And now, we’ve got some awesome new products to help make it happen!

Their story

Furtado Farms was established in 2012 and is based in Wellesley and Elmira, Ontario. All Furtado Farms Cookwood is locally sourced, hand-selected and processed in house. Their cookwood is naturally cured and packaged by hand to ensure that optimal quality goes into each and every bag. They don't use artificial flavours or oils to scent or alter their products—whether it's peach, hickory, apple or mesquite, Furtado Farms uses nothing but 100% natural wood. This is why the quality of their products is so amazing!

You can learn more about them at FurtadoFarms.ca, follow them on Instagram or visit VG Meats to grab some of their best products.
