- Every butcher in our Munster directory is a member of a recognised craft body, primarily the Q Guild of Butchers or, for Ireland, the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland. Each organisation independently audits its members for quality, sourcing and skill. We cross-check every entry against the certifying body's public directory before it appears here.
What is the difference between a butcher here and one I might find through a general search?
- Every entry on HonestMeat has been verified against at least one recognised quality standard, such as the Q Guild of Butchers, Pasture for Life, the Farm Retail Association or an organic certification body.
