Welcome to Moore Premium Meats!
A family run business bringing unique and quality meats from Canada's small farms to your door.
Ostrich meat is our specialty, although we now offer many different kinds of unique meats.
Hi, we're The Moore Family and we are dedicated to sourcing the best quality meat for our customer.
Our journey started five years ago when we rented our first plot of farmland. Our goal was to get our kids out into the country and have some space to start a mini farm. Little did we realize at the time that this little opportunity would change our lives so significantly.
We decided our mini farm would be named Toad and Snail, which were our childhood nicknames.
As we were learning about producing our own food, we came across a realization. Great food makes us feel better! It's kind of silly isn't it... That's something that everyone knows is true, but really until you are doing it...it never really sinks in.
We also discovered that we didn't have a particularly green thumb... So we focused on growing vegetables just for our family and decided to expand into livestock.
But which livestock? That was the big question. We experimented with chickens and then we came across a very cool opportunity. Ostriches! Our lives would never be the same...
It's such a unique protein that looks and tastes like red meat, but is very easy to digest.
Everyone in our family loves it!
We decided that we needed to raise these animals to share this extraordinary meat with others. As Toad and Snail we started our journey, which worked well for about three months until we were asked if we sold frog legs...
That's when Moore Premium Meats was born!
What makes Ostrich meat different?

With less than 2% fat, this meat naturally qualifies as an extra lean meat.
Low Cholesterol
Ostrich meat has less cholesterol than beef and chicken.
High in Iron
Includes more Iron than beef.
Lower in total Calories
Lower calories in total for each serving of meat means you can enjoy more of your favourite cuts without the worry of extra calories.
High in Omega 3's
Comparable to olive oil in the number of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.
Red meat that tastes like beef!
It's a great substitute for beef as ground meat or steaks. If cooked to medium rare it tastes just like a lean beef steak.

"As we were building this farm, I started to realize more and more that I seemed to be pulled towards farming. It happened as we added livestock to our farm. Apparently, this was what I was meant to do..."

What is the Unique Meats Buyers List?
This is our version of a buyers club, specifically designed to support small, Ontario and Canadian farmers. We source out a different kind of meat (or a heritage breed) each month and bring the opportunity directly to our list of members.
The members then purchase the meat from the farm and we have it shipped directly to their door.
Want to try your luck at the wheel?
Every month on the 15th we do a draw for a pepperette package. This package includes a guaranteed 4 different kinds of pepperettes or sliced salami package (assorted).
Are you feeling lucky?

"Never had ostrich meat before but decided to give it a try. Very tasty and lean. The ground meat is great for tacos and the steaks were delicious. The eggs ate huge and a good value. Plus Barrett and Caley the owners are great people."
"I found the ostrich meat to be very lean and rich in flavour. It is amazingly tender. A wonderful alternative to beef. Will definitely have it again!"
