When I first walked in the doors the man on the right was asleep at his desk. He had no shoes on and his stained, hole filled socks were sticking out from under his desk. Once the man woke up he was very rude and you could hardly understand what he was saying. There were people in another office off to the side that never came out. They were talking loudly and poorly of another individual. Once I picked up my pork, I was missing 2 sides out of 6 and when I said something they acted like it didn't matter. My bacon wasn't weighed out right and I came home with someone elses sausage! T&E has taken a turn for the worst. I know there are limited processors in the area but if you can help it, don't take your animals here! Rude and very unprofessional!

From June 2011 to June 2012 I worked at this establishment. While I worked here I received almost daily criticism about being Jewish While everyone else on the job was Cristian and had major objections to working with someone who had a different belief system. At one point a coworker threatened me with Violence While HR said "this is a meat plant "as a reason why he would do nothing about it and at one point that HR person even threatened to punch me in the head. He no longer works there. I don't recommend this place if you're Jewish or an intellectual because they don't like that here!

Nice enough folks to do business with, Mostly nice people to work with but there is a toxic environment where people tend to act like highschool kids instead of actual adults. Not to mention they teach to you things that are outside the guidelines of USDA but will throw you under the bus if you are the one caught doing it without ever truly teaching you the proper methods. Folks here will constantly whisper behind your back but hide face when you call them out on it.

Great cuts, great packaging and super friendly. This was our first time using T&E and what a pleasant surprise to see professional butchering. Far better than the local competitor. They made perfect cuts and made use of all they could from the hanging weight. See ya next year T&E!

Friendly efficient people. The meat we received was butchered well and packed perfectly. 5 out of seven stars for a perfect score. We will return. Especially nice at this time of the year.

We have had difficulty with T&E over the years, and it's getting worse, even as their prices go up and up. Packages are often not sealed properly. When they notice they messed one up, they DON'T fix it. They just shove the bad pack inside another pack and try to re-seal. That usually doesn't work, and either way we certainly can't take that messy, horrible looking double package to sell at a USDA store! It looks awful!Ground beef is often discolored in many packs, with ice crystals everywhere.If you try to discuss issues with staff, they are aggressively nonchalant to downright rude.It's a shame to see a local place go downhill. I guess they don't have to address their quality issues because it's so hard to find other USDA butchers in the area. But eventually, there will be more USDA options. Also, people like us who want quality packaging are willing to drive further, so I'm concerned about them long-term. We go basically anywhere else now.

I know one of the head inspectors and they they are highly recommended for their cleanliness. I have always had my stuff processed there and they do a great job. Meat looks good and it is seasoned good. The only two things I wish they would do different is make more flavors especially for the brats and change the way they do custom labels. Other company's do them for free or cheaper. Other than that they are great. Thanks Harvest Meadow Farm

The staff and holding facility here are so nice, helpful, kind and gentle for/with the animals. They took time to help us with the cut sheet and we look forward to using them for processing again.

John and Travis are top notch. They were very accommodating. This was my first steer that I have had butchered and they walked me through the entire process. I will continue to use them in the future.

Wonderful first experience with T&E! Everyone went out of their way to make our order perfect and easily manageable, even though it wasn't a typical order. Thanks so much! We will be back!

Last of a dying breed. An independent butcher shop that still focuses on quality product, good prices and serving the local community. We are always greeted with a smile, hello and an offer to help. Also, there is an entire section dedicated to Polyface farms (Joel Salatin) and their sustainable agriculture. This was our original draw to T&E but it is the quality meet and friendly service that keeps us coming back. I really like that I know who my money is supporting vs. buying meat at a supermarket. Count me as a regular.
