Andoullie is a spicy Cajun style sausage so this one has some heat 🔥🔥

Linda from will have a booth set up this weekend at
You have seen our posts and maybe attended an information session on Farmworks, but this is your chance to speak directly to Linda about how Farmworks works as well as local food issues that are on your mind! Linda is a major wealth of knowledge about food security and politics in our province.
Every year, I post to support Farmworks during their call for investors, and every year that passes, things get collectively worse.
If you want to do something but aren't sure what to do or how to get involved Farmworks is a network of people who are supporting local farms and food businesses like ours.
As the poster above says; they've invested over $11.7 million in local food businesses since 2012. If you eat at local restaurants and support local food, then you have Farmworks to thank.
Farmworks will be set up this Saturday, February 7th you can find out more about Farmworks, or you can ask Linda about the Local Food Forum they hosted this past fall at Acadia University.
The market is open from 8 to 1. Please stop by and say hi to Linda.

Rich beef broth with fresh garlic, ginger, cinnamon, star anise and other aromatics.
Let us do the work for you
#soupseason #comfortfood #6primrose #nosetotail #pho
Small farm raised (free range) chicken, marinated in our Hariyali chicken recipe (if you've bought the chicken pieces this summer or tried the sausage last week, you know it's delicious!)
Chicken breast, cubed, seared, and roasted. Legs and wings seared, and slow roasted all day, then pulled. All mixed together and topped with a sweet roasted pepper relish, pickled red onions and lettuce topped with tabouli- a parsley salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, spices, lemon, oil, bulgur (a type of grain) and finished it off with a creamy garlic sauce.
We think this is a Mat's first chicken sandwich, and what a sandwich it is.
*The marinade has a bit of heat to it

This week, we made fresh our chorizo lasagna and shepherd's pie but frozen we also have turkey dinner (with cranberry sauce and without), bacon mac and cheese, turkey pot pies, as well as a few others we put into rotation.
These meals are all in the $20-$25 range and 2+ lbs of food, easily enough for 2 people or 4 smaller servings with a side. (With the exception of the pot pies that are half the size).
Everyone has to make their dollar go as far as possible so next time you're thinking about spending $20 on a processed burger and fries, remember you can get several filling meals from all natural ingredients with a little planning and 30 minutes in the oven.
We have so many new customers coming in, that we wanted to put together a little video showcasing what our shop is all about.
It takes some time to figure out how we work but we promise it is worth it!
We bring in whole animals and break them down and that is the meat we use to build all of our products every week.
Our shop is a service style counter so when you come in you have to interact with us!
Since we are trying to capitalize on as much of the animal as we can, you are going to see lots of cuts that you have never seen before. This is how we make it all work.
We THRIVE on transformation so we are always trying to come up with lots of delicious options for you to try but we never have the same things all the time. You'd get bored, we'd get bored.... It wouldn't work.
Our staff are trained to sell down. We want to talk to you about what you are cooking and figure out how to best make it happen for you. If there is a cut we think will be a good match that is more economical, we will let you know. Food is expensive enough. These are suggestions we would make for ourselves!
There is less at the beginning of the week and more at the end of the week. We break everything down by hand and make everything from that meat, in order to have it fresh for the weekend it takes us time through out the week to prepare.
We have cuts in the back. We don't put everything into the window at once, or we'd be open for 3 days. We always put a small variety of offerings into the display case but we always have options in the back. If you want something specific please ask.
We aim to sell out. We don't want to have old product sitting around and the best way to make that happen is to make just enough or a little less. So if you want something specific or see something on social media that you want call us and we'll hold it for you.
Vessel Meat's is your friendly neighbourhood butcher shop. We are go grateful for all the people who have patroned us for the last 11 years.
Shout out to for helping us with this awesome video!
