Harmony Farms

Best selection of raw dog food for raw feeders with lots of choices. Sonny and staff are very nice and will do their best to a accommodate your needs. They also deliver, although I like the idea of going to a butcher shop and visualizing my options.
Great selection of all kinds of meats for people, too. Plus, on weekends there’s a special treat… fresh handmade tamales are available.

I’m not one to normally leave a negative review. Unless the business really deserves it. I’ve been here once before and ordered fillet which was pretty good. There was a really nice older lady who helped me out a few months back.
I decided to pick up some beef fillet and make BBQ for myself and my wife.
I asked the younger guy at the counter for beef fillet, he asked how many pounds and I said 2. He asked how many people are going to eat I said just too.
He said no problem and went to the back to have the butcher cut the meat.
He came out with 3.24 pounds which at 19.99 per pound cost $ 65.00
2 pounds would have cost me $ 40.00
I really did not want to make a fuss over it I asked the older guy if he new I asked for 2 pounds he said yes and just looked at me and asked for the money.
I also purchased 4 pieces of lamb chops and a bag of charcoal.
Again I did not want to make a fuss over 1.24 pounds of extra meat.
But the thing that got me is really heated is there were 4 of them in front and they started laughing and talking in Mexican which to was extremely unprofessional.
I called after I left and the older guy picked up and I asked normally if someone asked you for 2 pounds of fillet do you give and charge for an extra 1.24 pounds he said Yes because we would have to throw the other 1.24 pounds in the garbage no one would buy that small of a piece.
He said in a really loud tone, bring the meat back and I can give take the 1.24 pounds back.
I said no big deal thank you and hung up.
I figured I would have left over for work!
I get home and opened the meat to marinate it. This meat is terrible it was completely black on the outside. Which means that what ever tools they are using in the back is not properly cleaned.
We cut of the black parts and are going to cook the red part so I guess I got my 2 pounds of meet but paid for 1.24 pounds that went to the trash. Now I know why they were laughing at me.
I will never step foot in this place again.
FYI I work with all ethnicities and I don’t have an issue with anyone speaking other languages by me but in this circumstance it was really really uncomfortable
See the pictures judge for yourself.
Hopefully I can find a quality butcher in the area. Just moved here.

If you are into paleo eating or the Weston price style of eating this is the place for you. It’s tiny but packed with the best meats and bones I’ve ever tasted. I do bone stocks a lot and the bones I bought were grass fed and top notch. We also tried venison and it was superb! The butchers are so nice and helpful, it’s a drive for me but totally worth it.

Best place to get whole ground pet food for raw feeders. Great selection, very fresh and family run.
Also, a great selection of exotic meats for people.

Been here one time, and I was astonished when I got inside, with so many choices from common meats to exotic, I can’t believe of how many kinds of meat this place can offer, despite of it being a pretty small place. fresh or frozen, they had it here.
I’m not an adventurous kind of person when it comes to meat, but if I ever plan to try on something new (kangaroo meat, ostrich meat). this place will be on top of my list.

Sonny has been processing wild game for me and my friends for many years. He is the main reason I use Harmony Farms and nowhere else. His pre-​packaged meats and sausages are good and I buy them frequently. I would rate Harmony Farms a 5 but I can’t because dealing w/​his wife behind the counter is a miserable experience. That lady needs a course in customer service and realize that the people who walk through your front door are the ones that pay your bills and keep you in business. You should smile and be nice to them.

I’m so happy I found Harmony farms! I had been spending soooo much money on top of the line pet food and decided to switch to raw food for my cats. I wasn’t interested in investing in some expensive meat grinder and doing it all myself (especially since I’m a vegetarian). Harmony farms makes it so easy to feed my cats a raw food diet. My cats are happier, healthier, and it’s saving me a ton of money!

I’m glad I discovered this place after deciding that I was going to buy/​portion raw meat for my girl myself after months of dropping big $$$ buying pre packaged raw meat from the pet store. I think the prices are very reasonable (or​.at least cheaper than the pre packaged raw meat at the pet store) and there is a HUGE selection of meats and meat types you can choose from for your pet. to name a few… llama, lamb, turkey, chicken, beef, venison. and many parts of each animal as well. neck, back, feet, etc.
I took off a star though, because they were not very proactive. As a first time customer I wasn’t quite sure how to go about purchasing, and nobody offered to help me until I asked. I was shown their huge list of meat selection and was a happy customer. While it does take time to defrost and individually portion the meat, I’m glad I am saving money, and I feel like my girl also enjoys the meat more, as she can crunch on the bones and such. For the pet people who have never been here before, the clipboard on the counter will contain the entire list of meat selections for pets. They don’t keep any of their pet selections in the freezers in the front of the store so it is best to ask before you start fruitlessly searching the freezers like I did.
Also, free 1 hr street parking in front of the store! Yay! I will be back!

Great selection of meat. I think I saw everything but human. Prices were very nice for the product. The two gentlemen that helped us out were very pleasant. I’ll definitely come back.

I’m a vegan who doesn’t know her way around a meat counter. But based on a recommendation, I came into Harmony Farms looking for healthful, natural, no-​additives raw food for my aging dogs. The Harmony Farms lady was kind and patient with my questions, and I left with two types of food (ground and mixed just the day before) to suit my dogs’ differing needs.
I appreciate many of the animals whose parts Harmony Farms sells are free range, vegetarian-​fed, and in the case of fish, wild caught. The prices are most reasonable. Never thought I would say I enjoyed visiting a butcher shop, but Harmony Farms is a pleasurable place I will return to every couple of weeks for fresh raw doggy food.

Decided to extend turkey dinner up to Saturday after Thanksgiving, so I called up Harmony Farms on our way back from up North. A kind gentleman over the phone said they could get one that’s been thawed out and was eager to hold one for us since we were still two hours away.
When we arrived, the older lady at the counter rang up our thawed out 10+lb turkey. I was pleased that they were still open.
I baked my turkey that same evening and had a feast for dinner and for the next three days.
Thanks Harmony Farms!

I have been coming here with my dad since i can remember. The owner is super friendly (he helped sponsor my softball team when i was in high school) is all about community. All his meat is of the highest quality and for a great deal as well. My dad is a big griller and smoker and every piece of meat where have gotten from here is so delicious even not seasoned. I highly recommend coming here, you are sure to find something everyone will like even the dog!

I purchased some ribeye last night. I only added some salt and pepper, you can tell the meat was good quality. the register lady asked to just leave it on the grill 3min each side, i took her advise and it was awesome. It was the first time i had been there, I’m eager to try other meats. I also like that they are a few minutes form my office.

We’d been here once before and I thought it would be the place to get some nice beef short ribs for a special occasion. Wrong… they gave us pieces with extremely low meat content. If you love beef fat then this is the place for you. Also, when I looked at the label that was on the bag it had the «use by date» information ripped off! Not going to trust these guys again. We’ve had better short ribs from Albertson’s.

This small shop in sleepy La Crescenta is a quiet and unassuming butcher helmed by a knowledgeable and cheerful Sonny Cabrales. While most of the product is frozen, its range is vast and broad. Better still, many local hunters bring their game here to be processed, a reputation that has been earned over the decades of the shop’s operation.
Sonny will happily give you a tour of their operations and walk-​in freezer, and you’ll gain an appreciation for the scale of its operation.
I rely on shops closer to me for fresh product or specialty cuts of the standard animals, but when I want game meats, Harmony Farms consistently delivers high quality goods.
If you’re interested in expanding your culinary horizons beyond the «Big Three» terrestrial animals, come here and put your trust in Sonny and his staff’s produce. They run a full-​service shop, so if you need specialty cuts, phone ahead and and make sure they have the primals they’d need to fulfill your needs.
I’ve had their elk, wild boar, venison, rabbit, buffalo (bison) — all were excellent. Short of having a hunter in the family, this is your best option in the Los Angeles area.

I mainly go here to pick up the 5 pound Dog Food Bucket that only costs $ 10. The buckets lasts me about 1.5−2 months at a time with my two dogs. There is a different selection of meat and vegetables; and my dogs prefer the Chicken (with or without vegetables).
Since my dogs are on a BARF diet (Bones and Raw Food/​Biologically Appropriate Raw Food) this place was recommended to me by my chiropractor who said that his client who rescues animals also goes here for that same reason. But don’t get me wrong, dog’s are immune to bacteria from raw meat, but they are not immune to parasites of any sort. So make sure while you are giving your dog this raw food meat, take some preventative measurements on parasites.
Anyway, this place has all types of things here, and previous Unilocalers have reviewed about them. And it seems to me that I am not the only one amazed on how many things this little shop has in store! It’s really a great main source to all types of meat!
Overall, great place to come to, even for your dogs as well!

Oh, you know, just my go-​to spot for picking up some alligator, frog legs, kangaroo, ostrich and such…
Ok, I wasn’t brave enough to get anything more exotic than wild boar and some venison sausages, but the other options I mentioned are available!
Their Wagyu style beef is ahhhhh-​mazing. This item is worth every $ 10ish/​lb and it isn’t frozen btw (check next section). Season and sear all sides then finish it off in a cast iron pan in the oven arund 350 degrees for about 20 min and it comes out deelicious.
My family had nothing but compliments for my cooking even though I’m sure the ridiculous marbling was a huge flavor factor ;)
Yes, most of the meat is frozen, but given that most people don’t go to the store every week for these items, please cut them a little slack! Geez.

Not only is Greg Norman and AMAZING golfer but he has his own line of Australian Wagyu that can only found in the finest butcher shops in the world (or online). Each cut of «Greg Norman Signature Wagyu» must meet the minimum BMS of 5, with BMS ranging from 5 – 11 for various cuts.
Now for for those of you who aren’t familiar with BMS (beef marbling score), it ranges from 1 – 12, with 1 being the most lean to 12 being marbled. And to break it down even more, USDA prime (the kind you get at high end steakhouses) typically has a BMS score of 4 – 5, so for BMS scores of 5 – 12 we’re talking the BEST OF THE BEST!
Now this is where HARMONY FARMS comes into play. because this mom and pop shop has everything your heart desires, including «Greg Normal Signature Wagyu» and other exotic meats like venison and wild boar.
I would recommend giving them a call if you’re looking for a specific cut of Wagyu, and definitely as what cuts they have and what the BMS score is. Most recently I was able to score some grade 8 New York Strip which was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, but also $ 19.99/lb.
If you’re looking for something cheaper you can’t go wrong with the Wagyu Trip-​tip, which is priced at $ 9.99/lb and trumps anything you can buy at the grocery store. All this wonderfully marbled cut of beef needs is a heavy hand of salt and pepper and a hot grill to achieve perfection.
APPROVED!!!

Love Harmony Farms!!! We always get our turkey here for Thanksgiving and it’s affordable and fresh. Also get other cuts of meat on occasion and soup/​marrow bones for our dogs.
Great people and family run. Check it out!

This place is cool. A butcher shop in the middle of La Crescenta that offers a wide variety of meat products: wild boar, crocodile, rabbit, duck sausages. They have less exotic meat products as well. I feel like I have to spend a half hour going through every fridge and freezer to take it all in. The prices can get expensive but you’re not going to find this stuff anywhere else. We couldn’t resist on our last visit. We bought blood sausage. I think we saw it on Bizarre Foods and everything is worth a try. Texturally, bad. Taste, decent. Don’t think we’ll get anytime soon but at least we can say we’ve had it.
Grass fed tri tip beef is an amazing deal. They come in packages of 2. Total for the both is about 20 bucks. I used to spend 10 for one on sale at Ralphs. And who knows where that steroid mutant cow came from. The taste of the grass fed makes grocery store stuff taste like junk. Prime or not.
