What people say about Shipley Farms
These reviews are about the farm, the farm store and visits, not about this particular cut.
Absolutely incredible tour, from cows, goats, gardening to gorgeous Mountain View's, it's truly an incredible experience you can't miss out on when you visit Boone! Not to mention the farm store with great meats!! 11/10 highly recommend!
My boys and I had a great time touring the farm and learning the history of Shipley Farms. Farmer Bob did such a great job explaining the history of the farm and showing us around. Farmer Bob is one of those people that you can talk to for hours and soak up everything he has to share. My 17 year old son talked about our tour for hours and kept saying repeatedly how great of a time he had. We also purchased several ribeyes and filets, and they were phenomenal. We will definitely stop by again the next time we are in the area.
We’ve been purchasing our beef from Shipley for the past couple of years. It’s consistently amazing! My family loves it so much, it’s our go-to option for celebration meals. Today I enjoyed getting to pick up my order at the Blowing Rock Farmer’s Market. You couldn’t ask for nicer, more knowledgeable folks. Thank you Shipley Family and staff for making such quality beef, sharing your knowledge and always making a visit with y’all a joy!
While visiting the Boone, NC area we found this wonderful resource and purchased several items from the farm store to take home to Charlotte, NC. EVERYTHING was simply outstanding and we couldn't be more pleased; it is nearly impossible to find food of this quality in this "heavily processed to feed millions" world of food Inc. We have made Shipley Farms our exclusive supplier of beef and pork (and some goodies for our Alaskan Malamute Ranger) via a subscription service with them that delivers to our home. Do not hesitate to give them a try, you WILL be back for more!
Very surprised at how tough the steaks were, perhaps that is result of grass fed. But disappointed on a taste basis. I’ll buy non grass fed meat in the grocery store that tastes better and is a lot less expensive.
Sold by the pound. The price shown is an estimate based on average weight. At checkout we place a temporary hold slightly above that estimate, then charge only the exact weight we pack for you. Anything held above the final amount is released back to your card.
Vaca Vieja is beef from mature, pasture-finished cattle, an approach long favoured in Spain and the Basque country and increasingly sought by steakhouses here. Age gives the meat a deeper, more savoury, more mineral character than beef from a young animal. The tenderloin keeps its tenderness while carrying that fuller flavour.
Hereford, Red and Black Angus and South Devon cattle, raised on open mountain pasture, never confined, never in a feedlot, never given growth hormones, and never fed antibiotics to promote growth.
Sear hard, rest well, and serve at medium-rare. If you have found conventional filet tender but mild, this is the version with something to say.
