ABOUT US

Originally founded in 2007, Two Rivers quickly became the premier meat supplier to restaurants all across B.C. Then, in 2017, an expansion saw the launch of “The Shop” a retail space designed to connect everyday meat lovers and home cooks with the same ethical and sustainable products that were being enjoyed by top chefs for years.
In the beginning, we were just a handful of people working out of a very tiny space. There are a lot more of us today, and while our offices and warehouse are bigger, our purpose remains the same — share our love of outstanding, local food with passionate people.
