Halal Pastures Farm - Rock Tavern, New York

I bought 20lbs of organic chicken from Halal Pastures recently and was incredibly impressed by quality, price, plus delivery. They package all chicken into two large 10lb bags and it makes for easy meal prep. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Disgusted – Unacceptable Halal Pastures Delivery

I am writing this review out of sheer frustration and disappointment regarding my recent order of halal pastures. What was supposed to be a delightful addition to my meals while I am trying to follow my new faith and only eat Halal food ; turned into an absolute nightmare.

Firstly, I was appalled to find that when my order arrived, the halal pastures were completely thawed and, quite frankly, looked far from fresh. The packaging was not only inadequate but appeared to have been tampered with from the inside, raising serious concerns about the integrity of the food I received. I expected premium quality when I ordered considering how pricy it is , and this experience was anything but that.

To make matters worse, there was a rancid smell emanating from the pastures when I opened the package. It was undeniable evidence that they had been improperly stored or transported. How is it possible in this day and age that a food business can be so careless? It is beyond me but as well dealing with their customer service was another nightmare of denying & arguing and ignorance.

I intend to file official complaints regarding this situation because it is completely unacceptable. Food safety and quality should be your top priority, and clearly, something has gone horribly wrong in this transaction. I am highly dissatisfied and will not hesitate to alert others to my experience. If you value your customers and the food industry regulations, it’s time to step up and take responsibility for your failures.

I would strongly advise anyone thinking about placing an order here to think twice!

My update for the business reply;

I must clarify the situation as I believe was communicated to your customer service right away on the same day of arrival and as a good gesture I kept everything in my freezer for you to return.

The focal point of my concern lies not with the shipping process itself, but rather the quality of the product that arrived. It’s crucial to understand that being “on time” and being in satisfactory condition are two distinctly separate issues.

The fact remains that the product did not meet the quality standards I expected and that were promised upon purchase. My intention was never to change the narrative, but to express my disappointment in a professional manner.

In regard to the box being intact, while I did indicate that the box itself showed no visible damage, this does not negate the potential for temperature-sensitive products to be compromised during transit — an issue that can arise regardless of the external condition of the packaging also considering that the package spent 3+ days in trucks which is too long for perishable items to arrive safe.

A friend of mine introduced me to this farm and I am seriously in love with all their products. I was lucky to be enrolled in CSA Organic vegetable share this year , the taste, the quality was top notch! I also absolutely love the beef and chicken! Highly recommend this place to everyone

The product are good most of the time, but the prices gotten way higher than I expected. Long time ago 300$ bought me big box of all kind of meat now it does not. So I had to stop buying from them.

I ordered a halal turkey and 3pounds of wings. Everything arrived quickly and was well packed in an ecologically friendly insulated box. Communication was EXCELLENT from the moment I called with my first question to the day the turkey arrived on my doorstep!

The turkey itself was beautiful. I have been cooking for my family Thanksgiving for about 15 years, halal turkeys for the past 6 of those. This was the best looking and tasting turkey yet! The meat was juicy and really flavorful, it was a huge hit with my husband’s family and mine. I roasted the extra wings to make stock ahead of time for gravy.

I live in a small town in Wisconsin and it’s very difficult to find organic+halal meat here. So when I found out this farm can deliver organic halal meat to where I live, I was thrilled. Before ordering I was skeptical of freshness of meat mainly due to the distance and transit time. But I’m glad I give it a try.

When I get the delivery, everything is packaged and shipped well, meat is fully frozen. Plus the meat quality is top-notch and delicious. I really have a good experience on my first try this May and I will be placing my second order soon.

We got eggs from there and I didn’t smell the stench I normally smell with eating mass produced eggs. I can’t see myself eating “regular” eggs from the store anymore. Definitely looking forward to their farmers’ markets

I ordered a whole turkey for Thanksgiving this year, and it was by far the best turkey the family and extended relatives had! At first I was cautious about the process of ordering and delivering, but after giving a call and asking about it, it was pretty straight forward. Definitely will be ordering more items from this farm in the future!
