We bought salmon and ginger fried chicken from these guyz. While the salmon was of good quality, the ginger fried chicken was terrible! Zero taste and too much breading. Way overpriced, even the salmon. Their website shows the products they sell but doesn’t mention any prices, you wonder why…

OK so I was just as sceptical as everyone else here at one point. It just felt strange to buy this way..however, I did. I do think the cost is high, but at a butcher it's not much different. I don't feel its fair to compare to a Costco or a flyer deal at a grocery store. This is not that. I do buy from those places as well, but I thought I would give it a try. Elaina came to my house twice before and on the third time I bought from her. I purchased a box of chicken breast and a seafood seasonal box. Now..I have never had chicken breast like this before. I usually do not like chicken breast..however It was clean , zero smell and was overall fantastic. Like really really good. In the seafood box was Lobster tail , scallops and shrimp. all clean and properly packaged. I am really excited for this. Now yes the price is high, but all meat products are Alberta raised hormone free and free range. You get what you pay for in most cases. I give them a 5 star review because A - the product is fantastic B- Elaina was not pushy in any way, the first 2 times I said no she was so polite and left promptly. No trouble there. So if anyone is reading this to see the quality...it is absolutely there.

Everyone I know who has ordered from these guys has loved the quality so I decided to give it a go!! The ginger beef is AMAZING, I saw some reviews that had criticized it for "not being flavorful" it's not packed with all the MSG and sodium you're used to in Chinese restaurants. Its a healthy alternative! Real ginger in the sauce, it's an amazing option for someone like me who wants to eat healthier but sometimes craves those junky foods. The steaks are amazing quality, you can even tell just by looking at them! The marbling! The price that everyone is complaining about is because you buy these foods by the case so it will be like $150 for 10 giant ribeye steaks which is WAAAAAY cheaper than store bought! ($150 from these guys or $400 at the store for the same amount haha) But it is a big chunk of money upfront. I would recommend if they could do one steak or maybe 4 steak bundles so people who don't have the money to drop all at once don't get sticker price shock haha. But the quality is great and if you get Drew as your rep, he's so nice and funny!! He was joking around with my boyfriend and I during the transaction, very charming man and I didn't get that pushy upselling vibe from him at all, he was so sweet and you could see how much he loves his job and how much he knows about his meats! Haha :) Thank you so much Drew, I look forward to my next case!!

They cold knocked on my door and I loved it as they were super friendly and had lots of great meat options to show me. I bought the pork chops and ginger beef and I am super impressed with the flavor of both. I will use them again. Supporting local is they way to go!

No idea on the quality of their product or taste. I'll be honest that the sign was so small on the truck, I didn't even notice it until they drove away upset that nobody would buy their meat. All we saw was two sketchy looking guys show up in a huge white van start walking around the street. Not a great sales tactic in my opinion. I don't think people want to buy meat from a 2 sketchy dudes in a white van.

Can't comment on the taste of the meat but felt a review necessary to give feedback to the company. I don't mind cold calls and the staff were SUPER - very friendly, very good at "overcoming objections" and all that good sales stuff. All the meat I saw did look excellent; vacuum sealed to perfection but your prices are INSANE. I would anticipate a top-dollar charge for local meat brought right to my door and many people will pay more for good quality to support local (just like you pay $5 for girl guide cookies when you you could go to the store and get the same amount of oreos on sale for $2.50) BUT to ask someone to TRY a product by purchasing a giant box for almost $150 just seems like a crazy business model you are shooting yourself in the foot with. I likely would have gladly spent $100 if I was able to purchase individual items to sample....then maybe my repeat business would have been in bulk. Charging approx $44/KG for frozen ground beef you have to buy in bulk or not at all is not the way you will earn my business. Ever. If you come back to my door again please have a price list and individual purchasing options and then I might reconsider!

So I have bought the XL shrimp and Salmon. After they left I looked on the website to read more about the products but there is nothing about their sourcing or sustainability. The sales people come to your door and say a bunch of stuff about freshness, top quality, and sustainability but there's no proof! For all I know they could be selling me the same stuff I could get from Walmart but at OUTRAGEOUS prices. If you are so proud to be selling clean meat why isn't that shared anywhere in writing? Definitely feel taken advantage of. Show me the proof of your sourcing and then I might buy from you again. People are better off buying from a local farmer, you know where it's coming from and not as expensive.
