The Farmer's Rail

I wanted to buy a fresh, local, farm raised turkey for Thanksgiving this year. This shop was recommended. I've driven by it numerous times, but never visited. I went online and purchased a 15-18 pound bird. Awesomely, there was an option to have them cut up the turkey so I didn't have to. You see, I'm of the mindset that a pre-segmented bird is easier to cook. I've cooked many whole turkeys in the past, and my friends, I am done with that! I'm a big believer in cooking turkey parts rather than a whole turkey. It can produce a jucier, more flavorful, more evenly cooked bird. And The Farmer's Rail's willingness to chop up the bird for me makes that task even easier.The bird was the most flavorful turkey that I've ever cooked. I used a dry brine (salt/pepper/brown sugar), let it sit in the fridge uncovered overnight, and the pieces fully cooked in just over an hour. That is a new record for me and to getting a better result was my reward. My guests raved about my turkey. As far as turkey goes, it doesn't get any better than this.

Excellent meat market! The meat in the case is super fresh and there are some unique choices of cuts. The butchers can also trim cuts from the back of one should need a bigger cut than what is in the case. In addition to fresh meat in the case, there are also other food items available too. What was very cool to see is that there were baked goods from the Akron area and local pierogies and pasta in one of the freezer cases. This place also has top notch customer service! The people working behind the cases and counters are super helpful. We were thanked for shopping there today! Will rerun soon to buy more meat and other goodies!

Your one stop shop for an epic picnic. I heard about Farmer's Rail from a friend who's been going here for years essentially asks for a whole carved up pig that she can then freeze and store for all her pork needs. Sourced by Brunty Farms and other local partners, Farmer's Rail seems barely more than a deli counter off Massilon - but the variety packed into the small space and spilling out onto the curb is awe-inspiring. There's ample parking directly in front of the store as well as in the dirt lot along the side of the shop. A small selection of produce can be found outside and inside the store, but the main attractions are their choice cuts of meat - beef, pork, poultry, lamb, seafood, all fresh and local. My purpose for going was to find charcuterie supplies, and in addition to the tasty Iberico spicy chorizo sausage, sorpresatta, and salami with black truffles that I bought, I came away with premium steak burger patties for 50% off. Definitely rummage through the discount coolers located outside to see what good deals there might be on frozen meats. If you're feeding an army, Farmer's Rail sells pretty much the whole hog (pun intended) and offers curbside pickup - order in advance the day before, and they'll have your goods ready when you arrive. Just pop the trunk open and they'll deposit your haul, contact-free!

Great place to eat . Enjoyed the good food and the atmosphere. Service was great! Will be back soon,

Sometimes, it's the drop off location in my DoorDash territory that makes my heart go pitter-pat... this morning The Farmer's Rail triggered that reaction. I did not have time to buy anything but I will be back with a bushel of cash!

I love this place. This is a local farm that free range is all their animals. Their meat was in such high demand instead of going to the farm to buy the meat they opened up the storefront. They couldn't keep up the supply so now they also carry other local farmers free range meat. All the meat is marked accordingly so you know if it's Brunty Farms or a different farm in the area. Everything is no nitrate no preservatives and processed all naturally cheese and meat. You can't get it better anywhere else in the area.

Friendly staff, well marked cases, and a quick check out line. Plenty of room for the 7 patron max and all staff wear masks.Kabobs and stuffed meatballs sold by the each were highlights of this trip. Have been using the curbside process this past year and love the holiday drive though pick up!

Hubby and I stopped her for the 1st time. We ended up purchasing a number of items. They were running a sale the day we went, they had 6-7 coolers out front of the store with signs that indicated what the discount was for each cooler. We got 4 packs of Italian sausage for $1 a piece. The service was great, the store itself was kind of small, but had a cute small town feel to it. Hubby and I purchased the Italian pinwheels for dinner tonight. It was flank steak, with mozzarella, pepperoni and green onions with a pepper crust. They were delicious! We cooked them on our Blackstone Griddle and were delicious. We will be going back in the future. Their prices were good, quality was impeccable and service was great. I'm so happy we checked out this gem.

I have always loved this place! I shop there all of the time. This year I bought a ham and a turkey breast, macaroni and cheese, stuffing, seafood and a chartcut tray to add to our normal spread. We have ordered for years. This was the best ham we have ever had! Everything else was great as always.

This is my first review of ANY kind, but my recent experience with dealing with "The Farmer's Rail" has prompted me to share my visit. I had called to inquire about a smoked salmon dip that I had purchased in the past. Unfortunately, they no longer offer it. I was able to speak with Kody, the manager, and he, to my surprise offered to create a "batch" just for me! I was and still am impressed with this AMAZING type of service in a world of the lack of customer satisfaction. Kody went above and beyond! The end product is superb and hopefully it is now a staple item. FIVE STARS... should be a 10 Star Rating!!!
