Quality Starts at the Source
Honest Sourcing You Can Taste
We go beyond great flavour—we're committed to transparency, ethical sourcing, and supporting Canadian farmers. Discover what makes our meat different, from farm to fork.
At Meaty Eats, we’re proud to offer more than just great-tasting meat—we offer transparency, traceability, and top-tier Canadian sourcing. Our customers often ask: Where does your meat come from? And we love answering that, because our sourcing is a big part of what makes us different.
We’re committed to building a sustainable, ethical, and high-quality meat supply, supporting local farmers, and never cutting corners. Here’s what you should know about the meat on your plate.
Where Our Beef Comes From: Canadian Pasture-Raised Excellence
All of our beef comes from Canada, a country known for producing some of the finest beef in the world—though it’s often underappreciated at home. We work directly with small family-run farms in Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan to source beef in small quantities, ensuring quality and care at every stage.
Our beef is pasture-raised, meaning the cattle are free to roam and graze naturally. Their diet is supplemented with sustainably harvested local silage, creating a perfect balance of health benefits and delicious flavor. While not 100% grass-fed, our beef delivers the nutrition of forage-based diets with the tender texture and rich taste traditional beef lovers enjoy.
Where Our Chicken Comes From: Ontario-Grown and Air-Chilled
We’re proud to source 100% of our chicken from Ontario, primarily from the Eastern Kawartha region. Our chicken is air-chilled, a method that enhances flavor and texture while avoiding the common industry practice of water-injection or added fillers.
You’ll never find our chicken pumped, tumbled, injected, or adulterated in any way. Just clean, local poultry, raised right and full of natural flavor.
Where Our Pork Comes From: Ontario and Quebec’s Finest
Did you know that Canadian pork is internationally recognized as some of the best in the world? Many international buyers—including airlines and fine dining establishments—specifically import Ontario and Quebec pork for their top-tier offerings.
We source our pork locally from Ontario, mostly within 150 km of our store, and some from Quebec, another highly respected pork-producing region. Our pork is fresh, ethically raised, and 100% Canadian.
Only the Good Stuff: No Preservatives, Fillers, or Junk
We take pride in offering natural, clean-label meat products. That means our sausages, burgers, and prepared meats are made from meat, salt, and spices—nothing else. No preservatives. No binders. No bread crumbs. No fillers.
All of our products are made in small batches, using a mix of old-world techniques and state-of-the-art food processing equipment. This ensures consistency, quality, and real flavor, every time.
What Does “Federally Registered” Mean?
Our products are made in federally registered facilities, which are certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). This means they meet the highest food safety standards in Canada, with daily inspections and rigorous oversight.
Federally registered meat facilities are eligible for export and must adhere to internationally recognized, science-based standards, making our products not only safe but globally competitive.
What Does Organic Mean in Meat?
Our Certified Organic meat products meet or exceed the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) Organic Standards 32.210 and 32.211. These standards govern everything from animal welfare and feed to traceability and environmental impact.
We believe organic meat should be clean, sustainable, and fully transparent—from farm to fork.
Yes, Our Meat is 100% Traceable
We guarantee full traceability for every product we sell. Each cut of meat can be traced back to the exact animal it came from, including:
Farm of origin
Animal birth date and health history
Diet and feed inputs
Processing and harvest dates
Who processed it and how
This level of traceability ensures quality, accountability, and peace of mind for you and your family.
