Really nice people and its nice to support a local farmer, and to know where your food comes from.

This review is exclusively for their beef jerky. My brother got one of those beef jerky…read moresubscription-type boxes for us all to share and there were a couple of Stemmler's beef jerky bags in the box. They retail for $7.99 for 85g bags, but the bags in the box were smaller, weighing in at 57g The thing I like about their beef jerky is that it's tender and soft-ish. Not really hard or excessively chewy that your temples hurt after eating a few pieces. It was pretty salty, but all beef jerky is. My husband who likes gamey meats said it was a bit gamey. However, I don't like gamey meats, and I didn't find it particularly gamey. So take that for what it's worth, lol. I like that it's a small independent Canadian brand. Would eat it again. (64)

In recent years we've opted for turkey stuffed turkey breast instead of the whole bird because the smallest one was 15+ lbs! The quality of meats here is always remarkable. The staff who have been working here for years are always friendly, knowledgeable, and work around this shop like a well oiled machine. In pre-pandemic times, they would offer a free Christmas dinner in a cup where you could add everything including cranberry sauce and gravy and enjoy it while you wait for your order to come out. My suggestion is to order well in advance to get on the list. They are doing drive through/car pick ups right now as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect so I opted for some marinated boneless lemon and herb chicken breasts. I cut the chicken up and added my favorite kabob vegetables (red pepper, egg plant and zucchini) and threw them on the bbq. Man, where they ever good. The chicken was probably the freshest I've had. Tender and juicy. Later I found out they already have prepared shish kabobs. Doh! I will definitely return to try their other specialties (ribs and steaks).

I've been experiencing a lot of frustration, lately, with my local food scene. We live in the heart…read moreof Ontario's best growing country, and yet the "Farmer's Market" is crammed full of sellers who import things from Mexico, Morocco, even from my beloved Willamette Valley in Oregon, 3000 miles away -- all with the inconvenience of cash-only, no ABM/ATM on the premises, and so desperately overcrowded that it often takes 10 minutes to move 5 feet. (And did I mention that it's only available Saturday until noon? And the actual local producers sell out long before then? And that parking thereabouts is a nightmare?) The grocery stores that we've investigated are full of cheap/generic/environmentally unsustainable, with some of the most appallingly aged and limp imported produce I've ever seen -- and all with the customer service attitude of "like it or lump it; who do you think you are, someone special?" Oh yeah, and the supply is inconsistent -- if I find a product that I like, they'll stop carrying it and won't bring it back, even if I'm willing to special-order it by the case. Disheartened, I had pretty much resigned myself to shopping weekly at Whole Foods, an hour away, which (as always) is stocked to the rafters with beautiful organic foodstuffs, nitrite/nitrate-free meats, sustainably-harvested, marine stewardship council-certified wild-caught fish, artisan boutique cheeses, and organic fair-trade shade-grown coffee. (Did I mention that it's an hour away? Not exactly convenient. And that's a lot of driving -- 2 hours worth of carbon emissions per shopping trip.) But coming from Portland, I have food quality standards that I am unwilling to compromise, knowing just how good food can be... Enter Angelino's Market. My darling husband, feeling adventurous, found this gem due to a traffic detour. Locally owned family market, featuring local produce and high quality meats. It's not much to look at on the outside, but get a load of the pics I took inside... it's spotlessly clean, and filled with gorgeous high quality food. Some of my faves: The best fresh-squeezed orange and grapefruit juice I've had since I left Portland. On par with what I used to drink daily when I lived in Southern California, where the oranges and grapefruits are grown. Vast and varied meat and cheese deli. They roast their own garlic roast beef in-house -- tender, medium-rare, stuffed with roasted garlic cloves and crusted in fresh herbs. Thinly sliced, it's the only lunch meat I've found in the Guelph area that isn't chock-full of nitrites/nitrates (which prematurely age cells and tissues -- I don't need any help aging, thanks -- and can lead to cancer). It's also utterly delicious. An enormous olive and antipasti bar. With several different iterations of anchovies and sardines. Yum. A large meat section -- they cut and grind their own meat daily, and it's lean and red and very appealing. A bakery section that features local bakery bread, gorgeous focaccia pizzas, and some of the loveliest pastry confections I've ever seen. The best produce I've seen in the province. Period. Friendly, attentive, responsive staff -- I spent half an hour gabbing with Rob, the meat department manager, who was knowledgeable, clued-in as to the health benefits and superior flavor of sustainably-produced, local fresh meats, and held forth in intelligent discourse about production methods (he's produced his own in the past, and is currently raising free-run chickens). So, for those of you who love good food, good news! I'll see you at Angelino's. Just save me some orange juice.

They're an incredibly lovely little place that sells amazing cuts of meats, superior quality and has wonderful packages! We love their "Pick 5" and "Steak Pack" packages and have purchased multiples of them! Their smoked pork chop is also to die for! They are a little far from us (we're from Oakville) but every couple of months we would drive out and top off our meat supplies. They are also conveniently pre-packaged in vacuum sealed packs which makes meal planning very easy.

There are a lot of wonderful shops, and it's very walkable. We stopped in this story, which is nominally an olive oil and herbs shop, but because it was summertime and it is hot, I suspect they decided to diversify, and they also have some ice cream. It was good, but not jump-out-of-your-skin wonderful. The counter was a little disorganized for checking out, but it seems like it would be a better place to visit for olive oil purposes.

I was here on a walking culinary tour…read more The tour met at our first stop where we were introduced to Harisson, our fabulous tour guide. The Village Olive Grove is a gourmet extra virgin olive oil and vinegar shop that imports from all over the world. There we learned how to tell if extra virgin olive oil is authentic and how it's made. We also learned how to taste vinegar without the acidic flavour getting in the way. Just when you think you're a foodie, you learn something new! Love it! Last, but not least, we sampled Mapleton's Organic Ice Cream. It was flavoured with dandelion. It had a mild mocha flavour. Pretty good! We all looked worried when he said it was made with dandelion, but were all impressed. The owner is very knowledgeable and will allow you to sample any oil or vinegar in the store. The prices are higher than grocery stores, but you're here for the quality and you will definitely get it!
