Mint Creek Farm

I got 2 of the fresh pasture raised bronze broad breasted turkeys from here for this past Thanksgiving and working with Mint Creek Farm was very easy. I dry brined the turkey for 2 days and it turned out to be one of the best turkeys I have cooked/had. I will continue ordering from this farm.

I've been getting Mint Creek Farm's meat CSA for 2 months. The quality of meat is really high, and there's a great variety of different cuts. I love being inspired every week and cooking new dishes. Plus, it's really easy to add a specific cut or other items and each week and get it all delivered at the same time. The employees are easy to work with too!

I have been getting meat through their CSA program for the past 3 months. Everything has been super easy and I love the creative roulette. Quality>quantity. It's not cheap but they do it the right way. You can see the difference in the meat when you cook it. Delicious.

The turkey was outstanding. This was our first purchase from Mint Creek Farms and we will be trying other items from there store. We also used the-recipe we found on there website, our turkey turned out perfectly. It was cooked to perfection. Moist, juicy, tender and delicious! This was our first fresh not frozen bird and now we are spoiled. Nothing compares to this. What's even better is it's a local farm that has very high standards of raising and slaughtering the animals. This farm should be given 10 stars. Looking forward to trying some other meats and fresh eggs.

Avoid avoid avoid. Communicating with this farm is like pulling teeth. I placed an order 4/30/22 and provided them my desired cuts. On 6/3:22 I received an email with an invoice stating “Apologies on my delayed response! I just checked in with the team and it will be two weeks to shipping. We also have an extra fee of $50 for shipping such a large order. Unfortunately our website only collects a flat rate!”

We bought a NY strip from the Evanston farmers market and when we got home we realized it was only 5.5 oz of steak for $28 or about $80 a lb! Just far too expensive imo….

Their stand at Lincoln park farmers market is amazing. The breakfast sandwich with sausage and veggies with cherry bomb hot sauce is probably one of the top bfast sandwiches I've ever had!

The highest quality meat you will get in the Chicago area, the delivery option is great and they have a great selection.

I am SUPER DISAPPOINTED with the customer service from Mint Creek Farms and Patchwork Farms. The CSA is PRICEY and I expected excellence. The eggs are FANTASTIC - but, you can buy them at farmers markets for the same price. The meat is frozen and hit and miss. Lamb neck bones? For the price - that's kind of insulting. The produce seems to be what they need to get rid of and it quickly spoils. I have been to an event at Mint Creek and it is a well-run humane farm. The people are nice. Their is simply NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Imperfect Produce dies a MUCH better job. Go to Mint Creek for the dinner and tour. Buy the scrumptious eggs at Farmers Markets. Skip the over-priced CSA. It seems like it's an after-thought to move surplus product and not worth the cost.

We initially signed up for a 4 week CSA. The eggs and variety of meat in our CSA is exceptional! We are now signing up for a longer term CSA as our first four weeks have been such a great experience. Raya has been more than accommodating with any special requests and is so quick to let us know if anything is changing in our CSA. Sometimes the laying hens don't lay as many eggs in the winter so I always appreciate Raya reaching out and keeping us informed. We are also looking forward to our first farm tour at Mint Creek this spring to further connect with the animals and the farm. I truly value the way they raise and treat their animals. I know that we are not only investing in our own health, but in the health of the environment by supporting Mint Creek Farm.

i've purchased eggs from mint creek for years but recently joined their meat csa. they are super easy to deal w/ & very responsive via email. i'm actually a vegetarian - i feed my dog raw food and was spending way too much on him, when i emailed about getting a share for dog-grade cuts they were super cool and have made slight adjustments without any grumbles.
