Wells Pork and Beef

I have used Well’s for years but there is a new owner now and it has gone way downhill. I have given them two chances and the second was worse than the first.
First visit
1) ground meat had inedible cartilage ground in
2) packages of shanks, 4 per package — two packages only had 3 shanks. These animals had 4 legs
3) didn’t freeze some of the parts and they spoiled — they didn’t seem to really care
4) one whole ham was cut through the middle to the bone
Second visit
1) asked for shanks 8– 10 inches. Some were as short as 3 inches
2) pieces of meat were slice 2 times like they weren’t sure where to cut
3) the racks were to be left whole and the cut the ribs completely off.
Not only do they not know what they are doing, the owner, Teresa admits she knows nothing about cutting meat but assures people they know what they are doing. They deny that they ever do anything wrong and will only argue if you try to discuss it with them. I have dealt with few people as inconsiderate as Teresa. This company does not deserve to stay in business.

Wells Pork and Beef is located out in Bragaw, NC but also has a location up at the state farmers market. I recently ordered a full pig for a pig picking and Wells Pork and Beef was absolutely wonderful. Although they say that they typically need a full week to process a large order, they were kind enough to rush my order that I placed 4 days before. Additionally, when I called the day before they were able to accomodate my request to get a larger pig. Their prices are far more reasonable than the other meat providers out at the farmer’s market. They were also wonderful about giving us some instructions since it was our first time cooking a full pig. They also have a large variety of other beef and pork products that I have cooked with before. Their meat is always fresh, tender, and absolutely delicious.
