MEET YOUR LOCAL BUTCHER
Butchery is a dying craft, but at Whole Foods Market we run things the old-fashioned way, with a certified master butcher behind each and every meat counter. Our master butchers must complete intensive 1,920-hour apprenticeship training, so that they can expertly prepare your cut of meat any way you choose. We guarantee the highest level of quality and freshness available, and a wide selection of preparations to suit your every need. So, go ahead — ask your master butcher! Learn more here
ALL OUR MEAT IS FROM UK FARMS &INDEPENDENTLY AUDITED
Our 5-Step Animal Welfare Rating Programme is an auditing system unique to Whole Foods Market. It enables customers to understand precisely how the meats they are buying have been raised and treated. Visit the butcher’s counter for more details and look out for the step ratings, below, on our signs in-store. Learn more here.MEET YOUR FARMER
DAVID JASPER, Jaspers Farm, Cornwall supplier of our Beef and Lamb
Born and bred in Cornwall, David’s been in farming since he was a boy. When still at primary school he attended his first bidding market with his brother and caused chaos as they tried to buy livestock. His brother is still involved in the farm, as is their father and David’s daughter. They take a family pride in their animals and believe that breeding and good feeding is the secret of animal husbandry and quality meat. Learn more here.
