What Carnivore Club Inc. does

Carnivore Club Inc. is a Toronto, Canada-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce company that sells premium cured meats, charcuterie, and specialty food products primarily through a recurring subscription model. Founded in 2012, the company operates dedicated Shopify storefronts at carnivoreclub.ca for Canadian customers and carnivoreclub.com for US customers, and ships directly to consumer addresses across Canada and the United States. Its product lineup centers on three subscription tiers — the Classic Box (CA$69.99/month), Snack Box (CA$55.99/month), and Complete Box — alongside an expanding à la carte catalog that includes Spanish Mini Cured Jamon Carving Sets (CA$109.99), Charcuterie Board Sets, jamon refills, kitchen knives, and Great Canadian Meat beef jerky.

The business combines recurring subscription revenue with one-time purchases and gift transactions, all transacted through its owned online storefronts. Customer acquisition is driven through a multi-channel marketing mix that includes email, social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), the company blog "The Daily Meat," and an affiliate program. The company is privately held, founder-led by Tim Ray, and operates with a small team of 1-10 employees. The competitive positioning is built around artisan curation, Canadian sourcing identity, and gift-ready presentation for premium food enthusiasts and gifting occasions.
