Where do we source our meat?

All of our meat is sourced directly from local farms. Our pork, beef, lamb, and veal is slaughtered in Amherst, Nova Scotia by Dickie's Meats as well as other local abbatoires. Our chicken is free range and comes from various farms in Nova Scotia.

We take great pride in ensuring that our meat is raised ethically and sustainably. We also make certain that we use as much of the animal as possible whether it be by making broths from the bones, bird feed balls from the beef suet, or soap from the pork fat.
