Worth the trip
By: Steve (Nov 29, 2008)
I had NO IDEA about this farm, despite having lived 4 miles away for about 4 years. After I found it (on this website) I've been a regular.
I say "ditto" to everything that the other reviewers have posted. Everything here is exceptional...I've had the beef , chicken, pork, and rabbit. All are wonderful. Its what meat should taste like. Home made pork & chicken sausages (breakfast, italian, spinach/feta, herb&wine) are all great.

Hemlock Hill's the real thing!
By: (Nov 25, 2008)
When we first moved to this area and found Hemlock Hill Farm, we started buying John DeMaria's chickens. Raised in suburban Texas (yes, there really is such a place!), I'd never tasted anything so fresh and real in my life. Now virtually all our meat comes from Hemlock Hill--everything except bison and venison--and we both feel better knowing all John's animals are treated right and taste right too! Can't wait to tuck into the lovely turkey we just got for Thanksgiving... Go, now, get one before he runs out!

Love buying from Farmer John
By: Michelle (Jul 27, 2008)
This is what buying local is all about. Veggies, eggs and meat from the farm are great. John also sells additional products from other farmers and is happy to tell you where everything is from. Particularly like the yummy ground beef although I grind it a bit more for burgers.

I Buy All My Meat Here!
By: John (Jul 3, 2008)
Since discovering Hemlock Hill, I buy ALL my meat here. The beef is excellent, though the selection varies depending on when an animal has been butchered--but be aware that even cuts like chuck are better than most supermarket sirloin. Their turkeys at holiday time are the best you will find without mailordering at exhorbitant prices--they never fail to cook up very tasty and juicy, with no injected saline or other "additives". Their chickens are divine, and all the other product items I have purchased - sausages, bacon, eggs, etc. are excellent. Their ground beef makes the best burgers ever, and oh, don't let me forget--if you like lamb, buy anything they have --shanks, chops, stew meat. Supporting our local farms is very important, and the De Marias do a terrific job and deserve your business. Their prices are also very reasonable for the quality of product you get, especially in comparison to the inferior products you get at higher prices in "health food" stores like Mrs. Greens.

Local and Delicious!
By: Amy Kefauver (May 30, 2008)
I am thrilled to have found Hemlock Hill Farm. The farm is gorgeous, with happy animals and beautiful flowers everywhere. The meat, both frozen and fresh, from the farm store was delicious -- completely unlike anything you'd buy in a grocery store. The price per pound was about halfway between what you'd pay for the grocery store meat and for meat in the grocery store labeled "organic". I was very willing to pay the few extra dollars because the taste was noticeably better. It's important to me to buy meat that has been raised and slaughtered ethically and humanely. To find such a place in my neighborhood was almost too good to believe! Go visit Farmer John -- you won't regret it!
