Thanksgiving in Canada is about gathering around the table, sharing a meal and making room for the people who matter.

This year, make the centrepiece something you can trace back to where it came from.

Whether turkey is your tradition or you’re choosing something a little different, Northern Raised gives you access to proteins sourced from farms and producers we can name.

Because the meal matters.
But so does knowing what you’re putting on the table.

This Canadian Thanksgiving, know the farm behind your food.

Happy Thanksgiving from Northern Raised.

We know you can find cheaper meat.

That’s not something we’re going to dance around.

Northern Raised is built for people who want to know where their meat came from, how it was raised and who stands behind it.

So when you buy from us, you’re paying for:

• Named Canadian family farms you can actually trace your meat back to
• Specific standards and certifications, rather than vague claims
• Meat cut fresh to order, then vacuum-sealed and packed cold
• Our own refrigerated delivery routes
• Real people you can reach, including the founders

We’re not trying to win the cheapest-meat competition.

We’re building something different: a better connection between the farm, the food and your table.

Premium meat should come with more than a premium price. It should come with proof.

Free-range sounds straightforward. But what does it actually tell you?

In Canada, free-range refers to poultry having access to the outdoors during the growing period.

What it doesn’t automatically tell you is how the birds were fed or whether they were raised to certified organic standards.

That’s why the details matter.

Northern Raised chicken comes from Ahrens Family Farm in Peterborough, Ontario, where the birds are free-range and certified organic, raised on certified organic feed and air-chilled after processing.

We don't just want you to recognise the label.

We want you to know what it means and know the farm behind it.

Why does your chicken say “air-chilled”?

Because how chicken is cooled after processing can make a difference.

Water-chilled chicken is cooled in cold water, which can allow the meat to absorb some of that water.

Air-chilled chicken is cooled using cold, circulating air instead. There’s no water bath, so there’s no added water absorbed during the chilling process.

At Northern Raised, our organic chicken from Ahrens Family Farm is air-chilled after processing, part of the straightforward, considered approach that has defined this six-generation Ontario farm for decades.

No unnecessary shortcuts. No mystery about where it came from.

Just certified organic, air-chilled chicken from a farm you can name.

You don’t need a reservation to make dinner feel like one.

Make it a Dry-Aged Steakhouse Night In with a properly cooked steak, a favourite side, and something good in the glass.

Northern Raised dry-aged steaks bring the steakhouse experience home, with the added confidence of knowing where your beef came from.

Start with a named Canadian farm. Finish with a hot pan, a good sear and a little time to enjoy it.

Your table. Your steakhouse.

Bison belongs on the prairie.

As North America’s native large ruminant, bison evolved for open grasslands and that’s exactly where they belong.

Northern Raised sources its bison from Northfork Bison, which has been raising bison since 1997 in partnership with ranches across the Manitoba prairies.

Raised entirely on grass, bison has a distinctive character of its own, a leaner texture and a rich, slightly sweet flavour that makes it worth getting to know.

And that’s the point: bison isn’t beef. It’s a different protein, raised in a different way.

From Manitoba grasslands to your table, you can trace where it came from and know the story behind it.

Not all pork comes from the same kind of pig.

Heritage pork comes from traditional breeds that have been preserved over generations, rather than the highly standardised breeds commonly used in industrial pork production.

Why does the breed matter?

Heritage breeds can differ in marbling, fat distribution, texture and flavour, which can make for a very different eating experience.

At Northern Raised, our heritage pork comes from farms we know and can name, part of the same approach we take with every protein we offer.

Because understanding your meat starts with understanding how it was raised, where it came from and what makes it different.

Meat you can trace, from farms you can name.
