Tomorrow is Friday, October 31st—a date that’s typically known as Halloween. This year, however, October 31st is GAME SIX OF THE WORLD SERIES, and it’s happening in Toronto with the Blue Jays ahead by one. What a time to be alive!
Blue Cheese Crusted Baseball Sirloin, Blue Cheese Dip For Your Olliffe Wings, and The Best Darn Ballpark Dog in the Universe (according to the team at Olliffe)
The Toronto Blue Jays are in the World Series for the first time in 32 years, and we could not be more excited to see them win it all. In celebration of this historic season and how much we love this incredible team, we’re introducing The Olliffe World Series Giveaway. If you love baseball and local food as much as we do, this is something you don’t want to miss.
An exceptional dish that will impress any dinner guest
Thanksgiving weekend is upon us, and the Olliffe team is ready to enjoy plenty of delicious food and good company in the days ahead. Let’s hope this glorious weather continues! The mix of sunshine, (slightly) cooler temperatures and gorgeous fall colours has been absolutely spectacular, and will be a real treat for anyone who’s cooking outside this weekend.
Thanks to Chef James for this incredible recipe! This dish can also be made as a full-sized sandwich, if you prefer. Please note that all of these ingredients (except for the fresh arugula) can be found online or in store at Olliffe. Thanks for shopping local and supporting regenerative food in your community!

With Thanksgiving just over two weeks away, many of our customers are busy planning a family meal: ordering a fresh local turkey, prime rib and other holiday favourites, deciding which side dishes they’ll be serving alongside that delectable Ontario roast, and otherwise preparing the house to host family and friends. It’s a lot of work, but it’s all worth it in the end!
This year, Thanksgiving falls on Sunday, October 12th—just over three weeks from today. If you’re ready to place your order for fresh local turkeys, delectable beef and pork roasts, Ontario lamb, flavourful hams and more, please visit our holiday collection. This exceptional selection of high quality local products has been curated by our expert butchers for your convenience. It’s the best of the best—exactly what you’re looking for this holiday season.

We love a perfectly roasted turkey with all of the fixings, but some families prefer a different type of meal on Thanksgiving Sunday—prime rib, a rack of lamb or a delectable pork roast, perhaps. If you’re cooking for a larger group, you may want to offer two or more proteins along with your favourite holiday side dishes. Here are a few options to consider when planning your meal:
We also offer delectable prepared side dishes for your pleasure and convenience. And don’t forget about brunch, charcuterie and hostess gifts—we’ve got you covered there, too.
Olliffe is pleased to offer home delivery to local customers. Holiday products will be available for delivery between October 4th and 12th. In-store pick up will be available during the same time frame. We’ll ask you to confirm these details when placing your order online, in store or by phone.

This holiday season and always, the Olliffe team is grateful for your support of our proudly independent, Canadian business. When you order your Thanksgiving favourites from our butcher shop, you support local farmers and food producers while contributing to regenerative outcomes in your community. It’s a choice you can be proud of!

We understand that you may not be ready for this post yet. The first official day of fall is over a week away, and a lot of people don’t want summer to be over. But let’s face it—the days are getting cooler, there’s a chill in the evening air, pumpkin spice is on the menu everywhere you go, and a plate full of your favourite warm, delicious, fall comfort foods sounds pretty fantastic. In conclusion: fall is (essentially) here, so let’s embrace it.
The days are growing shorter, Labour Day has come and gone, and school is back in session. If you’ve got kids at home, this means you’re back to making school lunches five days a week—and by June, that adds up to a lot of lunches! Even if your children are old enough to pack their own lunch bags—a truly underrated parenting milestone—it means stocking your kitchen with family-friendly, school safe items that will actually get eaten. It can be a challenge, but your local butcher shop is here to help.
