Fresh and News

Starting to feel that Spring Fever...it’s settled in here at Foragers!

That snow some of you see out there is just a mirage. All over town we are seeing people hauling barbecues out of storage and getting ready for some good healthy eating, so take it from us this year’s hibernation is about to end.

At Foragers we have noticed a marked change in our customers as you have started to entertain at home again and our Gourmet Burgers are ready to jump out of the counter. Forager customers have their own inner food calendar. For example, Asian style cooking is moving out French inspired dishes and soft cheeses are becoming more popular than ever. We look forward to welcoming this new season of good eating.

Fowl News
We are pleased to announce our new chicken supplier, La Ferme of Pfefferlaw, Ontario. After searching and researching the last few weeks we have found a traditionally farmed, GMO-free grain fed chicken that are antibiotic, hormone, steroid free. We have sampled a few suppliers and found the La Ferme-supplied chickens to be of consistently high quality and great taste. Fresh chickens will be available Friday mornings.

The best news is that the chickens will be less expensive than previously. We wish our old supplier Field Gate Organics well as they transition to become a federal processor, which gives them access to the halls of supercentre shopping.

Sausage of the Week
This week our sausage making team will be stuffing a “Beer Banger.” The pork sausage will be the classicly spiced and short-linked English style banger with a hint of IPA style beer. Also, we will be stocking on a regular basis the Maple and Blueberry Breakfast Sausage as well as our “Country” sausage made simply of pork, sea salt and fresh pepper.

In the next few weeks we will be moving to a beef-based sausage of the week. As well, orders will be taken shortly for a Huron County lamb, Stilton and mint sausage.

House Accounts
Shopping at Foragers just got easier by having your own account. To set up a house account please email us and request a House Account Registration Card or better yet, stop in the store this weekend and fill one out. Information needed for a house account will be your contact information, credit card number, indication of billing method preference and billing frequency. Once your house account is set up you will be issued a PIN, which will identify you at checkout.


Keep Foraging,
