The Healthy Butcher

Toronto carnivores have become more and more demanding about knowing the wheres, whys and hows of their meats, and no other butcher in the city better answers these queries than the Healthy Butcher. The store radiates integrity, from the grass-fed beef to the happy chickens. Everything is certified organic, with the pedigree papers to prove it. Unusual cuts, less-popular meats and specialty breeds are all commonplace here, and the staff take delight in special requests. For the ultimate in local meat, try pork fed on the sheep’s milk whey left over from Monforte Dairy’s excellent cheesemaking.
