Simple.......... An Authentic Butcher Shop within Our Grocery Store......... Fresh Cut and Wrapped Meat
Where many stores offer great prices on pre-packaged meat, we prefer to offer fresh meat that is packaged in our own butcher shop. This sometimes costs more, but you can see it is truly fresh. The selection changes daily and new products are introduced regularly.
Butcher Shop Special Features
- Although we purchase through Loblaws, we are very pleased to purchase from local farmers and agricultural businesses as much as possible. Some of our local suppliers are: West Grey Premium Beef near Durham has quality beef; Farm Fresh Poultry at Harriston has become the primary source for fresh chicken; Lennox Lamb from near Ayton; Bauman's Sausage from Dobbinton for smoked meats and sausages
- Charlie Wight is our awesome butcher with a lifetime of experience in retail butchering experience, very friendly and eager to keep the counter full with a nice variety of meats he has cut and prepared himself. Michelle De Bliek is the most awesome wrapper and vac packer and an excellent support to Charlie. This friendly team will go out of their way to help you find what you want.
- We were very pleased to provide the meat prizes for several curling bonspiels this year, Tara Men's and Ladies and Paisley Senior Men's. We had reports of many happy curlers at the end of their day.

Bruce and Grey County Beef
Whenever possible local Grey and Bruce County beef is sourced and used. We are pleased to carry Ontario Corn Fed beef at the store, when we can get it.
We carry West Grey Premium burgers in cases ready for your next party.
Pork on Your Fork - Ontario Pork
Its great to get creative with pork and the various cuts. Sweet pickled hams are very popular as are spiced pork roasts. A very simple meal is breaded pork cutlets with mechanically tenderized cutlets with a breading on it. It becomes a very simple meal by fast frying both sides and its ready in only a few minutes.
We belong to the Ontario Pork organization representing 1,549 pig farmers in Ontario. The pork we purchase is all from Ontario and as such is labeled with an 'Ontario Pork' sticker.
Smoked pork is very popular and we purchase whole smoked loins from a local smoke house. Smoked products now include hams, chops, bacon, sausage in plain or garlic. We also have hams sweet pickled.
Bacon is wildly popular, especially on weekends and we are pleased to carry Maple Leaf bacon, President's Choice and No Name bacon as well as our own thick sliced bacon and bacon rounds.
Ontario Chicken
We purchase most of our chicken from Farm Fresh Poultry, a chicken cooperative in Harriston, who purchase chickens from their 40 local member chicken producers. The chickens come either whole or in parts and they are trayed or vacuum packed in our own butcher shop.
Fish on Fridays!
Fresh fish is now available everyday, through Loblaws and is an excellent fresh product. We carry a slightly different variety each week, such as cod, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, haddock, and tilapia fillets.
Local Grey County Lamb
We purchase whole lambs from Lennox Lamb at various times of the year. Charlie then portions into various cuts such as: chops, roasts, stew meat, ribs. If you wish to buy fresh or frozen local lamb, talk to the butcher so we know you are interested.
