    “Finally checked out Ventura Meat Company and yeah… this is the kind of spot that makes you side eye grocery store meat counters forever. You can tell there’s real care behind what they do. Everything feels intentional, from the quality of the meat to the fact that they practice whole-animal butchery and source locally through Hobson Family Farms. Love supporting businesses that are actually rooted in the community instead of just slapping “local” on a label. Also obsessed that they make everything in-house… jerky, sausages, beef sticks, bone broth powder, seasonings, even beef tallow. They also carry artisan bread, fresh produce, and organic milk, so somehow I walked in for meat and left feeling like a pioneer woman lol. The space itself feels warm, welcoming, and very Ventura in the best way. Clean, rustic, community-oriented… the kind of place where you can tell the regulars genuinely love coming in. It has that old-school neighborhood butcher shop energy but without feeling intimidating or pretentious. The staff was super welcoming and patient answering questions without making anyone feel intimidated. Whether you know your cuts of meat or you’re just there because someone told you “trust me,” they make the experience approachable. Honestly feels like one of Ventura’s hidden gems. Made my husband very happy 😭 he literally made flank steak the second we got home and was completely content. Now he’s suddenly talking about buying a smoker!”

    “Do you love making beef jerky on your smoker?? If so, this is THE place to buy your meat. A friend, who is an awesome cook, swears by their meat (milanesa). I bought 4 lbs. of Milanesa. The cost was $18.31. I believe that is a fair price. Very fair for great quality, thinly priced meat. The butchers are always friendly. Why not give it 5 stars, you ask?? I will tell you. My issue was at checkout. I was about to pay cash. I noticed that would leave me with about a buck in my wallet. I asked if I could pay with a debit card. The lady said yes. She quickly said the total. I nodded & handed her my debit card. The price was .50 cents higher. I believe in transparency. Please put signs up at the register saying that you are charging extra to use a debit card. If Arco gas stations can do it, so can you. Here is the recipe I followed: Hubby used bottled teriyaki. His sauce was also yummy.”
