Will it ribeye?! 🤔

We put Westin to the test with a blind taste of one of our pork shoulder steaks… and his reaction pretty much says it all. 😂

Beef steaks tend to get all the attention, but a really good pork steak can absolutely hold its own. 💪

Ours starts with heritage-breed pigs, pasture raised by Chelsea @ Keenan Family Farms and fed non-gmo grain (corn and soy free). Born, raised and processed all on the same property. 🙌

The result is pork with incredible flavour, beautiful marbling, and a quality that’s hard to compare to what you’ll find in a typical grocery store.

If you’ve been overlooking pork shoulder steaks, Westin would strongly suggest you reconsider. 😂

The most underrated protein in the shop right now… 🤫

Our FRESH case and freezers are full of beautiful, pasture-raised heritage breed pork from Keenan Family Farms, born and raised literally steps from our processing facility. Raised on pasture and fed a non-gmo (corn & soy free diet). 🐖

With beef supply being a little tighter, it’s a great time to put more pork on the table. It’s local, versatile, affordable, and about as close to farm-to-table as it gets.

Plot twist… we’re not actually “out” of beef. 🙌🥩

We talked recently about the temporary beef shortage we’re working through and how it’s affecting what you’ll see in our shop.

But there’s an important distinction: our FREEZERS are FULL of beef!

What’s changing for the next little while is less about having no beef and more about having less fresh beef. So we’re leaning harder into the incredible inventory we already have frozen.

And frozen does not mean lesser quality.

These are the same beautiful cuts, raised and butchered to the same standards, just frozen at their best so we can keep them that way until you’re ready for them.

Including some beautiful lean rib steaks that are currently 20% off!

So while our fresh counter might look a little different for the next few weeks, there is still A LOT of really good beef (& other meats!) to eat.

Come shop and you’ll be surprised what you find. 🥩

Do you really know where your meat comes from?

We sat down with Lydia, the co-founder of Yankee Flats Meats and the answer was so much bigger than we expected. It’s about vision, community, and changing the rules of a broken system.

This is a conversation that matters. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.👇

Beef is getting harder to source in BC, especially cattle that fit the standards we’re looking for. 🐮

For us, the answer isn’t to lower those standards. It’s to take more responsibility for our own supply.

That means raising and finishing more of our own cattle, being more involved from pasture to processing, and building something that gives us and our customers a more dependable source of quality local beef long term. 🙌

There will be some growing pains while we get there, and our beef selection may be a little tighter for the next month. But we’re excited about where this is headed.

In the meantime, it’s also a pretty good excuse to give some of the incredible pasture raised pork and chicken a little more room on the dinner table. 🍽️

Thanks for sticking with us while we grow. We think what’s on the other side of this will be worth it. 🤍
