Charcuterie boards are the perfect appetisers for any parties you are going to this holiday season. The word charcuterie refers to cold cooked meats, so originally that's what this platter consisted of. Now, you can find many different arrangements including pickles, cheese, crackers and more! There are so many ways you can make your charcuterie board for this year's run of Christmas parties so here’s a few tips to get you started.
At Spragg’s Meat Shop, we pride ourselves on having the best local meats that Alberta has to offer available in our meat shops, and we also process all of our products on-site, right here in Rosemary, Alberta!
We wanted to give you a peek inside our processing facility in Rosemary and show you around!
During the summer, it’s too hot to cook anything indoors, so like many of you, we cook everything on the grill outside all summer long! And in our household, we are big fans of smoking meat, whether in a smoker, in a Traeger or even smoked on the barbecue
At Spragg's Meat Shop, we love a good smoked meat! There is something special about cooking 'low and slow,' and it's not just the flavour (although that is pretty great too), it's also the experience and the effort that goes into the process. Smoking meat is an adventure that isn't comparable to any other cooking method.
With that in mind, we wanted to get into some of the essentials of smoking your own meat at home for some epic BBQ dinners!
There is nothing that compliments a hot summer night like some fresh seafood. If you’re craving a taste of the sea, our seafood curb-side pick-up box brings the best quality and value you’ll find on the prairies!

At Spragg’s Meat Shop, not only do we raise our own pork ethically and sustainably, but we also process our products on-site. And in addition to our own meats, did you know that we can process other local meat as well? You can drop off your frozen trim at either of our locations; we will process your order in Rosemary and contact you when we have everything done. From September to December, we also accept legally hunted wild game and offer everything from skinning to cut and wrap to sausage and jerky.
Summer is almost here, and we have some delicious tastes from the sea on offer at Spragg’s Meat Shop!
While you might know us best for our pork, at Spragg's, we are also huge fans of a beautiful seafood dish. In our meat shop, we carry a variety of mostly Canadian, wild-caught or sustainably farmed fish, including haddock, sockeye salmon, Pacific halibut, cod, scallops, and more. Our seafood curb-side pick-up boxes are packed full of ocean delights, offering exceptional value and convenience.
As a small-scale family farm right here in Alberta, we have built Spragg's Meat Shop to be a sustainable and fully local food production chain. Farming has historically been a way of life in rural areas, and we believe that continuing to honour the tradition of the family farm benefits communities, consumers, and society.
If you’re looking for fabulous value, fantastic taste and versatile meal options for a hungry family – then we have just the box for you! Our popular curb-side pick-up boxes make it easy for you to fill your freezer and make meal planning a breeze. From farm to table, we are passionate about feeding Alberta families like our own with the best local meats Alberta has to offer. Here is a delicious list of recipes to cook up with the variety of items available in our curb-side pick-up chicken sausage box.
Sustainable, small scale farming practices form a key part of the vision of our local family farm. These practices help to protect the environment and our natural resources. We believe that staying small and selling only to a local consumer base provides a better balance for the ecosystem. As a local meat processor, Spragg's Meat Shop is building a sustainable, dependable local food production chain. Small scale food processing is equally as important to getting high-quality products to the consumer as the farmer is.
At Spragg’s Meat Shop, we specialize in the highest quality pasture-raised meats that Alberta has to offer. If you haven’t tried our popular curb-side pick-up boxes yet, what are you waiting for! They are a great option if you are looking to skip the lineups at the grocery store and stock your freezer full of some delicious cuts of meat for your family. Each of our boxes comes with various cuts of meat from pork, chicken, beef, seafood and more, and you can meal prep countless meals for your family.
Spragg’s Meat Shop is happy to offer our customers custom cuts of pork for special orders, but with so many different terms floating around out there and different terms used in different parts of the world, it can quickly get confusing. It’s a whole lot easier to shop for the right cut when you know what to look for, we wanted to take some time to help our customers get a little bit more familiar with the cuts available.
Do you feel like chicken tonight? Versatile, healthy and oh-so-delicious, it’s no wonder chicken is such a popular option! Our curb-side pick-up boxes offer great value for this beloved dinner staple, providing your family with locally sourced, ethically farmed, fresh meat. With so many ways to incorporate chicken into your meals, here are some recipe ideas so you can grill, bake and sauté your way to flavour town!
At Spragg's, we believe the burger to be in the top tier of summer eats! Tasty, satisfying and oh-so customizable, the delicious possibilities are endless! We are proud to provide Albertans with a unique range of fresh, locally produced burger options. From a Wagyu beef burger to a bison burger and everything in between, we have it all at Spragg’s Meat Shop.
With grilling season just around the corner, let’s be honest - who isn’t dreaming about steak? A fresh, locally produced steak is one of life’s most delightful treats. If you’re looking for great value as you kick off the start of BBQ season (not to mention convenience!), we highly recommend our beef curb-side pick-up boxes. Depending on the size of your family (and your stomach), we have a few different options for you to choose from.
Happy Easter! Along with the hunt for colourful eggs and some beautiful spring tulips, the most important accessory for a perfect Easter celebration? A beautiful, glazed ham!
With only three simple ingredients, this balsamic Dijon glaze just might become your new favourite Easter Dinner! The key to this recipe is using high-quality ingredients. We recommend an 18-year aged balsamic, a good Dijon (try the Brassica brand sold at our Calgary meat shop, or pick up something local at the Calgary Farmer’s Market) and fresh brown sugar (none of that stale, left-in-your-pantry-for-months brown sugar).
Easter is one of our absolute favourite holidays. Spring is in the air, the Easter bunny is out and about, and we get to enjoy one of our most special treats – a beautiful Easter ham! At Spragg’s, we are proud to supply Albertans with free-range, farm-to-table pork products that are perfect for your Easter celebrations. Our hams will be available for purchase in the weeks leading up to Easter, while supplies last – we recommend pre-ordering to avoid disappointment!
