Supporting local is not only great for you and your budget, but it is also great for your community and the environment. We love supporting our local Alberta producers and farmers, and we hope you do too!
This is what supporting local means for you and your community:
You Know EXACTLY Where Your Food Comes From
When you buy local, it means you know exactly where your food originated and how it got to you. You can feel confident that you are supporting local farmers who are investing in ethical, sustainable farming practices and healthy environments for free-range animals.
Your Food Doesn’t Travel As Far
When your meat products come from a local Alberta farm, it means that your food has to travel less of a distance from us to you. This is what we mean when we say ‘Farm to Table’. You can follow the pigs from our farm to our processing facility, to our stores and then straight to your family’s table. You are helping cut down on the carbon footprint when you are purchasing locally as opposed to imported products.
When You Shop Local, Your Money Stays Local
When you can support your local farmers, it means you are supporting the local economy, and that money can keep circulating in our province feeding local, hardworking families. You are supporting your neighbours and helping them grow their dream into a thriving small business.
Local Food Tastes Better and is Better on Your Wallet
With locally raised meat products, the quality of the animals’ life really makes a difference, and that shows in the taste of the meat. It also tastes better knowing that the animals were pasture-raised in a low-stress environment with no additives. Additionally, it’s a common assumption that big box store meat products will be more economical on your budget, but our prices are quite comparable, and even more so when you buy in bulk.

You Get to Know the People Behind the Products
As local farmers, this is our livelihood, and we love what we do. By shopping local, you can get to know the farmers behind the products that you love.
If we are not on the farm with the pigs, you can find us at one of our locations, and we love talking to our customers about our products!
Stop into either of our meat shops in Rosemary or Calgary, find us at our two booths at the Calgary Farmers’ Market, or shop our Alberta raised, sustainably farmed, free-range pork at various stores in Calgary, including all three Community Natural Foods locations. We take pride in feeding Albertan families like our own. Thank you for shopping local!
