Why Urban Butcher?
Urban Butcher was founded on the belief that cooking should be inspiring, not intimidating. We offer the finest selection of ethically and naturally raised local meats, including premium Alberta beef, pasture-raised pork, free-range, free-run organic poultry, and a variety of high-quality game meats. Our shop also features exclusive locally-made deli products, convenient pre-marinated items ready for the grill or oven, and recipe inspiration to help you create memorable meals at home.
Proudly part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Resorts family of companies, Urban Butcher is led by Operating Partner Andrew Mattar, whose passion for quality, craftsmanship, and local sourcing is at the heart of everything we do.
