Hind Quarter Meat Co. began its journey in 2021 as a unique pop-up delivery service with a vision to bring exceptional meat directly from local farmers to your table. Our commitment to quality and passion for the craft led us to evolve and expand our offerings. Today, we proudly offer a wide array of products, including custom dry-aged beef, handcrafted sausages, gourmet burgers, and more. We are honored to have received the prestigious CommunityVotes Barrie award for Best Butcher Shop in 2022 and 2023, even without a physical storefront. Now, we're excited to announce that we've made our dream of opening a full-service butcher shop a reality!
Our store is conveniently located at the corner of Mapleview Drive W. and Veteran's Drive. Here, you'll find a diverse selection of fresh, locally sourced meats, all from the same trusted suppliers and farmers we've partnered with over the past two years. We've expanded our offerings to include exciting products from specialty producers, always with a focus on local sourcing whenever possible. In addition to our exceptional cuts of meat, we offer a delightful range of in-house prepared meals, soups, sauces, and side dishes.
At Hind Quarter Meat Co., our mission is simple: to provide our community with delicious food of uncompromising quality. We achieve this by delivering great service, meticulous attention to detail, and complete transparency in our sourcing. We believe that every meal should be a memorable experience, and we are dedicated to consistently providing you with all the elements needed for a culinary masterpiece, time after time.
Ever wondered how I became a butcher? Well, let me share my journey with you! My culinary adventure started in restaurant kitchens, where I refined my cooking skills in fine dining establishments across Ontario. It was during my time at a French bistro in Kingston that I first dabbled in butchery. Although the sous chef despised it, I fell in love with the art of butchery. I volunteered to help and began to master the craft, from cutting steaks and lamb racks to preparing tenderloins and prime ribs.
My passion for butchery grew when I moved to Toronto and joined one of the city's top high-end butchers. Here, I had my first taste of dry-aged beef, an experience that changed my life. The precision, speed, and attention to detail in butchery were captivating. The commitment to minimizing waste and respecting animals and farmers filled me with pride.
Over 15 years later, I'm still thrilled to cut into a piece of aged beef and am constantly seeking ways to enhance my skills and create exciting new culinary delights. At Hind Quarter, we believe that our connection with customers is crucial. We encourage you to reach out with any questions about the farming, processing, cutting, or cooking of meat.
Thank you for choosing Hind Quarter Meat Co. We look forward to serving you and sharing our passion for exceptional meat and memorable meals!
Best regards,
Jack Clarke
