ICYMI: pastured duck and how to save on summer favourites
Can you believe we’re almost halfway through summer already? It’s ok if you don’t want to talk about it—we understand that ‘summer forever’ feeling well—but we did want to offer some seasonal reminders and tips from the Olliffe team. Thanks for reading—we hope to see you in our Yonge Street butcher shop soon.
Pastured duck is here
In case you missed it: pasture-raised duck is available now at Olliffe. As we noted on our blog last week: This product is exceptional—rich, moist and delicious. Pasture-raised duck isn't gamey or tough—like our pastured chicken, it's a mouth-watering product that makes a perfect addition to your summer grilling rotation. It’s a must-try, and it’s only available while supplies last! Here’s what we’ll be offering this season:
- Duck breast
- Duck leg
- Cajun duck sausage
- Smoked duck breast
- Whole ducks
If you have any questions about this delicious local product, please let us know—our smoked duck breasts are available online and all products listed above are available in store right now. We also have some amazing pasture-raised duck eggs on hand. If you’re not sure where to start, an Olliffe butcher would be glad to speak with you and make personalized recommendations.
Another long weekend is coming
We’re midway through July, which means one thing: another long weekend is just around the corner. If you’ve got plans for the Civic Holiday, it’s time to start meal planning. There are the usual summer favourites—sausages, burgers, steak, chicken breasts, pork chops—but if you’re looking for a deal, we recommend shopping strategically. Our Solar Dollar Rewards members receive exclusive discount codes each week—if you haven’t signed up yet, here’s the link. It’s completely free and it only takes a moment to register your account. If you have any questions, please visit this webpage or contact us.
