The beginning of a new year is upon us, and we’re approaching it with gratitude, optimism and excitement about what’s ahead. We hope everyone has had a restful, joyful holiday season so far—with any luck, you’ve got a few more days to enjoy before jumping back into school, work and the usual busyness of life. Thanks again to everyone who made VG Meats a part of their holiday tradition by purchasing a fresh local turkey, delicious ham or tender Ontario beef roast. Many of our customers are incredible home chefs, and it’s greatly satisfying to see our products transformed into delectable holiday meals.

With Christmas just one week away, we wanted to take the opportunity to share some well wishes from the VG Meats team. It’s impossible to reach this stage of the year without some reflection, and we’re feeling both grateful for the past twelve months and excited about what’s ahead. In this blog post, we’ve also included some important reminders to help your holidays (and your holiday meals) go as smoothly as possible.

As we gather with our loved ones this festive season, it’s tradition to share a delicious holiday meal. A beautifully-prepared turkey, ham or roast beef is often the star of the show, but side dishes are just as important to your family feast. If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve got you covered—and remember, we’re taking orders for fresh local turkeys, Ontario beef and pork roasts, ham, gift baskets and more on our holiday website. Please contact us if you have any questions or need assistance—we’d be glad to hear from you!
