Hi Everyone,
Over the past couple months, we have been up to exciting things and want to tell you all about them!
As many of you know, we opened our doors in the Victoria Public Market on February 25, 2017. We are the first Vegan Butcher Shop in Western Canada and the response since opening has been overwhelming!
We’ve had a ton of demand for our product from all across North America (and especially Vancouver). Since our open, we’ve been struggling to produce enough tasty plant based meat and have been looking for a way to scale up.
To do this, we’ve decided to launch a Kickstarter to help fund our dreams and bring everyone more of our plant based meats.
Here's what we're hoping to accomplish with our Kickstarter:
1) Increase Production - We need new equipment to help increase production as well as hire and train a few new bean butchers.
2) Develop New Products - This means, a lot of time spent tinkering, refining, and acquiring new special ingredients and equipment.
3) Food Truck/Cart - We want to take this show on the road! Having a dedicated food truck/cart would allow us to attend festivals, markets, and events all across B.C. and maybe beyond!
4) Expanded Distribution - We would love to stock our products in small local businesses close to you. In order to do this we need your help to bring our cost of production down and buy our ingredients in larger quantities.
5) Very Good Vancouver Shop - Our next big dream is to open a Vegan Butcher Shop in Vancouver. We've had a huge amount of interest and demand and want to open up shop there in the not too distant future, Vancouver we’re coming for you!
Our objective at The Very Good Butchers has always been to produce organic, wholesome, real food without tricks or gimmicks. We want to make healthy planet friendly meat alternatives that are accessible to omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and everyone in between. We need your help to help to take things to the next level.
Our mission is to deliver a ton of value with this Kickstarter - and to incorporate a selection of Very Good Kickstarter rewards to thank you for helping us!

With all our beans and love,
The Very Good Butchers
Myself, a relative & friend have eaten at your outlets and we certainly didn’t have the excessive salt experience expressed by one of your patrons ..
IMO keep doing what your doing and you can’t go wrong .. you’re filling a niche and got nowhere to go but up ..
Best wishes in your venture
Hello I am very interested in your company and it’s products could you email some information on how I can order for my and my family since I am trying to embrace a vegetarian lifestyle. Thanks
Wishing you all the best success and we look forward to visiting you guys to see what all the fuss is about :)
Down the road would love to see a cookbook published as we live out in Dubai and have no access to these lovely products we are hearing about.
