Happy Father’s Day from Olliffe

This Sunday, June 16th is Father’s Day, and we’re ready to celebrate the incredible dads, grandpas, stepdads and other father figures in our lives. Cheers to the men who have always been there for us and raised us well! They’ve certainly earned the accolades they’ll get this weekend.

Traditional Father’s Day celebrations often include a backyard barbeque—an ideal Sunday, if you ask us. Here are a few thoughts ahead of the weekend, including some last-minute gift ideas. We hope to see you in our Yonge Street butcher shop soon.

Let’s Celebrate Dad

A family’s busy schedule can be a lot to navigate, but it’s important to take pause, reflect and show gratitude to the people in our lives. Father’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to recognize the efforts and impact of the amazing dads in our lives, and celebrate them accordingly. You may want to start with a heartfelt card and some thoughtful gifts, but remember—a fantastic meal is a must! We offered a few suggestions in our last blog post including burgers, steaks, marinated lamb chops, fine dining options and more. Why not cook up his favourite dishes and enjoy some quality time as a family? That sounds like a perfect Father’s Day to us!

Last minute gift ideas

A last minute Father’s Day gift can still be thoughtful, personal and exciting for the recipient. If you’d like personalized product recommendations from our butchers or help finding that perfect gift, please let us know. We’d be happy to offer guidance by phone or assist you with your shopping in store. Here are a few suggestions:

• An Olliffe gift card (available in store) so he can buy his favourite Ontario beef, poultry and pork products
• A classic Ontario beef tomahawk steak—one of our signature items that never fails to impress!
• A variety of high quality spices, cooking oils and other pantry items to stock his cupboards
• A selection of delicious, convenient prepared meals

Here’s to you, dads

Whether you’re able to spend Father’s Day with your dad, will be celebrating him from afar or are honouring his memory this weekend, we hope you have a safe and pleasant weekend with your loved ones. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend.
