When ordering, his butcher will custom cut if you only buy a 1/4 cow when others won't unless you get a1/2 -or more. They also dry age 21 days and sometimes longer but depends on the meat and what the butcher feels is best. The steaks and roasts have an incredible meaty flavour which makes me wonder where the flavour goes from supermarket meat? Please take your time when choosing what you put in your body. Get to know the farmer and make wise choices. We have tried a few different beef farmers in the area and Cartwright is by far the best value and quality we have found to date.

The feed is gown on site and ranges between legumes, grain and pasture hayage. They do not use growth hormones or steroids. Whenever possible they use the concept of organic practices. We have bought various cuts of pork which all were superb, but the smoked cured bacon is amazing. We loved it so much that we bought all the bacon from a 1/2 hog once. However it's in such demand that obtaining that much at once is rare. However you can buy a 1/2 or whole hog and get all of the cuts at the same time. Stan and Mary Ann are wonderfully friendly people and will talk about and explain anything you ever wanted to know about their farm or farming in general. Call ahead to ensure someone will be home when you stop by. Advance ordering is recommended

The shop is not big, actually is quite small but you are only here to buy meat and then go so not a big deal... the place is clean and the meat selection looks high quality to me! They sell many cut of steaks and you can view their website to see what kind of meat they are selling. In this visit, the Tajima Wagyu is on special (frozen) so I decided to give it a try and also get a piece of Hida tenderloin (fresh- not frozen). The meat are packaged in a vacuum sealed bag. I recommend to check out this place if u like Wagyu particularly, and the price is reasonable too. It's expensive but high quality so it's worth it. Off topic abit... after buying the Wagyu, I still think the best way to enjoy Wagyu beef is to cut the waygu into individual smaller byte size pieces and then "pan fry"/grill/bbq on the dining table one piece at a time and then just eat with salt and pepper... so soft and yummy

She left feeling very embarrassed and I felt it was uncalled for. This happened awhile back and she is still uncomfortable going back to this store, so I am leaving a review in hopes that attitudes change. Staff has always been great, and the meat excellent. It's a shame his poor attitude had to ruin the experience for her. So much for the "friendly" neighborhood butcher.

There is…read morean excellent selection of fresh and prepared meats, and the service is always great - we are greeted by name! There is also an extremely wide selection of snacks, condiments, spices and sauces, including many of my favourite brands. We've found some great surprises like fig-filled chocolate bars and polish mayonnaise. If you're planning a barbecue, go for the Delmonico steaks - thick, juicy and always awesome. For lunch, try the sun dried tomato turkey, and the smoked cheddar cheese. Only cons here are that there's no fresh seafood (although there's plenty of frozen available), and the only bread is already sliced. I can only hope for a future expansion with fish market and bakery. If you're in Brooklin, try Buckingham's for your butcher shop needs!

I had initially wanted to try their beef chuck ribs but it did not look as good as it did on their website so I passed on it. Instead, I settled on the marinated sirloin that the Wild Fork food truck outside was offering as a free sample, as these were so yummy. We are usually not big sirloin fans but their samples were THAT good that we ended up buying the exact product we sampled. I am not sure if the food truck is there all the time but when we visited on a Saturday afternoon, the Wild Fork food truck was parked in front of the store in the parking lot, offering generous amount of free samples of their product. When we went, they were offering the marinated sirloin and pulled pork, both of which were delicious! I would also like to commend them for keeping their store impeccably clean, including the washrooms for their shoppers. It was refreshing to see a store like this that offers washrooms for their shoppers and keep it spa level clean. Thank you! Our first visit was such a pleasant one and I can't wait to try out more of their product soon!
