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?

Thanksgiving is almost here and the VG team is busier than ever — but no matter how busy life gets, we always make an effort to slow down and focus on gratitude over the holiday weekend.

In just over two weeks, you’ll be sitting down to another fantastic Thanksgiving dinner. No matter who you’re celebrating with or what you’re cooking, we hope you have a restful, enjoyable weekend with people you love (plus, some incredible local food).

Here’s how to place an order with VG Meats for Thanksgiving, which takes place on Monday, October 11th, 2021 (sooner, if you cook dinner on Thanksgiving Sunday!). If you have any questions, please email danny@vgmeats.ca, visit us in store or give us a call. We’d be pleased to help.

We’re still feeling that summer heat during the day here in southern Ontario, but the nights are getting cooler and there’s been plenty of rain these last few weeks. If you’re getting that cozy, stay-indoors-and-chill vibe, you’re not alone — the summer-to-fall transition is definitely upon us!

The last long weekend of summer is upon us, and we’re ready to have a good time. While some people are heading up to the cottage, going camping or taking part in other long weekend traditions, others are thinking about how to spend the next few days.

Labour Day weekend often feels like the end of summer, even if we still have weeks of sunshine and beautiful weather ahead. It’s symbolic in a lot of ways, especially if you’ve got kids heading back to school (or are a teacher heading back to work). Labour Day might be when you close up the cottage, pack away your tents after all that summer camping, or tidy up the gardens before fall weather hits. Or maybe it’s when you have an annual BBQ with friends and family and let the good times roll!
