# HonestMeat

> Britain and Ireland’s directory of honest butchers, farms and food. Every listing is verified against a primary source. We verify every listing against primary sources — Q Guild of Butchers, Pasture for Life, Bord Bia, Soil Association, Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland, Farm Retail Association — and the producers' own websites. Every fact on this site traces to a source URL.

HonestMeat currently lists 71 independent butchers, 34 farm shops and 26 farms across 15 regions of Britain and Ireland, plus 12 agricultural shows and events. Editorial coverage includes meat labelling, grass-fed and pasture-raised certification, heritage breeds, traditional butchery and real food.
