Fraberts has been very busy, thanks to your support over the past summer and fall and especially during the busy Thanksgiving season. As some of the local produce winds down, don’t forget that we always have local meat, root veggies (potatoes, carrots, onions, parsnips, etc), apples, tunnel tomatoes and local garlic boasting amazing flavour. Chef Derek’s homemade soups are a great treat on these cool fall and soon-to-be winter days. His classics are back – his famous butternut squash soup, pea soup, mushroom, and beef barley. He has created some new ones too – have you tried his Thai soup yet? It is delicious!

There is nothing like wholesome Fraberts comfort soups, stews, curries and meat pies to huddle down with during the dreary days of November.

Thank you for your generosity!

Thanks to our generous customers for raising nearly $90 for the Centre Wellington Food Bank. Fraberts will match this amount and top it up to $200. This will provide fresh bananas, apples, and oranges for the Food Bank to get them through until our Christmas Food Drive begins.

Cooking Classes will return

We will again be hosting cooking classes this winter to help you warm up and beat off the winter blues. Stay tuned!

Fraberts has launched its website

Check us out online at www.frabertsfreshfood.com. Let us know what you think of the site and if there is any way we can make it more informative for you.

What’s New at Fraberts

Derek and I attended the Culinary Tourism Summit at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair last week and made some new connections with farmers and artisan food processors – watch our shelves over the next few weeks as we bring some delicious and unique new local and Ontario products to the store in time for the Christmas season.

We had the pleasure of representing “Savour Elora and Fergus”, our local culinary tourism initiative, at the Royal last week along with Best Baa. We are now carrying Best Baa’s sheep milk products – delicious and unique cheeses, milk, and yogurt. With all the fabulous local farmers, food producers, and restaurants in Centre Wellington – it’s very easy to promote our area as a culinary destination worth checking out!

Christmas is Around the Corner

Start thinking about how you want to celebrate with your family. We will send more information on how to order turkeys, chicken, roasts, pork, lamb or anything else to make your Christmas delicious with our next newsletter in a few weeks.

Thanks for your support!
Jackie and Derek
