The Beginning
It all started with Henry Neufeldt, Gordon McLauchlin, Frank Harder, and Rick Neufeldt. If you had stepped into the first shop at 45735 Alexander Avenue, you would’ve been greeted by sawdust, a simple counter, and a meat locker. Humble but to the point and solid in family values.

A Milestone
The year that was a true milestone for us.

Not only did we rebuild our flagship store on Vedder Road, but our work family had grown to 30 members. Each one of us is driven and a true asset to our team.

Now, over 50 years since our first store in 1969, we have grown from being a tiny butcher shop to being a meat store that proudly offers quality cuts of beef, chicken, and pork plus a myriad of specialty products (tons that we make in-house).

On top of all that, we love working with customers who require a custom cut of meat or special order that isn’t generally seen.

It’s a good feeling, being a pillar in our community thanks to our loyal customers!

6 Key Things

That Set Fraser Valley Meats Apart

1

We Stand Behind Our Meat – we have a promised standard on our meat quality.

If one of our products doesn’t meet that standard, you’re welcome to return or exchange what you purchased within 10 days (as long as you have your receipt and bring in the offending product, of course!)

2

Choose Your Volume & Packaging – there’s no minimum or maximum amount of meat you have to buy.

You choose what you want. Plus, we can do custom packaging and cuts.

3

There’s A Butcher On-Site – want to meet the person who slices everything up?

Have questions about meat only a butcher could answer? Our butchers work in-store and are always available for a chat!

4

You Can Shop Online – don’t feel like visiting our store?

While you’re missing out (c’mon, our store is pretty awesome, if we must say so ourselves), we understand that it’s much more convenient to order online.

Learn more about our Online Ordering Process on our FAQ page.

5

Involved with local sports teams, non-profit organizations, and local charities – community is absolutely integral. We know this as well as you.

This knowledge has helped us create a fundraising program we’re very proud to offer our local community.

6

We’re No Corporate Giant – because we’re a small company with a small (but constantly growing) team, we boast small-batch excellence, supply dependability, community strength, and traceability (it’s simple to find out where our food comes from).
