@KirkviewFarms chicken legs with @JambelCuisine #JerkSauce and @KricklewoodFarm hot Roasted Chili Sunflower Oil in the case today and have been marinating since last night so theyll perfect over the grill tonight. #OttawaFood #Ottawa #Butchers #613

I have been flying through @ToroMatcha lately...Ive always enjoyed matcha for the steady, clear, and long lasting energy and it has been especially helpful lately during this pandemic. The anxiety has been real as a business owner and an amino acid called L-Theanine in matcha helps steady the brainwaves. Ive been reaching for ToroMatcha for its convenience, fresh flavours, 0 sugar content (!), and theyre a Canadian company from Montreal. @ToroMatcha is now available at ATB and I think its safe to say everyone has taken a liking to it. Keto friendly, 10 calories per can, refreshing, and all natural. We encourage you to try one even if you dont like matcha. #ToroMatcha #Matcha #Canadian #Ottawa #OttawaFood

@thejmoops @amcam99 @newellthebutcher all cute like. #Ottawa #OttawaFood #Butchers

@13SocEnt with the fresh batch.

#Striploin steaks with 55 days of age on em dont care about rain. #OttawaFood #Ottawa #Butchers #613

@CanardduVillage is back on the block at ATB. Legs, breasts, rendered fat, and whole birds! #Ottawa #OttawaFood #MuscovyDuck #duck #naturallyraised

Not the most interesting photo but thats not the point. The point is that we have #pastured whole chickens and #chicken pieces from @kirkviewfarms in our display freezers. Its excellent chicken. We are happy to reserve some for you. #Ottawa #OttawaFood #butchers #613

Just a reminder that ATB is closed today . Happy long weekend!

@TheCountyBounty Artisanal Soda Co. is back. Over the last 6 months we kept our inventory a bit tighter but we are happy to reintroduce products such as these back to you now that were welcoming people back into the shop. We hope to keep bringing you exciting and interesting product lines. #Ottawa #OttawaFood #Soda #butchers #613 #CraftSoda #AllNatural

Pretty beautiful grass fed and finished ground beef. Beef sourced from @kirkviewfarms. Aged in store. Broken down, ground, and photographed by @newellthebutcher. I made burgers last night with it, salt, pepper, and @stonesoupfarmer heritage organic garlic. Thats it, thats all. It was an outstanding burger. Lots of it in store sold by the pound. #grassfedbeef #organic #garlic #Ottawa #OttawaFood #butchers #613

Remember Sierra? Shes back! Here she is with a nicely aged brisket. You can tell by the way the piece flops down on either side...the aging process naturally tenderizes. #Brisket #Ottawa #OttawaFood #Butchers #613

#Saturday #WeekendVibes #Ottawa #OttawaFood #Ribeye #Steak

Strictly grass fed and grass finished beef from @kirkviewfarms. Dry aged in house. We have most of a steer broken down and ready for sale in our display. Free from antibiotics, hormones, and steroids. Local. Nutrient dense. Satisfying. #OttawaFood #butchers #Ottawa #grassfedbeef #613

Some fresh items in the store for the long weekend. Cant recommend the Jamaican Style Jerk Marinade enough from @jambelcuisine 01 is mild and 02 has a nice slow burning heat. Jerk Aioli available too. @theketchupproject is spinning new flavours in here - Big Dilly Style is an instant classic. Yesterday we received a big shipment of fresh organic Ontario garlic from @stonesoupfarmer for the first time. Its the real deal and you can get away with using less of it due its strong, delicious flavour profile. Thanks producers and suppliers! #Ottawa #OttawaFood #butchers #613 #saucy #garlic #organic

Ours doors are open once again, just in time for the long weekend! We want to extend a warm welcome to you back into our shop. We will now be open 7 days a week, excluding statutory holidays. Our new hours are Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. This is a big step for us. We think a 7 day rotation will allow us to offer a greater, more consistent selection of our high quality products.... Its been a difficult time to navigate for a small store like ours. Our new approach will have a method of service for everyone: Shop in-person 7 days a week Telephone in your orders during our increased opening hours at 613-820-3258 Order online 24/7 at www.aroundtheblockbutchershop.com. Customers are welcome inside the store Tuesdays to Saturdays for counter service. We have many new COVID19 protections in the store. We will be limiting the number of customers to 3 at this time. Customers are required to wear masks in the store (Ottawa Public Health mandates this). If you happen to have forgotten your mask, we can sell you a disposable one for a small fee. We are not offering sandwiches at this time. Some may still prefer not entering the store. For those customers, our service window Airlock will be in place at the shop front door on Sundays and Mondays. Lastly, and most importantly, we thank you for your continued support and adaptability to our new methods. Were very optimistic about the future of ATB and have all of you to thank for that! From everyone at ATB, and theres more of us now than ever! #OttawaFood #Ottawa #Butchers #613 #SmallBusiness #WelcomeBack #goodtoseeya See more

Were excited to welcome you back inside! For those that prefer our service window, dont worry, well be offering that service method on Sundays and Mondays. See you soon! - ATB

#Burgers with @obrienfarmsbeef lean inside round and @kirkviewfarms heritage pork fat. Seasoned with celery salt, rosemary, fennel seed, and lots of cracked pepper.
