Toronto carnivores have become more and more demanding about knowing the wheres, whys and hows of their meats, and no place in the city answers these queries better than the Healthy Butcher. The store radiates integrity, from the grass-fed beef to the happy chickens to the heritage varieties of pork. Everything is locally sourced and organic or naturally raised. 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 sheep’s milk whey.
