Fossil Farms catered our wedding this month and did a phenomenal job! Our wedding was held outside at a private residence on Lake Hopatcong and ensuring the offsite catering (both the food and service) ran smoothly was critical for this plated, sit down event of 130 people. Ben and Liz worked with us through all the details leading up to the event and did an awesome job the day of. Our guests loved the creative passed hors d'oeuvres (Gazpacho Shooter, Bison Steak Tartare etc.) during cocktail hour. Big thanks to Ben, Liz and the entire Fossil Farms team for helping to make our day special and memorable.

Great source of exotic, upscale, and some locally sourced meat. Bought a few times and would recommend. It's a bit pricey but what other shop in the county or state can command such a selection and variety? They also have fresh truffles in season. Customer service is good.

Their meat definitely tastes cleaner and fresher than all of grocery store meats that we purchased from. Since their animals come from farms that take care of them (better than most humans) they are on the pricier side. $15 for a pound of ground beef for example but trust me, its worth it!! Especially unfrozen if the option is available. We never bought delivery and always drove to the store. Duck, venison, chicken breast, bison, beef, steak and drum sticks were all great quality in our experience. Also purchased venison dog treats and dog food that we served to my sisters dog raw. It contained vegetables like carrot and peas that he finished in minutes... chow down. Again, it's pricey but reasonably so bc the meat is fed great, and are cared for than most places you buy meat from. I highly recommend if you want to really want to impress your guests for Thanksgiving dinner. Please take the drive though, I haven't seen good reviews for delivery since packages have been damaged. The butchers really know their meats and cuts, ask them any questions and I'm sure they'll know :) they've been really helpful in my experience. Military discount is accepted.

Not what you're told. Hardly any fresh steaks in the counter. Actually there was only 2. They both looked like they were sitting there for two or three days. Everything is deep frozen. No fresh chicken, veal, lamb or pork to buy here. Truffle hamburgers were disgusting. Threw them out after two bites. Herb/garlic butter was also disgusting. Tasted bad. Ruined 2 steaks ( that I bought elsewhere). Forget this self aggrandizing freak show. It's a waste of time and gas to get there! And a waste of money to buy anything in the place! Skip it! Nothing here.

Ordered catering from here and while certainly very expensive, the food was very good. My personal favorites were the jalapeno cornbread, alligator bites, and tenderloin. They do offer private chef and events as well but it seemed to be at a bad time since I was told a few staff members quit and so they discouraged us from that option. Just make sure you decide what you want ahead of time since they aren't exactly great at customizing menus or options for you.

We were fortunate to have 3 NY strip steaks gifted to us by a cousin for a special occasion as a surprise. We live in CT, and only eat organic free from hormones meats. The order arrived very well packed in ice that didn’t melt for another week after we received the shipment.Because I am a very picky steak eater, (and my cousin knows this), I was not expecting too much. Plus my husband can not chew tough meat. Much to our surprise it was absolutely delicious, tasty and tender. The best we’ve ever had. The steaks are worth every penny and we will be ordering more in the future. We highly recommend their products for your good healthy meals.Thank you Fossil Farms - keep up the great work!

I only discovered this little gem a few months ago. Incredible quality meat available locally. I've used delivery services such as Butcher Box and have actually slowed down those orders in favor of Fossil Farms. Great selection and helpful staff.

This place has helped us cope with the loss of dining experiences due to COVID. The staff is always so helpful and patient, and I appreciate the variety and cooking tips I find when I visit! Thanks to Fossil Farms, we have been able to elevate our recipes with bison, alligator, elk, and high quality local chicken/pork/beef. We love trying out their rotating cold specialties (like the 5-spice charcuterie or local cheese) and the plat du jour (incredible BBQ chicken). Their thick-cut bacon is the best I've ever had, and their beef Wellington was the highlight of the 2020 holiday season. Thanks for being a bright spot in this era of social distancing!

We have ordered goose from Fossil Farms for our New Year dinner. We have ordered the goose from Fossil Farms for Thanksgiving previously and the goose was fresh and of good quality. This time the goose was frozen, with feathers sticking out, and no discount was offered for such a sub-standard product. It was too late for us to be able to order from a different place, so we had to accept the one that was offered to us, but it was the last time that we have ordered anything from Fossil Farms.

How does a person plan their New Year's Eve dinner ? If you're like me, you get together with family and friends, settle on a menu, decide who is in charge of it (guess who it was in my case) and you proceed to buy everything you need, or, because it's 2020, order online. Well, not if you happen to order with Fossil F****** Farms. One of the items I ordered from FFF was a whole wild boar shoulder which was suppose to be my NY's Eve dinner (mine and 5 other people's). I had it all planned out, bought the trimmings and everything that was going to go along with it. Placed the order on DECEMBER 18th (plenty of time ahead, don't you think ?), with a ship date of December 24th, for which the delivery was suppose to be next business day (Dec 28th). No mention of the shoulder being out of stock on the website, and was charged instantly for my order. Was emailed that I had to choose a different shipping option if I wanted to stick with the 24th ship, if not it will default to a Dec 28th ship date with delivery on the 29th. This was discussed over the phone. No mention of anything else. On the 28th I called again to check on the status, and was told that it's being shipped on the 29th now, with delivery on the 30th. No mention of anything else. On the 29th, I receive an email confirming shipping of my order, along with a separate email which let me know that I received a refund for a certain amount, WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATIONS WHATSOEVER. Looking over the invoice, I noticed that the amount I was refunded corresponds to what I paid for the boar shoulder. But the email confirming the shipping didn't say anything about it, looked as if my entire order shipped. So naturally, on the 30th, I receive the package, with everything I ordered, minus the boar shoulder. Not one f****** text message, email, phone call, since the 18th, out of professional etiquette, forget common sense, to let me know they did not have what I ordered in stock. So now, on the morning of the 31st, I'm left scrambling and having to change my entire menu for 6 people and having to go shop for it as well. Happy new year !

This company is awesome. Last week I placed an order to be shipped to California before Christmas, not only did they accommodate but they called today to tell me that they over sold and one of the items I paid for was no longer available. At first I was a little sad. I was really looking forward to that product. They made it eight without me even asking them to. They offered to switch that product out for a bigger pricier one at no additional charge. It won't be here until 12/23 (which is perfect) so I'll update with pictures once it arrives. I'm so excited to give this order to my husband for Christmas.
