Sourcing Practices at FiletGourmet
At FiletGourmet, we are committed to partnering with farmers and suppliers who share our dedication to raising animals naturally, ethically, and humanely. We uphold stringent standards to ensure our customers receive the highest quality protein. Here's an overview of our sourcing practices:
100% Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef
Sourced from Canadian Farms, our beef is entirely grass-fed and grass-finished.
Cattle are pasture-raised without the use of added hormones or antibiotics.
We employ rotational grazing, allowing animals to roam freely and pastures to regenerate naturally without artificial fertilizers, chemicals, or insecticides.
This approach benefits the environment, soil health, animal welfare, and ultimately, our customers
Ethically Raised & Vegetarian-Fed Angus AAA Beef
In collaboration with Bar Five Angus, we provide Angus AAA beef that is pasture-raised without added hormones or antibiotics.
Similar to our grass-fed beef, rotational grazing is practiced to promote natural pasture regeneration and animal well-being.
Understanding the Difference: AAA Grain-Finished vs. 100% Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished
Our 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef comes from cattle that consume only pasture and hay throughout their lives, contributing to natural pasture fertilization and regeneration.
AAA grain-finished beef is also pasture-raised but receives a non-GMO grain blend in the final weeks before market to enhance marbling, resulting in the AAA grade
Ontario Pork
We partner with Canadian pork farmers who have decades of experience in sustainable pork production.
Our pork is raised without growth hormones or chemicals and is free from ractopamine.
Farmers feed their animals with crops grown on their own fields, ensuring a natural diet.
We prioritize responsible animal raising practices with minimal stress and human interference.
Air-Chilled Ontario Poultry
Our poultry is free-run and raised without antibiotics, hormones, or steroids.
We utilize air-chilling methods, suspending each bird individually in chilling chambers to prevent cross-contamination and eliminate the need for water chilling and chemical additives.
This process ensures better texture and taste in the final product
Wild-Caught Seafood
All our seafood is wild-caught and sustainably harvested.
We work with Ocean Wise certified suppliers who are committed to ocean conservation for future generations.
Our offerings include wild sockeye salmon from the Pacific coast, scallops from the Atlantic, shrimp from mangrove forests without feed or chemicals, and rainbow trout from Ontario’s cold rivers and streams.
