There are two types of home cooks: the ones who make just enough meat for the specific meal they’re preparing, and those who like to have ‘a little extra’ at the end of the night. You know, those of us who enjoy leftovers (or simply cannot gauge how much chicken is needed to feed a family of four, oops). 

So, shopping local is important to you and you want to buy delicious, healthy food for your family—but, you’re also on a budget. We get it, and we’re here to help! VG Meats offers family-friendly purchasing options without cutting corners or sacrificing quality.

Over the years, we’ve come to understand that VG Meats customers often share a few of the same characteristics: they prefer to shop local, they appreciate knowing where their food comes from and they recognize exceptional quality when they see (or taste!) it.

Another year has passed and once again, we find ourselves reflecting on the many challenges and opportunities we experienced over the past twelve months. Overall, our team and families have been very fortunate.

Christmas is all about spending quality time with the people you love (oh, and enjoying some amazing food while gathered together). Family and a holiday feast—what more could you ask for?

Everyone has a favourite holiday side dish, including the VG team and family. You know all about mashed potatoes and candied yams, but there’s a world of festive side dishes to explore.

Ho, ho, ho...yum! If you’re hosting a get together this holiday season, you’ll want to offer some delicious homemade appetizers that satisfy every taste bud and wow your guests.

Whether you’re shopping for your clients, your employees or your friends and family members, gourmet holiday gift baskets from VG Meats are the perfect choice.

If you shop with VG Meats online, you’ve probably noticed that we like to add items to our Farm to City website as much as possible. Our online storefront is always evolving, often based on customer feedback and your requests.

If you’re taking your kids trick-or-treating on Halloween night or handing out candy in the neighbourhood, you probably won’t have time to cook up a traditional Sunday dinner. After all, who wants to be cooking or washing dishes when there are adorable little ghosts and ghouls knocking on your door for treats?

VG Meats is proud to have many longtime customers who have shopped with us for years—those familiar, smiling faces we’re happy to see walk into the store any day of the week. Sometimes, this includes multiple generations of the same family! We’re grateful for each and every one of them.

Even if you love to cook, there are nights when you simply cannot think of a thing to make. Pasta, burgers, steak? Delicious, but you’ve done it all and need a change. Plus, when you’re busy with work and family and other responsibilities, who has time to cook a meal from scratch every single night?
