On Friday, May 3, the federal government announced the second wave of recipients receiving funding from the Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, a $2-billion investment that seeks to help double the number of women-led businesses by 2025. The Calgary recipients were announced at an event held at District Ventures. Our very own co-owner of Spragg’s Meat Shop, Bonnie Spragg, is proud to have been selected as one of the women-led businesses to receive $100,000 from the fund.
We believe that the more Alberta farmers connect with customers, the better. Knowing your farmer leads to knowing your food, and ultimately a deeper connection and appreciation between us all. Each family farm and ranch across Alberta has a unique story, and we hope that you enjoy getting to know who we are, what we do, and how we do it at Spragg’s Meat Shop through our Spotlight Q&A series. Last month, we interviewed co-owner of Spragg’s Meat Shop, Bonnie Spragg.
This month, we’re excited to introduce you to Bonnie and Greg’s daughter, Ruth Spragg, who’s spent her entire life growing up on the farm, appreciating the land, connecting with nature and working alongside her family.
We love kicking off spring in the messiest way possible! Don’t ribs taste better the old fashioned way?

You may know and love the local products we produce and sell at Spragg’s Meat Shop, but how much do you really know about our people, who work so hard behind the scenes? Spragg’s Meat Shop has been an Alberta-based family business since 2005. Led by husband and wife team, Greg and Bonnie Spragg, we are proud farmers, business owners, parents, and so much more.
Over the next few weeks, we’re excited to be rolling out our Q&A blog series. With each installment, you’ll learn more about who we are, what we do, and how we do it!
