Cowichan Valley Meat Market - Duncan, British Columbia

(1 star – I’d give it -100 if I could)
Deli meats are just processed torture wrapped in plastic. Every slice comes from animals that suffered unimaginable cruelty—raised in cramped, filthy conditions, torn away from their families, and slaughtered violently.

The factory farms behind deli meats prioritize profit over life, pumping animals full of antibiotics and hormones, then sending them to brutal slaughterhouses. The whole process is a nightmare of suffering, pain, and death.

Eating deli meats means supporting an industry built on exploitation and environmental destruction. There is zero need for these toxic, cruel products in your diet. It’s time to stop funding this cycle of abuse.

Choose compassion. Choose plant-based. End the cruelty.

Highly recommend! We always look forward to our weekly visit to pick up various forms of beef as well as the Irish bacon! The staff are always polite, honest and hardworking. They have given us lots of ideas and advice on cooking meat, we have enjoyed getting to know them! Great prices too!

Their meat is the best i have ever tasted! They are always willing to see if they have a specific cut I'm looking for, if it's not in the ready cases. They are proud to sell locally sourced products, and the quality definitely shows! Everything is always fresh and SO delicious.

This is one of the best meat markets on the Island! Most, if not all products are from their own farm. Wonderful lamb!!! But everything we have purchased over the years has been absolutely fantastic!

Bought turkey cranberry sausages last week from their freezer. 4 sausages were $18.51. Very pricey, but we have had them before, and liked them very much and get them for a treat once in a while.
This time they were so salty we couldn’t eat them(and I love lots of salt usually). I called and spoke to the woman owner and explained to her all of the above, but she refused to refund them. I had saved the cooked sausages to bring them in to prove this to her, along with the package and bill. But still a “no “ on any refund. Unfortunate, because I definitely won’t buy here again and I’m trying very hard to buy local.

They are very wonderful people and had exactly what I wanted. Will be back again soon. Hopefully I cook this corned beef brisket right.

What a great find. This is the largest butcherbshop i've ever been in. Great selection of fresh meat and frozen as well, as sausages raw, smoked etc, pepperoni, cheese, kolbassa,....ALL MADE ON SITE!!! I purchased some Irish bacon and some double-smoked bacon to compare. The Irish was amazing, delicately flavoured while the double-smoked exploded with flavour without tasting like someone had soaked it in liquid smoke the way many factory-smoked bacons are. And there was no water and little melted fat in the skillets. Dinner tonight will be smoked turkey sausage with baked beans. This long-time family business is a really great find.
