Our
Story

Family owned and operated since 1984

From our humble beginnings in the meatpacking district of New York some three generations ago, to the day we opened the doors to The Butcher Shoppe in Toronto’s Kensington Market, our family’s passion has always been artisan butchery. It’s these deep roots that keep us committed to the traditional way of doing things — like custom orders, old-school methods and a personal, hands-on approach — even as we’ve grown into the wholesale trade across Southern Ontario.

It all comes down to the people

What we’ve learned throughout The Butcher Shoppe’s long history is that the people are the most important part. Our more than 200 employees truly care about our clients and suppliers and we always work hard to accommodate your needs to the highest of standards.

The farms that we choose to partner with are an extension of the Butcher Shoppe family. We only work with farmers who share our values, care about the details and who focus on doing things the all-natural way with artisan techniques. Our strong relationships allow us to source and supply the very best meat and poultry products while always offering complete transparency of origin, ingredients and methods.
