If you’ve got a fantastic dad, grandpa or other father figure in your life, it’s time to start thinking about Father’s Day—it’s coming up on Sunday, June 18th. Whether you’re celebrating a parent or the father of your own children, a family meal is a wonderful way to spend time together.
The first long weekend of the season has come and gone and June is nearly here. That can only mean one thing—it’s almost time for pasture-raised chicken at Olliffe! If you’re familiar with this specialty product, you already understand why we’re eager to get it to our customers. And if you’re new to pastured poultry, read on—we’ll tell you all about it.
The first long weekend of the season is here and we’re ready to enjoy it! Whether you’re heading north, taking it easy at home or planning a BBQ here in the city, Olliffe has everything you need for an excellent Victoria Day weekend that’s packed with delicious, high quality local food.
At Olliffe, we value family and have a lot of respect for moms—after all, where would we be without them? It’s often said that mothers are the backbone of society and who make the world go round, and you won’t find us disagreeing. A great mom is invaluable, and we’re lucky to have some incredible women in our families and on our team.
The best Mother’s Day gift is something that’s thoughtful, heartfelt and chosen with the recipient in mind. It’s a holiday that many of us put a lot of effort into each year—but sometimes, it’s hard to decide on a present—particularly if you want to veer away from tradition and give Mom something that’s fun and unexpected.
In many ways, April feels like a month of change and transition as we shake off the last, lingering thoughts of winter and begin to fully embrace spring. We’re cooking outdoors, putting away our winter jackets for the third (and hopefully final) time and making plans for the beautiful spring and summer months ahead. But while you’re soaking up those much-needed rays of sunshine and anticipating the first long weekend of the season, don’t forget what comes first: Mother’s Day.
BBQ season is officially here and we couldn’t be more pleased. After some gorgeous weather this past Easter weekend, we’re ready for more Saturdays full of sunshine, fresh air and the scent of dinner cooking on the grill.
Earlier this month, we came across an interesting episode of the CBC podcast What On Earth that discussed a region of prairie grasses in Saskatchewan known as the Northeast Swale. This protected area within city limits is home to a number of plant and animal species including leopard frogs, sharp-tailed grouse, jackrabbits and more.
