Taryn Barker (She/Her), Head Butcher and Owner of The Little Butcher

Help Taryn fundraise for Butchery Team Canada!

Taryn Barker has held numerous positions in the meat and food industries for over 20 years. She started out her career at the age of fifteen as a customer server in a small family run butcher shop, and just celebrated the 13^th anniversary as owner and head butcher of The Little Butcher in Port Moody BC. The Little Butcher practices whole animal butchery and works strictly with B.C. meat producers.

Taryn is constantly pushing herself to try new things and has had the opportunity to travel abroad and compete in butchery competitions in New Zealand and Brazil. Through online tryouts in 2018, she became a member of the first Canadian butcher team, Butchery Team Canada. The national team competed for the first time in The World Butchers Challenge in September 2022 and then again in Paris, France this past March. Taryn will be the Captain of the 2028 team.
