Autonomy Farms - Bakersfield, California

I purchased a mix box and chickens. So far everything we tried were tasty. There was a missing chicken from the order, but Meredith was very responsive and shipped the missing chicken. I read reviews about poor customer service, but I received great customer service.

Although this area was a beautiful landscape, I will never be staying here! Be AWARE do not bring your animals, they will be attacked by the dogs. Especially the bulldog, it had my dog pinned down and biting it not letting us grab her! Very dissatisfied and disappointed that we asked for a refund and didn’t receive it because “we didn’t follow the farm rules” understand we were at the farm maybe 20 minutes and didn’t stay. We also weren’t there long enough to break any rules and we were VERY respectful and nice toward the owner while asking for the refund. If you want to stay at this farm allow yourself to know that refunds aren’t available apparently. Absolutely astonished at the disrespectful way me and my family were treated while talking to the owner.

So far I have ordered several things from Autonomy farms and feel they have great customer service. I have been wanting to find a local farm, where I can find good quality meat and eggs and I have not been disappointed. They have the option for local delivery and pick-up here in Bakersfield and I have utilized both. Do yourself a favor and try their bacon (They have a bacon/burger subscription), it is the best I have ever had!

Editing this review at the request of autonomy farms. They have told me they will not refund my money unless I delete my review but I've just updated it to be most accurate. I will insert ** where edits have been made. This review is regarding the subscription meat boxes they provide. Originally ordered this because it had minimal wrapping and delivered to my farmers market. The service is so horribly disorganized, it's a wonder they get anything accomplished. Multiple times I received incomplete boxes because the attendant doesn't have a checklist to ensure she's handing out full orders. I was told it was my responsibility to verify I got everything complete, which I understand but when you're busy grocery shopping and the attendant says "here you go, that's all of it", it can be easy to trust that they are doing their job. Also it's super complicated to switch subscription boxes (from chicken/beef to chicken, etc) ***This makes it confusing to know which subscriptions are still active or not, which can result in you getting charges you were not planning on because in order to switch you need to start a new subscription and pause an existing one.
Customer service response time (via email) is slow because "they are farmers" which is understandable but I think waiting a month for response is a little much. Although if you leave a negative review, they will respond within the hour! Also my previous version stated they had no phone number, which was incorrect. It is on their website under contact us, but is not listed on receipts or automated email communications where I was solely looking.

Originally the variety and quality of meat was enough for me to deal with the customer service but they've started putting more cheap cuts and the same cheap cuts every month. I was attempting to go around this issue by changing up my boxes but then I landed in a whole new issue.

This service is absolutely great if nothing ever goes wrong with your order or if you don't ever need to make changes. If not and you need to deal with them directly, good luck! Like they told me, their type of product can be found anywhere (and prob with way better service!)

I've been a customer for years. I used to pick it up at the farmers market but now they deliver. Its fantastic meat and I love knowing I'm supporting local people. I haven't had any issue with my orders.

Very friendly people. We were just visiting the farms around the Bakersfield area and this farm was beautiful so we stopped by and spoke to owner, she welcomed us her to farm and offered free eggs and explained everything about her farm. Will definitely visit again.. Thank you.
