We’re proud to be serving burgers and sausages to Elora Distillery! Pastured cattle, fed on grass and grains from the Elora Distillery, and other local breweries, a distillery, bakery, and vegetables from The Seed.

Contact us for steaks (tenderloin, strip loin, t-bone, prime rib), pre book Thanksgiving turkeys, or join the weekly egg delivery plan (very limited until fall!).
