Get ready for the long weekend with Rowe Farms!

We love the August long weekend! The midway point of summer, it’s known for giving us beautiful weather, fun in the sun and plenty of opportunities for rest and relaxation. Whether you’re going camping, staying in the city, visiting the cottage or lounging poolside this August long (side note: we all need more friends with pools!), we hope you have a fantastic Civic Holiday.

Here are a few long weekend BBQ ideas from the Rowe Farms team. If you’d like help finding your favourite local products (or discovering new favourites), please call your neighbourhood Rowe Farms market or stop by in person. We’ll be open all weekend, and we look forward to seeing you in Guelph or Toronto!

High quality, grill-ready and delicious

We all know and love the long weekend essentials—steaks, burgers, hot dogs, pork back ribs and sausages—but don’t forget these awesome options.

• Korean or southwest marinated beef short ribs: these tender, thin-cut short ribs offer big, bold flavours that pair beautifully with summer salads (potato, macaroni, coleslaw, etc). They grill to perfection in no time, and everyone will be wanting a second helping!
• Beef brisket: if you have a smoker, this is the cut of Ontario beef for you—the flavour and tenderness are incredible. Serve it on a bun or the traditional Texas BBQ way (with beans, fresh cornbread and potato salad).
• Frenched lamb chops: for an elevated grilling experience, grab some of these amazing Ontario lamb chops. Tender, mild and ready to season anyway you like them, these chops are a local delicacy.
• Leek and feta chicken sausage: if you love our Ontario pork sausages, you’ll love these flavourful chicken sausages made with high quality Ontario poultry! They’re also available in delicious spinach and feta, honey garlic, salt and pepper, jalapeno cheddar and sundried tomato.
• Smoked pork chops: want a dinner that’s quick and easy, but tastes like you spent all day on it? This is the way to go! Just add your favourite potatoes and salad for a complete meal in no time.

If you’d like to place a custom order (thick cut steaks, for example) or get personalized product recommendations from the Rowe Farms team, please contact us. We’d be glad to hear from you!
