Spragg’s Meat Shop

Spragg’s Meat Shop is the definition of a true farm-to-table operation. Their pigs and lambs are raised on the family’s farm near Rosemary, Alta. The animals enjoy sunlight, fresh air and open pasture. The meat is then processed on-site before being sold at one of Spragg’s several retail locations, including its newest spot at Calgary Farmers’ Market West, the original market location at Calgary Farmers’ Market South, and their storefront businesses in Calgary and Rosemary.

All of their pork and lamb products come from the Spragg family farm, and chicken is sourced from Bowden Farm Chickens. The Spraggs say small-scale food processing is essential for environmental sustainability and high-quality products.

“When you know the farmer, you know that the animal was raised right, and your food tastes better,” explains. “Plus, you can’t beat the freshness of our meats. All of our products are made on Monday and are in Calgary for sale by Wednesday – it doesn’t get fresher than that!”

This summer, watch for thick-cut pork chops, ribs, smokies and kebabs, all perfect for grilling during barbecue season. Customers can head to Spragg’s Facebook, Instagram and website to find recipe ideas and current specials.
