Our story began in 1995 with a vision to provide the community with meats that are not just superior in taste but also ethically sourced. We work closely with local farms in Southern Alberta, ensuring that every product we offer comes from animals raised in humane conditions, free of hormones and antibiotics. Our store in Southeast Calgary is a testament to our commitment, bustling with activity, offering the freshest cuts, prepared meals, and a full-service. Our expert butchers are artisans in their craft, each cut reflecting their skill and dedication. We are more than a butcher; we are a trusted partner in your culinary journey, ensuring each meal is memorable.
