Once upon a time — 25 years ago to be exact — a young P.E.I native picked up a butcher knife and never turned back. Now it has been some time since that young man started his long career in the butcher industry, but his values still rang true: unprocessed, hormone-free, properly aged meats, while still being easy on the pocket book. This man's name is Cornelis (Cory) Lamers. Cory had a vision of the butchers of old, and keeping to the traditions in use 40 years ago such as hang drying meat for 28-30+ days to ensure quality and tenderness. Local was key as well. Keeping 95% of the store a 120-mile radius of the selected location and providing fresh options for today’s family. Alongside Cory stands his wife Sheryl. Together, they set to make this dream a reality, opening a shop in Woodstock with local products, gluten free options, low sodium, reliable services and affordable pricing for families young and old.
