Local? Check. Hormone / Antibiotic free? Check.
Freshness? Well, mostly frozen and/or cryopak, so...
Flavor? Yeah - that's my issue with this place. After several excruciatingly expensive purchases I feel that the flavor does not justify the means.
This tiny shop could well be the meat and dairy section carved straight out of an urban Whole Foods type place. It seems to be designed solely to tick all of the boxes of those concerned about from whence their food emanates, rather than what it actually tastes like.
You want FRESH local crud-free chicken? Gasparros is two subway stops west. Local red and other white meat of the FRESH and FLAVORFUL variety can always be had at Sanagans Meat Locker in Kensington market. In fact, I cannot come up with one thing here that comes close to my vote as best in the city so....
Sorry Rowe Farms - Nice landing, wrong airport.
