Toronto is home to many butcher shops, meat vendors and grocery stores. Some deliver and some don’t. To determine which one is the best is up for debate. Streets of Toronto researched the best native to Toronto meat delivery options for in and outside of Toronto. Below the best 3 meat delivery services in Toronto and the GTA:
1. Farm Club Meats
Based in Richmond Hill, Farm Club Meats offers a large variety of meat and fish. Ranging from Grass-fed beef to AAA-Beef and wild caught fish to sustainable farm raised fish. Many research and comparison blogs rate Farm Club to be the best option available in Toronto. Farm club does not only offer a large variety, the prices are the best compared to all services. Where other companies lack transparency, Farm Club simply lists the price per lbs on their site. Most of their products are better priced ever compared to wholesale clubs like Costco and on top of that the delivery is free as long as you order $399 or more. Farm club focuses on making quality affordable. Their ordering system is simply and straight forward, no gimmicks. Increments are by 10lb to give customers wholesale pricing.
Don’t live in the GTA? Not a problem, Farm Club mentions on their site that delivery is available throughout Ontario and Quebec.
