I had to write a review to point out how friendly and welcoming Mark was.

We both loved it and will be back for more next time we're in the area. I definately recommend Country Butcher/ 2 Rooster Farm fresh and yummy products!

Plenty of frozen off season like duck meat. House cured sausages, pepperonis of several spicy levels, and bacon. The price sticker indicates the cut, price, farm where the meat originated/distance from the shop, and the animal's diet. The guy who helped me was super nice and patient with my browsing. He answered my questions and grabbed the pieces I asked for instead of the biggest ones. I've cooked up half of what I bought and the meat is excellent. The shop is spacious and comfortable and has pantry items, freezer and dairy on the perimeter walls so if you need to wait it's not unpleasant to do so.

I love a meat market especially when it isn't part of the bar scene…read more Local sustainable is the way to go and the Meat Market knows how to play to this movement. Their product is top of the line. You walk in there and the meat options are endless! I have never scene so much bacon in my life. I am a huge lover of bacon and this was the perfect spot. The staff is very knowledgeable about their cuts of meat and when they are uncertain they will call an expert from the back. I was so impressed with the enthusiasm from the staff. They answered all my silly questions and knew how to dig information out of me to understand what I wanted in meat so they could provide the best product. I have yet to enjoy their prepared foods but one day I am going to make a meal out of it. They have somosas, kebabs, sweet spud fries etc. This is one amazing market and it appears the island has embraced it as well. If you find yourself coming to the island and needing supplies you will do yourself a disservice if you don't stop by the Cowichan Valley Meat Market.

These guys are great. Covid restrictions are well followed and they always have enough staff to…read morehandle steady customer flow. The store is clean, the displays are good, and the fridges/freezers stocked well. Products are labeled and priced clearly. The store and cash is set up to allow flow and movement of customers. (Even though only 3 people are allowed in at a time, one woman barged in front of me in line to be served. But hey, that''s Victoria. I do hope the staff can stay alert and tell who is really next in line.. but I'll let that one go today.) The staff are always friendly, knowledgeable about cuts and cooking tips and have good manners which is a true bonus these days. A couple times I have called my order in and picked it up later. The orders were correctly done and priced, and I've been happy with every product I've tried. I have to admit I've decreased my consumption of meat in last 2 yrs. But, I feel better supporting local venues (not bulk stores) and local farmers. They have more than meat too - the mixed olives are fantastic.

I ordered 8 lbs of beef short ribs a day in advance and relayed they will be smoked on a Kamado Joe…read moreBBQ. I specifically stated that the ribs be large (Texas style). The next day I was excited to purchase my order. I paid $122.76, which is a higher than average price, considering I don't mind paying a bit extra for animals that are naturally raised with 'no antibiotics or hormones, free range, pastured and fed a biologically appropriate diet', and, we certainly support our local community. The following day, my husband was quite excited to season the ribs. Upon opening the package, we found the ribs to be extremely fatty and silver skin still on them. The ribs were also cut individually instead of two slabs of four ribs. What? Staff working at Farm & Field Butchers should be professional and extremely well-versed in the cuts of meat and what should or should not come off, as well as adhering to customers' requests. I have purchased previous cuts of meat from them - e.g. Rib Eye Steaks - which were also extremely fatty. Their cuts of meat are just loaded with fat, and, you are actually paying 30% of the total on simply 'fat'. Save your money people. Please go anywhere else but here... You will be disappointed, as we have been on several occasions. We are steering clear of this business in future. Tired of being disappointed and paying top dollar for mediocre product full of fat.
