Gordon Dey Farms, LLC

Best place to get fresh meat in the Plainsboro area.

nice place to get fresh meat. specially chicken and duck. even though the place is busy, the staff is always pleasant and attentive.

I’ve been coming to Gordon Dey Farms with my mum since I was about 5 years old. I remember when she would tell me stories about how the original owners would laugh and chuckle when I would run around chasing chickens and of course try to ride the goats like a horse. It’s a place that is near and dear to my heart and is much more then just a slaughter house. It’s that kind of place where you can walk around and instantly remember your childhood and the happy memories you shared with your parents.
This place is family owned and operated for about 38 years and have about 5 to 9 employees and you can tell how much love is put into a farm based off the quality of animals that are raised there. Most of the members of this farm live right on the premises which ensures all animals are safe even thru the coldest winters and worst weather.
I am 29 years old now and I still visit the farm with my mom today. I don’t chase the chickens anymore but once in a while I still enjoy riding the goats, lol
You can hand pick a variety of different chickens or you can let one of the staff members pick it for you. 8 out of 10 times when I visit the farm, Im coming for the chickens and the fresh eggs.
On special days, I might order a lamb or a pig. If you never had a pig roast, this is where you start. I’ve seen them feed the animals here and everything is all natural. No crap is put into the food to enhance the animal like your normal super market produce.
Ive seen people come from all over to visit this farm and the next time you sit down to have a meal at your favorite restaurant, don’t be surprised if what your eating comes from here.
One thing to remember this place is a cash only farm and I enjoy that because it helps keep the cost down and allows the owner to pass on the savings. Where can you get a whole chicken these days for about $ 7 dollars?
Every person is entitled to their opinion but I saw one comment on here which made me upset to read. My only advice would be to go back and try the farm again. Hopefully, you’ll have a better experience next time.
This Gem is a must visit!

1^st class outfit.
i roast at least a dozen pigs and a lamb or two a year and will only use them! if time is at a premium i can call ahead, place an order by weight and how i need it dressed, and it’s in the walk in refrigerator when i get there. i do, however, prefer showing up choosing from the large stock of grain fed pigs and taking home the tasty, fresh, and precision dressed animal to prepare for the next day’s event.
they have an outstanding selection of livestock from chickens, to steer, to rabbits, pheasants, to everything in between and serve restaurants and individuals alike.

I come to Dey Farms quite frequently. Their variety and freshness is exceptional. All the animals are live and you can choose which you’d like, depending on your use for it and price point. I don’t know much about choosing an animal, but they are always so helpful in making my decision. Whether I want a chicken to roast or stew, lamb to grill or roast, they suggest what’s best ! They have the best chicken. I can obviously tell from the broth when cooking the chicken for soup, it is so savory ! Although they do get very busy on weekends on holidays, you can call ahead and place an order and it will be ready for you when you arrive ! Overall, great experience ! I will never purchase meat from a supermarket again, it can’t get any fresher to this, from farm to table !

We bought a chicken today. We told them we wanted a roaster and they chose a brown hen, about 5.5 lbs live weight. When we got home we weighed the bird and it was over 7 lbs cleaned. Apparently they gave us someone else’s chicken. We cooked it anyway and it was so tough and stringy that it was inedible. It’s now in the freezer and will be taken back for a refund. I doubt we will ever buy another chicken at Dey Farms. The process of ordering and identifying whether you’re getting the bird you selected is totally dysfunctional. We will stick with Whole Foods. or the Amish market.

Fantastic place!
I got a pig for a pig roast here for my national guard unit. Order a week in advance and let them know how big you want it.
They also have animals that they clean and dress onsite for you.
My wife an I came back a month later and got a guinea hen which was delicious! So fresh!
I recommend bringing a cooler as the freshly killed animals need to be chilled down if you have a ways to drive home.
If you are there visiting at lunch time, there is a guy who makes great pork tacos with tongue and liver!
They also have lambs, rabbits, chickens and goats.
