Below is a conversation between a
butcher and one of his customers.
Butcher: Hello Mr. Hamad
Mr. Hamad: Good afternoon IB. Please
can I get four kilograms of organic chevon?
Butcher: "Organic chevon"? I
sell zabiha meat here. In other words, my meat is halal.
Mr. Hamad: So, you think halal is only
about the slaughter process (zabiha). I have explored the field and learnt that
100% halal should be organic, GMO free, quarantined when exposed to
antibiotics, avoid exposing animals to stress and no growth hormones.
Butcher: Your description of halal will
make meat expensive.
Mr. Hamad: The interesting thing about
cheap is that it may become expensive in the long run.
Butcher: So, what are you suggesting?
Mr. Hamad: There is a nexus between
organic and halal. Though scholars and food experts ignore it.
Butcher: You have changed since you
visited ECVOntario at the University of Guelph!
Mr. Hamad: This is the beginning ... I
have stopped using atrazine and glyphosate on my farm.
Butcher: All the best with your new
journey...

A good place to start is with your neighbors and community groups. Use online platforms such as Facebook or Google Reviews to check out the referrals. Ask specifically for local butcher shops that sell the types of meat products you’re looking for. This way, you can get the most accurate referral!
