Good Reasons for Using Your Local Butcher

2. There rise of large food stores and supermarkets over the past several decades has changed how people shop. Where once they went to one shop for their baked goods, another for their fruit and vegetables and another for their meat, today people very much enjoy the convenience and time saving of getting it all in one place. To many, food shopping is a chore, so the easier and quicker it can be completed, the better. But despite the supermarket dominating the food shopping, the local butchers are still around and there are some very good reasons why you might want to use a local Perth butcher, or where you are, for all your meat and smallgoods needs.

3. Some butcher shops are retail butchers, selling products to customers that come in, some are a wholesale butcher, selling to places like restaurants, and some act as both. At an independent butchers on your local high street, you can feel more confident in the actual quality of the meat, including what goes into things like sausages. At a supermarket, you can get cheap meat that is for sure, but the quality is not always optimal. At your local butchers you can get high-quality meat, one the butcher knows a lot more about concerning where it comes from, and while in some cases the price is a little more, the better taste, texture, and quality makes up for that.

4. Today more and more people are thinking about where their food comes from. It can be for a variety of reasons, concern about the environment, about the welfare of the animals, about supporting local farmers, about their own health. A very good Perth butcher can trace their meat to its source and tell you about it. This means you are far more able to support meat production that is ethical, organic, free from antibiotics or whatever type you prefer. Most butchers are family run, independent businesses, even those that are a wholesale butcher. Whether you are a customer wanting better meat or a restaurant wanting to support other local businesses while also getting better quality meat, spending at your butchers means you are also supporting your local economy. That will benefit you and those around you. Often a butcher shop has its own close ties to the community, sourcing products from local farms, rather than across the country or even across the world.

5. Another great reason to shop at your local Perth butcher shop is the relationship that develops with them. They will learn what you buy, keep things aside for you if you ask it, prepare meat cuts how you ask for, offer you special deals and can advise you on new meats you might be interested in. After all, they want you to become a regular customer so will reward you for coming back to them to keep you happy. That kind of care and service cannot be found at any supermarket!
