Reviews for: Appenzell Farm

I ordered Passion Fruits from Puerta De Lomas Exotic Farms. They charged my credit card the middle of November, but I never received the products. I have emailed twice and phoned twice and also submitted a request for help from Local Harvest. No answers from anyone. I just filed a dispute with the credit card company. This was my first order. Looks like it will be my last. Sorry, but I really needed the fruit. Ann

Before discovering Appenzell Farm, my family couldn't find a source we trusted for chicken. We just quit eating it. Now we feel like we hit the jackpot! It's easy to get kids to eat wholesome food when it tastes this good.

I LOVE Appenzell Farm! I have been purchasing their eggs for several years, and have just enjoyed a CSA meat share this past season. Everything is top quality and tastes excellent. Plus, I feel so good about feeding my family quality food that isn't full of hormones, etc. In addition, the customer service is to exceed expectation! I feel glad to contribute to the success of this family farm!

We joined the vegetable CSA last year and received a full share during the season. We were extremely impressed with the product, the amount of food we received, the quality, and the professionalism practiced at this business.

The vegetable share offered wonderful variety, recipes, and flexible pick up schedule. The food was fresh and beautiful.

The animals on the farm are treated wonderfully and are all healthy and vibrant. They are truly living a wonderful life outdoors where nature intended.

We have no hesitation in recommending the CSA to our friends and family and feel that once people try this service they will stick with it.

I got the half chicken share cut-up parts this last year and absolutely loved it. Shares were generous and reasonably priced for the amounts. I have also purchased 4 turkeys from them in the last two years and was very satisfied with the taste and quality.

We signed up for 1/2 share produce and full chicken shares. Great assortment of produce, and well worth the cost. The full chicken shares is the same. Two processed chickens a month, one for immediate roasting and one for the freezer!

Twice the size of a grocery broiler, and a little more than twice the price. Makes sense, and it tastes like chicken!

We've being buying pasture raised chickens and grass fed beef from Appenzell for 3 years, and rabbits during the 2011 season. All products have been excellent.

We made the switch from supermarket products to fresh, wholesome products from people we know and trust. If you've not compared Appenzell chicken to supermarket chicken you'll be surprised ... it's a completely different product. Unlike store bought chicken, Appenzell chicken is flavorful and satisfying.

The grass fed beef available through Appenzell is excellent. Grass fed beef is much leaner than than grain fed beef and also much tastier. I was lucky to be involved in a 2 year project at Utah State University where we compared grass fed beef to grain fed beef. I developed a real appreciation for how beef should taste and can no longer eat grain fed beef which is fatty and lacking of real robust beef flavor. Try the beef available through Appenzell and you'll be hooked on grass fed beef.

Our family switched to a clean all natural diet 3 years ago and it has transformed our lives! Finding meat and produce that is grown naturally is often hard to come by to meet that standard. Enter Appenzell Farm! Their chicken is AMAZING. So amazing in fact, that it has ruined me. I can no longer purchase chicken from the grocery store and really struggle ordering chicken from restaurants now because I know what it could taste like without all the chemicals, hormones, and steroids that the average bird is pumped full of.

We participated in their chicken CSA half meat share for 2012, which put us on a schedule for 2 chickens a month. At first I was a little illiterate in knowing what to do with a whole chicken, not having experience cooking chicken that way. Appenzell gave me some incredible tips and now I find that it is super easy to prepare (we soak it in salt water for a few hours then roast in the oven with some spices) then we have great leftovers for a few days afterwards. We even make our own chicken broth from the remaining carcus--which makes the most amazing chicken noodle soup by the way (as in you'll be in heaven with every bite ;). I love that Appenzell was full of great tips on how to get the most use out of every part of the chicken.

We also participated in the produce share for 2012. The produce was always presented beautifully. Washed, bagged, and just overall lovely. No dirt still covered the vegetables, and always a great variety of vegetables--some of which I had never tried before. We had previously been getting our produce from a co-op (bountiful baskets) but had been disappointed in the quality. Appenzell produce was always extremely fresh and had some great recipe suggestions--especially for vegetables that were slightly less familiar.

Great farm. Great service. Great product. I'm so glad that I only live 3 miles away!

I am very impressed with the pasture raised chickens from Appenzell. I have only tried one but intend on purchasing a turkey and a 1/2 chicken share. Delicious meat! I slow cooked one half on the grill and the other conventionally in the oven. This chicken gave me three meals and soup fixins. Worth every penny! Also looking forward to trying the rabbit and goat meat. Appenzell walks the talk!

My family has been lucky enough to enjoy eggs, rabbit and chicken from Appenzell and we have enjoyed all of them. We no longer have to question the quality of the food we're buying, because we know all of Appenzell's products are wonderful. It's so nice and refreshing to eat delicious and fresh food. Keep up the good work!

If you're not already hooked on free range chicken then it's time to try. Appenzell's chickens are incredible. If you live in the Cache Vally this is the place to get your poultry.

We have enjoyed Appenzell's rabbits as well. It's the only place we know with rabbit.

Both chickens and rabbits were very well dressed and packaged.

It's great to eat tasty, wholesome food and it feels good to support a local family farm with exceptional products.

Appenzell Farm came to my rescue. As a new resident of Cache Valley, I didn't know where to go for good meat and eggs, until I found Appenzell. My husband used to refuse to eat chicken until he tried Appenzell chicken. Now he requests it for dinner often! The eggs are delicious too and we know we are giving our bodies something healthy. Thanks, Appenzell!

I am a Paleo eater and natural food is nearly impossible to buy at the store, so finding a gem like Appenzell farms has been fantastic. I took a tour and meet Jessie Iliked everything I saw and so will you. The eggs are heathy and perfect. The taste of the chickens can not be matched by anything you can find at the store. I live in WIllard and I cant find anything eles in the area that can compare. Also the price of there products is unbeliveable, check them out, If you are looking to improve your heath one simple step is to eat more naturaly, The fat profile is very much improved and micronutrient content of naturaly rasied birds(and there eggs) translates into improved omega 3 and 6 ratios. A major cause of inflamation.

What a treat to be able to get a wonderful product that is grown right here in our own valley. Talk about eating local! I love that the chicken is pasture raised. Jesse is great to work with and very accommodating. Their website is eye-catching, I love to read the blog updates and Facebook updates. I will used them again next year. Two birds fed two adults just fine as part of our normal dinner repertoire. I did not have to buy chicken from the store for 6 months. I'm almost reluctant to eat chicken from the store now since I don't know where it's coming from, and does not come anywhere the taste of fresh, local birds. The eggs and the birds are very reasonably priced.

After only one year of operation, Appenzell Farms has developed an excellent operation. They have an active presence at the Cache Valley Farmer's Market, they communicate effectively by email, blog, website, and they have great products. As a chicken owner well aware of how important it is for chickens to be able to roam, I am particularly happy that they do not use chicken tractors, which while preferable to most chicken operations, still do not allow chickens to roam and express their curiosity and delight in movement. Appenzell is doing everything right!
