This place is Berks County's best kept secret!
*Excellent quality meat at a very affordable price*
We buy a 1/2 steer every year, and we are so glad that a friend recommended Peterson & Shaner Black Angus Farm to us. Chad is very friendly, and is great at helping us figure out what cuts we want. This is now our go-to place to purchase every year, and we are glad to support a local family/farm/business.

We always raised our own beef, but buying bulk from Peterson and Shaner has proven to be an economical and very tasty way to go. Good price, great beef.

Purchased 1/2 cow Summer 2015. Wow! The beef is tasty with excellent marbling. I met one of the brothers. Very polite. This is a family owned operation that raises mostly grass fed beef. These look like Happy Cows, not the pitiful cows in California. The are free to graze and roam all year. When it time to sell, the spend a bit in the grain fed area to promote the wonderful marbling. Again, if you have been buying at the grocery, you haven't had real meat. There is a wonderful little butcher in Wyomissing, but the price is very high. The meat is great. Oh yeah, he gets his meat from this farm. Now, the real selling point is Carl, the butcher. The process starts by Carl calling you to discuss the cuts. He does it any way you want. 1.75 in cowboy rib eye, no problem. Favor porterhouses, no problem. Don't now what a Bohler roast is (Yummy), he'll fill you in and even recommend how to cook it. Tri-tip, yep he knows what it is. Carl is an old-world butcher that posses the gift of gab and it an artist when it comes to butchering. Too bad they don't do pigs! Carl will keep you in the loop. After the cow is selected and killed, it is allowed to age. Carl does the carving and the packaging to your specification. All of the meat is quickly CRYOVAC'd and frozen. He even puts an extra piece over the bones so there will be no inadvertent punctures. He also "nets" pieces as appropriate and can do burgers; the ground meat comes in handy 1.5 to 2 # sleeves. All in all, much better than anticipated in terms of service, product, quality, and taste. 2 hints: 1) go in with a friend for 1/4 apiece unless you are up for 1/2 of the cow. 2) Go buy a dedicated stand up (front door) freezer so that you can store and, more importantly, find everything. The total price per pound is less than you will pay for inferior red sludge beef at the grocery. Who knows where that meat comes from and what the cows were fed?!

We purchased a half in July 2009. It was a great experience and the quality of meat was unbelievable. I would highly recommend the farm to anyone.
