Freshway Marketplace

One day I hope to be able to raise my own chickens, both for meat and for eggs. But that train hasn't pulled into the station yet. So in the mean time I try and look for the best places to source my meats and right now one place that's got my attention is Freshway Marketplace in Upland, CA. Tucked away in the heart of the Inland Empire, Freshway is a real gem. The meat is remarkably delicious and thus meets (pun intended!) not only my gastronomic standards, but my ethical ones as well. If you're anywhere near the IE, don't be fooled by its outside appearance; the meat is top quality. And while the owner, Ahmed, doesn't always have every single cut of meat, I have found he's more than willingly to accommodate your requests and can generally acquire what you want.

Great food. But if you're in a hurry call ahead of time they stick to traditional process. Flavor on point food and 🍚 on point its the real thing.

Love this market specifically for the meat department. Their meat is always fresh and competitively priced. The butchers are friendly and accommodating. Definitely a plus being able to have my meat cut and packaged the way I want it. Overall, the store is relatively clean and organized. Great service as well! The owner is kind and humble, and he always treats his customers like they're all his long-time friends.

Gentleman helping for meats is super helpful. Good place to purchase helal meat 🥩

My favorite halal shop :) Very nice staff, clean/organized, and has a great selection of fresh meat.
