Next up for our Friday sandwich, we have Farm Raised CHICKEN!!!!

Drumsticks and breasts marinated in a Greek style marinade, then slowly roasted. Drumsticks pulled apart and breast chopped for optimal texture. The braise juice was drained of fat and then reworked into the chicken.
And for toppings we have kale (from Mat's garden) tossed in a house made Greek style dressing,and topped with cucumbers and tomatoes (also from Mat's garden) red onion, feta, and black olives and top top it off a bit of house made tzatziki sauce!!! We haven't decided yet how we are going to do the toppings, but we will keep the feta and black olives separate for people who don't want those options.

There are a few first-time recipes, chicken sandwich (which we never do), and garden fresh ingredients...
This one's a special one 💚

Unfortunately, we are too short staffed this weekend, and we won't be able to make it to the this Saturday.

We are still going to be opened at the shop, at Alderney, and at the Brewery.

It's no secret that we've been struggling with staffing, we've lost some key players this year and are looking for one or two food service or hospitality professionals to join our team.

We have a kitchen position posted on our website and also need a Saturday market helper in Halifax. Both positions offer opportunities to learn and grow within the company.

Check out the website or email your resume to [email protected]

PS there will be hot dogs this weekend

Hooray for Justin, who won the BBQ from blackearthgrills and Timber & Gas Grill Supply. Justin was an avid competitor of steak bingo the last couple of years, and we are really happy he won!

Congratulations also to Andrew won second (for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW!! 🙉) and Rosie won third!

Thanks to everyone who played and to all our amazing customers! 🤗

Unfortunately, we are dealing with a last-minute staffing shortage, so the Primrose shop will be closed tomorrow morning. Primrose will open at 1 pm.

We are going to all three markets tomorrow morning but will be leaving the Seaport and the Brewery at 1145 am.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience and our confusing schedule. We have alot of product ready to sell at the market but we also have production obligations at the shop.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued patronage.

Alright folks, this week's Friday sandwich is ready for posting, dont let the picture fool you 🤤

We have have our house smoked Sweet Chipotle Ribs some chunked up and some left in strips for optimal texture,a couple slices of dill pickles, green onions, a pickled jalapeño slice to add a small pop of heat and a house made coleslaw thats a little bit different than previous ones. A little bit more smokey, which pairs pretty well with the BBQ sauce.
For the BBQ sauce, Mat found recipe called all American BBQ sauce and tried that out.... then added some spices and some maple syrup 🇨🇦 because we can all use a little more maple these days 🍁

$10 + hst

Sandwiches are available, Friday's only, from 11 am til 2 pm or sell out whatever comes first.

(People start calling to reserve around 10).

Pre ordering is recommended by phoning 902.463.6981.

See you for lunch!

Harvest time means specialty sausages.
We only make Hodge Podge Sausage once a year, and even though people aren't sure of this I can promise you this sausage is DELICIOUS.

Pork mixed with new potatoes, carrots, beans and peas, cream, and dill. YES PLEASE. This will elevate your bangers and mash to a new level and would also be frigging delicious in a pot pie.

This year's version is extra special because the dill, beans, and peas are from Mat's garden.

We'll be posting the full line up in the stories tomorrow but we just needed to show you what is going on here today!

PS - if you aren't from Atlantic Canada, Hodge Podge is one of our signature dishes.

We are hiring for our kitchen!

Butcher shop kitchens are where the magic happens. In this role, you will learn about our deli program and support the butchery by making recipes like spice blends, marinades, and sauces. You will render fats and make stocks. You will also learn to run the smoker as well as HACCP food safety protocol.

There is some assembly and packaging involved, but once you get to know our products, we are open to new ideas, flavours, and product line development. Once you understand meat, the possibilities are endless.

There is no line work, and if you are a motivated self-starter, you will be working with minimal supervision.

This position is available as a 40-hour Tues to Fri shift, or an extra shift is available on Saturday on the butcher side if you want to do customer service and learn about meat.

The details are posted on our website

For this week's Friday sandwich, we have something special (not that the other ones aren't awesome)
Two items from our own garden!!!

🥁🥁🥁

Our house smoked deli ham, accompanied with a house made spicy maple mustard (not too spicy) topped with whiskey carmalized onion jam that's been jacked up with a bunch more bacon bits, mozzarella cheese, shredded kale from Mat and Brianna's garden, pickled red onions, and Barbs tomatoes (grown in Mat and Brianna's garden) .
We are super pumped to have enough growing that we can spread some around :)
