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.

We ending up buying a few spices and sauces as well as some sausage and burgers. The burgers had so much flavour and were so juicy and cooked up well. The blend of spices they put into their meats are unbeatable. We will definitely being going back sometime soon!

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

It is not as strong as when I was a kid growing up in sha-wiggity, but some of the lingering elements are still there. Halenda's is a meat lovers wet dream. You want some excellent kielbasa (or as my dad calls it...horse cock...klassy, I know), thick peameal bacon, shish kebabs that make you have indigestion for days, schnitzel, pierogies made by the ladies at one of the Ukrainian churches, cabbage rolls, and any other eastern European delight....go here NOW! If you are in the south end at lunch time, you can get hot take out that is amazing and will require a nap after indulging. I love it when my mama comes and visits me and brings me Halenda's stuff. Yummmmmmy. If the south shwa location scares you, there are others north of the 401. Who knew the shwa could have a good chain of stores?! Huh!

They sell them at .50 A piece or $5 for a back of 10-15 pepperettes. The people on the phones are useless too. Had no knowledge on pricing till you ask more than 3 times how much the pepperettes are. Called regular store and head office. They need to educate themselves more on their product pricing so it doesn't take 3 times to be asked the price. If I worked for a head office, I would expect that my employees would expect me to know pricing. Don't buy their pepperettes. They rip you off. $240 plus taxes and shipping for a box of 240 pepperettes. Absolutely ridiculous. Go to your actual local venders, they deserve your money more.

I have been shopping there for years and will never by my meat from anywhere else. I love the small town, family run feel in an otherwise large faceless city. The selection is top notch, and the meat is always very fresh an ready for the BBQ. For the first time shopper park on the street, it is easier, and don't hesitate to ask questions from the staff, especially the owner, they all know their stuff and seem to love what they do.

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!
