THE ETHICAL BUTCHER: WHAT IS IT?

The team behind The Ethical Butcher are unashamed meat lovers on a mission to give meat something of a craft revolution.

Founders Farshad Kazemian and Glen Burrows make a good team; Farshad is a veteran of the meat trade and Glen – a former vegetarian of 25 years – is uncompromising in his pursuit of genuinely good meat.

They’re keen for their customers to taste the subtle difference in the quality of meat farmed in this way. Everything you find in their organic meat delivery boxes has a rich and lingering flavour, and feels deeply satisfying to eat.

THE ETHICAL BUTCHER: HOW SUSTAINABLE IS IT?

One of the newest meat box schemes to hit the market, The Ethical Butcher is putting its ethics where its name is. Their beef and lamb is 100% grass-fed and Pasture For Life-certified as a minimum.

Their chicken is from Fosse Meadows Farm. The USP of Fosse Meadows is that the chickens are grown to 81 days. Why is this significant? Well, an average supermarket chicken is grown to around 35 days, so a Fosse chicken lives more than twice as long. This allows them to grow at a natural rate, antibiotic free. They are also free range and foraging in meadows that aren’t sprayed with fertilisers or pesticides.

The Ethical Butcher favours farmers who are using one or more forms of regenerative agriculture and some have taken measurements to prove they are running carbon-neutral – or even negative – operations.

THE ETHICAL BUTCHER: HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Ethical Butcher deliver across UK, within two working days of ordering.

There’s no minimum order value, but they have a £10 delivery charge for all orders below £85. All orders about £85 come with free delivery (but keep your eyes peeled for special offers).

Meat arrives chilled, ready to cook or freeze. Their main offering at the moment is chicken, beef and lamb – but stay alert, they are extending their offering to include pork and game soon…
