I want to like this place, but the product and service does not deserve the price. While it is one of the only places to get iberico ham, nothing else is worthwhile. I've been cooking steak a long time, and was excited to try their dry aged ribeye; unfortunately it was dry and flavorless, certainly not worth the premium. To top it all off, the butcher here is rude and passive aggressive. The drive to Glenwood is worth every minute compared to this place.

An amazing place full of superior meats, much made locally but also premium product from around the world. The fuet is a hiking essential! Also, there are mainstay meats that are always there but also a varied selection that is seasonal or one offs. I am always surprised and delighted by the new flavors to try.

Amazing selection of pork products, they have things that are impossible to find anywhere else,... reasonable prices and great service. Their bbq pork on saturdays is also FANTASTIC. Literally can't think of anything that would make this place better... maybe Cheese parings? Oh wait, that's literally right next door.

This is one of those places you love and don't want to talk about because you don't want to make them so busy that they are then sold out of all your favourite things. Their chicken liver mouse is outta this world, no other compares.

I love everything about this place and rarely buy cured meats anywhere else. I noticed one review on here complaining about their dry cured ribeye but I think the reviewer was in error because the Whole Beast doesn't sell steaks. Maybe he was talking about the butcher next door...the Village Butcher...which is also excellent.

Walked in unsure of what I wanted. The person working offered to put something together for me and asked for my suggested price point. He suggested a bit lower price since it was just a starter for a couple people and I was adding bread and cheese. I can’t make decisions to save my life and this was a great offer! I should really come here more often!

Makes a great selection of cured meats - it's my go to stop when I'm making an appetizer plate or packing a hike picnic. My favourite snack is the coriander beef jerky, it's extra dry and reminds me of biltong.
