Whether you’re Irish or not, there’s something wonderful about gathering with loved ones to enjoy delicious, high quality, shareable food—especially if it’s made with Ontario beef and other local products. Here are some delicious meal ideas for St. Patrick’s Day (green beer optional).

We’ve always been thankful to customers who choose to shop from local, independent businesses like Olliffe—your support means everything to us, and it allows us to contribute to stronger local food systems here in Ontario. As the issue of buying Canadian has taken on new meaning in recent weeks, we wanted to share an overview of our products and highlight just how many of them come from your own backyard. We’ll get into details below, but in short: over 90% of our products are Canadian, and more than 95% of our meat is local.

Here are some delicious spring BBQ essentials from Olliffe. All of these products are raised on Ontario farms using holistic management to achieve regenerative outcomes in communities like yours. This contributes to healthier local ecosystems, economies and families—that’s something to feel good about while you’re putting dinner on the table!
