How to Choose the Right Cut at Your Local Butcher

How to Choose the Right Cut at Your Local Butcher

Do you ever feel intimidated to walk into a butcher shop? If this is your first time, it can be very overwhelming. Between the numerous choices in cuts, your questions about quality, the array of flavours and textures, and the uncertainty of the quantity you need, it can be enough to have you turn tail. But don’t worry! We’ve all been there, and we are here to help.

Spragg’s Meat Shop Spotlight Q&A: Ruth Spragg

Spragg’s Meat Shop Spotlight Q&A: Ruth Spragg

We believe that the more Alberta farmers connect with customers, the better. Knowing your farmer leads to knowing your food, and ultimately a deeper connection and appreciation between us all. Each family farm and ranch across Alberta has a unique story, and we hope that you enjoy getting to know who we are, what we do, and how we do it at Spragg’s Meat Shop through our Spotlight Q&A series. Last month, we interviewed co-owner of Spragg’s Meat Shop, Bonnie Spragg.

This month, we’re excited to introduce you to Bonnie and Greg’s daughter, Ruth Spragg, who’s spent her entire life growing up on the farm, appreciating the land, connecting with nature and working alongside her family.

Spragg’s Meat Shop has been an Alberta-based family business since 2005. Led by husband and wife team, Greg and Bonnie Spragg, we are proud farmers, business owners, parents, and so much more.

Over the next few weeks, we’re excited to be rolling out our Q&A blog series. With each installment, you’ll learn more about who we are, what we do, and how we do it!
