Valley Farm Market

This is an awesome market! Love their variety of breads, tortillas and excellent meat and fish– I’ve just become a grill queen and this market never let’s me down! Carne Asada– is fabulous!

The best meat department and fresh seafood around. Really good selection of craft beer and the fruits and vegetables are always nice and fresh. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. This place has the best meat department in San Diego county that I have been to and I throw a lot of bbqs and smoke a lot of meat. Try them out you won’t regret it.

Been coming to this place for years!!! Best meat in Town. Adding the BBQ Shack outside is AWESOME!!! I’m kinda lazy, soooo the friendly folks at Valley Farm BBQ the meat in the front for a tasty lunch or dinner. That is just the tip of the iceberg. Head on inside and check out the Craft Brew they carry. WOW!!! Derek has helped me pair a great steak with a great beer. Thanks for all the incredible meals!!!

Love, love, love this Market! Their Carne Asada is out of this world!! I love getting their Monster Shrimp they are freakin huge, and delish cooked on the grill!

Just stopped by here after work because I heard around town that they sell Ahi poke!
I couldn’t believe it, AHI POKE! I’ve driven to Claremont before to JUST to get some good poke so I had to check it out.
I haven’t been in valley farm since I was a kid, but it’s still the same, cute little store I remember! They sell tons of craft beers, produce, and have a phenomenal meat selection as well.
The service was above and beyond, everyone that works there is so nice and helpful. And not to mention they had wonderful attitudes! I got my poke at a amazing prize! (19.99 a pound which is killer for fresh poke!!!). I will definitely be back! So impressed with the quality and the experience I had in the store overall. Thank you!

Best meat ever! Imprerial Valley meat is their specialty, it just melts in your mouth I imagine that’s the reason it costs $ 8.99lb. The Pollo Asado is really good also and they sometimes have it on special for $ 2.99 lb. Most of their meats are All Natural and they have a good selection of Organic wines!

Great imperial valley carne asada, chicken and fresh fish. I’m a fan of family owned businesses. Their guacamole and salsa are very good. I like their fresh made dishes, salads and imported Julian apple pies. I buy a lot of their fresh wild salmon and shrimp there. I believe Thursdays are the best days to come get freshest fish. Pricing sure beats Haggen. They have a little BBQ place out front where you can get a a hot and fresh BBQ sandwich. Very convenient and good.

i guess i was right!!! the owner got back with me 25 days ago but haven’t heard anything since. i was treated badly and i know why! my family and friends will not give this place our money anymore! im a resident of this area (28) years!!! ive never been treated that way in my neighborhood!!! wow.
i gave 1 star because i couldn’t give 0.

This is what we need to go back to– small grocery shops that provide customer service and fresh foods, including plenty of locally grown fruits and veggies. Every market should aspire to be more like valley farm.

Best little market! I highly recommend the short ribs and sausages.

The meat is super fresh and delicious. Steaks are amazing. All else is a little pricey but I guess that’s to be expected at a small market.

One of the greatest establishments in east county. The butcher shop in the back has everything you need. If you’re a fan of Iowa meat farms, you’ll love this spot — it’s similar but bigger and better. I’d also recommend trying the little bbq shack out front. These guys and ladies really know what they’re doing. MERICA.

My mother in law raves about how awesome this place is and now that I’ve been here I can agree with her.
The meat counter in the back is well stocked and the staff is very friendly. I was helped by the heavily tattooed man and even though his appearance is intense, he taught me the difference between choice and prime and asked me about my day. It’s nice to see establishments not discriminating against employees with tattoos.
Also the patron in front of me at the register talked to me about my son and how his son is all grown up and such. Nice people here.

My wife bought a steak (Akaushi) and her mouth-​watering description was tempting enough that I lifted my self-​imposed embargo on meat (stopped eating meat a few months ago). Lemme tell you, it was worth it! Fantastic flavor and Scott cut a great steak to go along with the great customer service. First time shopping here and we will be back.

I just can’t get enough of this place, especially since I’m back to working around the corner. As always, fantastic meat, fish, and lots of craft beer.
Now, they’re carrying some grass fed beef. Not just run of the mill grass fed, but Akaushi Beef, which is a Wagyu variety, similar to Kobe beef.
Had a couple New York strips of the Akaushi a week or so ago, and they were full of marbled fat, unbelievably tender, and only a couple bucks more than the typical prime angus that’s always in the case. Unbelievable texture from all of the marbling, and it’s even supposed to be good for you. Looking forward to seeing some other cuts available.
If you haven’t been in here in a while, it’s worth the trip. Hands down, best meat counter around with lots of unique sausages, marinated meats, and of course, great steaks.
They’ve always got some smoked on premises barbecue in the hot case that makes for a real easy, good, take-​home dinner.

A great little market. I won’t go as far as to say gourmet, but they carry the best of a lot of things. Dudley’s bread for example, Julian pies as another. The meat counter is where it’s at however. An excellent assortment of goodies to toss on the grill. Now the best part, you don’t see it ask. I wanted a 2 inch thick ribeye, they went in the back, pulled out the whole thing, and cut me what I asked for. Want better :)…they’ve got aged beef too, 28 day, sometimes 45 day. Expensive, but it is worth a try if you bbq a lot. The Carne Asada is tender and well prepared, (not my particular favorite, although I have reviewed one I think that is, if you take a look in my history), but my friends like it, and the quality is outstanding, and I do buy it a lot. Also, when they have it, the chicken salad is the best in town.

I love this place for meat, bread, beer, fish, and impulse buying. The employees are friendly and helpful.
Their Stone smoked porter sausages are the most beer-​flavored I have had and I love them. The aloha beef is another favorite. The chicken popper was eh (I have made better). I had a killer swordfish steak from here-​like BUTTAH. Seriously melted in my mouth. LOVE that they have Sadie Rose breads here, and Julian pies galore.
The negatives: I bought mozzarella in water from here only to get home and find it was WAY past its expiration date. They replaced it, of course, but it was neglected for a long time for it to be there so long after expiration. Another time, we bought corn and opened one up to find it eaten, with caterpillar still inside. So the produce is pesticide free? Not sure actually, but that one gave me a surprise.
The cider selection here is great, and for being a small market they have an impressive amount of marinades, canned goods, baking supplies, etc. We also buy Traeger pellets here. All in all, a great local market for getting good meat and definitely worth checking out!

This is my go-​to meat market. Quality meat for all of our holidays, family get togethers, weekend bbq’ s, and weeknight meals. The corned beef at St Patty’s day is amazing, their bratwurst is my favorite, the sushi grade ahi is a regular purchase, as well as the poke salad. The store prepared carne asada, chorizo, and salsa are also must try items.
They have a large selection of beers and liquor. The produce section includes locally grown goods.

It’s always great to support local markets. It’s even better when those local markets are really good too. Valley Farm Market was completely unknown to me until I came across locations that Sadie Rose Baking Company sold their products through. So while looking for large sized pretzel buns by Sadie Rose, they listed this place as a carrier of their products. Low and behold, Valley Farm Market had them. Otherwise I would have never known this place existed only a few miles away from me.
So on top of having the pretzel buns I was looking for, they also offer a huge selection of Beer, cooking spices, barbecue and hot sauces. The really cool gem here though is their butcher/​meat department. A lot of good quality meats here, definitely a great place to pick up all your barbecue needs.
The bread/​bun aisle was little messy when I was there but overall they still had plenty of items to chose from. The pricing on some items are more expensive than you might find at your Wal-​Mart Neighborhood market or other bargain grocers but nothing I would say would warrant any kind of panic. For the most part it is pretty much in line with most places.
The craft beer selection is extremely good, considerably better than most grocery stores I have visited. Again you might find some of the beers a dollar higher than the cheapest place you can find them but the sheer magnitude of their selection is impressive. It’s almost like they brought half the inventory from Palm Springs Liquor Market up the street into the store. It’s pretty impressive.
I was pretty impressed by the selection of good they have here. Plus, I have a place to go for some decent sized pretzel buns for the huge burgers I cook up! I’ll be back for those weekends.

All zen and nostalgia the time after time I open the door to the market.
I have been coming here along with my parents or now by myself for better than a quarter century. Family owned and operated since 1956. The hours are Monday to Friday 9am-​9pm.
A small produce section and tiny rows of essentials, they are giants in three areas.
Suds: They have the uniquest selection that I have found outside a beer driven store. Come find a new favorite and pairing for meals at home.
Sweets: They carry Julian Apple Pie, Dudley’s Fruit Bars, and Jeni’s Ice Cream. an ultra premium ohio import made from grass fed milk and cream.
Meat: The best locally for fresh cuts or for seasoned ready to grill meats and poultry.
They furnish the meat for the hidden gem BBQ stand in the corner of their parking lot.
Hope the market is around for my kids. Please support local businesses with a beating heart and soul.
