Effective today our regular weekday hours have changed. We're open from 9:30am - 7:00pm. We are also reserving 8:30-9:30am daily to provide a safer experience for our elderly and immunocompromised customers. If you're looking for a no-contact experience please call us or order online through Vincenzos Waterloo and we will happily prepare your order and bring it out to your trunk upon arrival. We hope you're all well and thank you so much for your continued support!

Hey Friends, just wanted to send a quick note to say that just like you, we're monitoring this situation closely. We found ourselves overwhelmed over the last few days trying to keep up with demand, but we've been in close contact with our supply chain and will be re-stocking today. We recognize the role we play in the food system, and getting food from our local farmers to our customers is more important than ever. We will continue to operate as usual, and want to assure ...you there will be no shortage of food. The nature of our business means that we're already constantly washing hands and surfaces and will be increasing the sanitization of areas our customers may touch. We're committed that no matter how this thing plays out we'll be here to provide you with safe and stable access to nutritious local food. We'll be sure to update you through our social channels of any changes as we get more updates from all levels of government. Be well, take care of each other and we'll all pull through this together.

We know Christmas is a time when you want to wow the in laws, or your siblings family and even Uncle Tony, so we want to help with the best product we can find... So we're pleased to let you know if you're looking for prime rib, we'll be featuring these "Full Monty" cap on roasts from the fine folks at Penokean Hills Farm in Bruce Mines, Ontario. This pea and barley fed beef has been dry aged for 30 days and has a flavour and tenderness that can't be beat! Give us a call, dm or email [email protected] to reserve yours.

Heading out today for our #uncommoncut club members. Brined and sous-vide pork shoulder chop with pickle salsa and confit potatoes. Our monthly meat club would make a great gift for the meat lovers in your life. A specially curated meal every month featuring the less common cuts. Available to purchase in store or online.

With the holiday season approaching, we'll now be open 7 days a week until Christmas to serve you better!

This is something really special... Purebred Wagyu beef from @blackviewfarm is available now! They're grazed on pasture for 40 months (10-14 months longer than typical beef), in the last three months they're given a free choice ration of peas, barley and oats. Meaning they still have full access to all of the grass they want. The flavour is rich, clean and, well, beefy! We have most cuts still available, but this won't last long!

Everyday we say thanks for being able to work with the amazing farmers and producers that we do.

We're one week away from our evening with Zane Caplansky. Join us as we help launch his new online store.

We're so excited to be hosting Zane Caplansky on Wednesday, August 21st to celebrate the re-launch of his line of amazing mustards!

The Uncommon Cut is a monthly meat subscription that honors the lesser known cuts and preparations of meat. Building on our ethical and sustainably-raised meat philosophies, we’re hoping this club will open you to the possibility of true nose-to-tail dining by introducing you to healthy and delicious uncommon cuts. Each month, subscribers will receive 4 portions of off menu meats ranging from uncommon cuts, like a marinated bavette with umami butter and unique preparation...s like a rolled pork secretto chop with pancetta, caul fat & gremolata. Each season will feature meats and cooking methods matched to the season. Think braising or the un-turkey meal in the fall. The Uncommon Cut subscription is an ideal gift for Father’s Day or anyone gearing up to grill this summer. www.bauerbutcher.com/mmc

The bossman is teaming up with our pals at Uptown 21 to bring you a stellar beef eating experience. We'll laugh, we'll cry but mostly we will feast on some amazing local beef over 5 courses. Head over to the link in their profile for ticket info.

And that's a wrap! Feeling very humbled by the support we've received this holiday season and we're so happy to be apart of you're holiday eating. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and sending all our best to each and every one of you! We'll see you back in a couple of days.

Just an FYI: we're open all weekend until the 24th. Regular business hours resume on the 27th, and we close at 5pm on New Years Eve.

Day 5 of #12daysofchristmasessentials is our new "Christmas Salt". We came up with this as a dry brine for Poultry (see below), but have quickly found that it's a great all purpose seasoning salt for pork, veggies, you name it! It's kosher salt blended with warm spices and orange and really makes the house smell like Christmas! . . . .... Dry brining is basically like wet brining without the space and mess... liberally rub your bird with this 24 hours before cooking... the salt draws out moisture that mixes with the salt and is then re-absorbed by the meat having the same effect as a liquid brine.

Day 4 of #12daysofchristmasessentials is one of my favourite birds, the pheasant. Ours are certainly, well, pleasant. Coming from Chassagne Farm in Puslinch, where they get lots of fresh air and exercise with a diet of herbs, wildflowers and vegetables. If you're looking for something different, give Pheasant a try.

Day 3 of our #12daysofchristmasessentials is the one and only Prime Rib! Seeing one of these come out of the oven just screams that you're about to have a special meal... it's the king of beef roasts after all. Flavourful, tender, and just the right amount of fat to keep it juicy... what more do you need!

On the 2nd day of our #12daysofchristmasessentials it's Bacon! (Aka the gateway meat). Wether you're wrapping your bird, using it as a base for stuffing or veg it is an essential in the holiday kitchen... And let's not forget about breakfast on Christmas day am I right? In my house it's all about panetone french toast with a big pile of it on the side!

Over the next 12 days we wanted to share some of our essentials for a great Chistmas dinner... first up in our #12daysofchristmasessentials is the Capon. If you're group doesn't quite justify a 15lb+ bird, and you don't want to be eating leftovers for a week, try a capon. They average 7-9lb and can comfortably feed around 8 people. You can also cook it in under 2 hours which frees up your oven for your sides! . . . Call, dm or hit the link in our bio to order.

We're taking orders for Christmas! Order now to secure your roast of choice. We've made things easier for you this year with an online order form (www.bauerbutcher.com/holiday-orders), we'll also have some oven ready sides available to help ease the pressure and give you more time to enjoy your company.
