sweetheart. I ultimately eat what the animals eat; and being able to taste those fresh, wholesome ingredients is something you'll never find at a commercial grocery store. Shane and Liberty Delight Farms produce products that you can feel good about eating, and after eating them you'll never be able to eat any other products again!

Spike Gjerde, a James Beard award winning chef and owner of Woodberry Kitchen and Parts & Labor, commented after a visit to Liberty Delight Farms with his staff…..

“So much goes into what Shane does.  I hope you don’t leave here without a sense of whenever beef  is on our menu, you’ll know where it came from and how much work went into it.  Shane is right up there among the best beef providers in the area.”

I’ve known Shane for a long time, over 10 years.  He provides a marvelous home for Great Pyrenees.  The care of the dogs is so important, so many dogs come back because people don’t spend the time to work with the dogs and teach them what they are supposed to do.  Shane has an amazing ability to connect with the dogs quickly and make them feel at home.  I always know the dogs I send to him will be well cared for.
