NATURAL + ORGANIC

Meat + Seafood

What do you love to grill or roast or pan sear or braise?

Sausages for a Canada Day barbecue? Miso-glazed salmon at a fall dinner party? Brining a turkey to feed the whole family for the winter holidays? Whatever menu you are planning, we know our omnivore members want sustainable, humanely treated animals, raised as close to home as possible. So that’s what we do.

Try our Kootenay Co-op Smokehouse treats and delicious cuts made in-house!

We do more than just put out packages – we butcher whole animals and make our own sausages, specialty cuts, marinades and fresh ground food for your pup.  We even have our own smoker! Jerky, bacon, brisket, hot dogs, and salmon nuggets are just a few of our Kootenay Co-op Smokehouse treats. Every day you’ll find a different selection of fresh cuts in our display cases and a freezer full of family favourites. Next time you’re at the counter, ask one of our friendly staff about what’s new and exciting or how to cook that unusual cut.

You know that image you have in your mind of cows grazing on endless green pasture with snow-capped peaks in the background?

That’s what it actually looks like at J2 Ranch, one of our True Local ranchers who raise Wagyu beef and bison in eastern British Columbia on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains. Most of our fresh beef, bison, lamb, pork and poultry come from somewhere nearby in BC.

Then there’s bacon.

Then there’s bacon. Mmmm bacon. But not all bacon is made the same. There’s bacon, then there’s bacon from Cutter Ranch. They are experts at raising pigs. They combine cutting edge technology with unwavering ethics so that we may enjoy a lingering brunch with friends on a weekend morning, enveloped in the salty aroma of bacon wafting through the house.

For omnivores, our meat + seafood department is a dream come true! We know how important it is to you to know where your animals are from, that they were raised on a quality diet of healthy feed without added growth hormones or antibiotics, or caught in a way that does not compromise our ocean and river ecosystems. We source it, expertly cut and wrap it, and even use a detailed labeling system because there is no single standard for how animals are raised or caught.  The next time you visit our butcher counter check our out our colorful labeling guide. We take the time to provide you with the information you need to make empowered choices for your body and family.
