Because we’ve relocated to the Hamilton area, our Meat Share Program has been put on hold, temporarily. Jamie is still doing classes both in the Hamilton and Windsor areas. Classes and demonstrations will still be posted through this site and FB page.
The Meat Share Program.
Our most current project is the whole animal Meat Share Program. The MSP is a first of its kind, unique opportunity for customers to experience all that a high quality food animal has to offer. We have made invaluable relationships with local farmers who raise their animals in a truly respectful manner – right here in Essex County. All animals are raised on natural diets, free from antibiotics or growth promoting hormones. When we have enough interest in an animal, it is then purchased from the farm, dry aged when necessary (beef) and broken down at a provincially inspected facility.
Beef, pork and lamb are equally divided into 20lb “shares”, which means each share will contain some of the prime cuts, alternative cuts, roast and ground meats. Poultry shares are sold in 4 bird packages – 2 will be trussed and 2 broken down into familiar portions. Offal cuts and marrow or soup bones are available upon request. Each cut is skillfully butchered, vacuum sealed and labeled for your convenience.
Shares are purchased online, right here (below), and are paid for via PayPal. Shares will be delivered to a central pick up spot in Windsor, ON, monthly.
BEEF SHARE
Naturally bred, calved and finished all at Shawn Morris Farms under the caring hand of one of our most impassioned farmers. Shawn is a true cattleman, dedicated to his herd and is consistent in providing us with beef of the highest quality. The farm is located in Comber, ON.
Great butchering ensures that the whole animal is used to it’s fullest potential.
You will find included in the package some interesting cuts that you may not be so familiar with. Jamie takes the time to seam muscles that would normally go into the mince bin. “Second” cuts such as flat iron, flank, bavette, and short ribs will all find their way into your custom package. For tips on how to prepare some of these delicious and exciting alternative cuts, please see our recipe section.
Shares will be divided up with an even mix of premium roasts, premium steaks (tenderloin, NY strip, ribeyes), ‘second’ steaks (bavette, flat iron, skirt, etc.), slow roasts, stew beef, and mince.
Liver, heart, tongue and stock bones are available on request. When you decide to purchase a share, PayPay will provide you with an opportunity to place these special requests. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us.
All shares are vacuumed sealed and labeled for your convenience.

Ewe Dell Family Farms in Woodslee, ON began as a modest 30 ewe farm. The operation has grown to include a flock of 4,000 and includes a modern, government inspected abattoir, which was specifically designed to process sheep. Owned and operated by the kind and ever-generous Fuerth Family, Ewe Dell is a recipient of the Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence and specializes in local, naturally fed lamb; which is raised and processed on site. Ontario lamb is known for its sweet and mild flavour.

Born and raised at Wagner Farms, Estate Winery and Orchard (Maidstone, ON), the intense flavour of these Berkshire beauties will never let you down. Highly prized for their luscious pork flavour and juiciness, Berkshire meat is pink-hued and heavily marbled, unlike commercial white pork. Its higher fat content not only makes it extremely delicious, it is also suitable for longer cooking times and is less likely to be easily dried out.
Shares will be divided up with an even mix of roasts, chops, double smoked bacon, sausage, and mince. A variety of interesting
sausages will be made on a rotating basis.
Liver, heart, tongue and stock bones are available on request.
