The Village Butcher

Whole animal butcher shop selling Vancouver Island raised meats, with cuts made to order on request.

Known for whole-animal butchery, and the cuts most counters never carry

Our take

The Village Butcher breaks down whole animals, so you can get cuts most shops don't stock, and staff will happily talk you through cooking them. The meat comes from named Island farms: heritage pork from Stillmeadow and lamb from Parry Bay, both in Metchosin, grass-fed beef from Tannadice in Comox, and poultry from Kildonan in Saanich.

Local tipCall 250-598-1115 to order custom cuts ahead.
