All summer, we have been perfecting some new items to bring into our meat shop. We’ve been trying new delicious recipes and combinations behind the scenes, and now you can try them too!
The Best Taco Bar for Your Next Backyard BBQ
For your next (socially distant) backyard BBQ, why not host a taco bar? It is one of the most versatile menus you can offer and the easiest way to feed a crowd. Your friends and family members can customize their own tacos with their favourite meats, toppings and sauces. You not only make everyone happy, but it’s also super fun and easy to put together. What could be better?
Kid (and Adult) Approved Meals to Take on the Go This Summer
With this beautiful weather we have been having lately, we hope that you are getting outside as much as possible this summer. To do that safely, we recommend family picnics in the park away from the crowds! Dust off the picnic basket, grab your trusty blanket and herd the kids to the nearest green space to run off their energy and enjoy the fresh air.
Bring These Show-Stopping Lamb Kabobs to Your Dinner Table This Summer
While it feels like summer is flying by, we are determined to make the most of these weeks that we have left! You will find us barbecuing in the backyard until the snow starts to fall (and maybe a little longer after that!). What’s on the barbecue, you ask? These show-stopping lamb kabobs, of course!
How To Dress Up The Ultimate Hot Dogs This Summer
This summer, while we are all spending our vacations a little closer to home than usual, take this opportunity to experiment and rocket your grilling skills to new heights! Ketchup, mustard and relish are staples to the classic hotdog, but it’s time to step up your game and really impress your friends and family at your next (socially distanced) backyard barbecue.
Deli Meat, Your Secret Weapon When It’s Too Hot to Cook
We get it! In the heat of the summer, the very last thing you want to do is heat up your stove or oven to cook your family a meal. So, where can you turn for a delicious and protein-packed meal that requires no heat? You guessed it! Deli meat! Deli meats are lean proteins, full of vitamins and minerals, convenient and incredibly satisfying.
Pork Lovers, These Recipes Are For You!
If you are craving pork, you’ve come to the right place! While our family business has grown since our humble beginnings with a few pigs, to offer a wide variety of local proteins in our meat shop, pork will always remain our specialty. We work hard to produce the best pork for you, from the day the pigs are born, to the day the pork chops are cut, bacon is smoked, and the roast is marinated. We hope that you get as much enjoyment eating our pork as we do getting it to your table.

Let’s Talk Bacon!
Did you know that you can make bacon out of every piece of the pig? It's true! At Spragg's Meat Shop, pork is our specialty, and bacon is one of our favourite types!
