Build a Bigger Bean Butchery

Created by The Very Good Butchers

Our objective at The Very Good Butchers is 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 and vegans. We simply want to provide wholesome food for everyone to enjoy. We ran a successful Kickstarter to help fund expansion. We are using Backer Kit to help us fulfill and manage all the Kickstarter orders.

Free Burger Friday Recap plus 15 hours left :O
over 8 years ago – Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 12:11:05 AM

Hi Everyone,
There's just under 15 hours to go in the Kickstarter.
That sure went by quickly :O

We've been hard at work preparing our new production space/storefront.
We'll be using it to make a bunch of the new deli meats while our space on Denman Island focuses on making more burgers and bangers. We're hoping to open the space on the 23rd of this month.

A huge thank you to everyone who made it out to Free Burger Friday to sample some of our new menu items and celebrate the success of the Kickstarter campaign. During the mayhem we managed to shoot a quick video.

 Our friend Brodie Frehlich was also on hand with his camera and he got some great shots. You can check them out in the Facebook Album here.

We'll touch base tomorrow afternoon once the Kickstarter wraps up!

Bye For Now :)

Hi Everyone,
A huge thanks to everyone who has supported our campaign so far!We're getting pretty close to our goal but still have a ways to go.

Today we'd like to share a few videos with you!

First up, James and Tania giving you a quick overview of some of the equipment that the Kickstarter money will go towards purchasing. This will help us scale up production and get more Very Good product your way!

 If you'd like to take a closer look at some of our products Justine at The West Coast Vegan recently created an awesome video. Check it out below!

And last but not least, our friends at Kalyan Studios (a local vegan production house) put together a great sizzler reel for our Kickstarter campaign. They also helped us finish the main Kickstarter video.

 That's all for today! Thanks again!
