In the summer of 2020, Meghan travelled to Tofino, BC for a family vacation. While she was there, she stumbled across a great little charcuterie shop that allowed customers to pickup grab and go charcuterie boxes to take to the beach. Meghan thought this was a great idea and knew that this was exactly the type of business Saskatoon had been missing.
Once she returned home she approached Cristie, an avid supporter of all things local, with the idea and she immediately jumped on board. The two spent the next few weeks researching local products they could feature and making connections within the community. After a ton of research, planning, and lessons about working in the food industry, The Prairie Grazer was born!
The Prairie Grazer supports local businesses in the Saskatoon community through their marketplace, featuring items that are typically included in the grazing boxes. Beyond this, they offer workshops and events, bringing people together to gather, graze, and build connections.
The Prairie Grazer is reinventing what it means to gather and share a meal. Food is something that brings us all together and if we can all come together to graze, whether virtually or in-person, and celebrate the amazing local businesses within our community, everyone wins!
Join us to hear Meghan & Cristie’s journey.
