Pioneer Butchery & Charcurterie
Pioneer Butchery and Charcuterie was built around tradition. Sausage, smokies and charcuterie products are made with locally sourced, naturally raised meats.“Last year we started using some cured and smoked meat products for on-course outlet snacks like ginger beef jerky and pepperoni sticks from the great group of guys at Pioneer. The overwhelming satisfaction we’ve received from members last season is why we are excited to introduce more of their products this year and support the philosophy that they illustrate.”
They have combined time tested methods with new ideas and flavours to create a distinct and exciting line of products. All of their products are gluten free. Pioneer Butchery was founded in 2019 by Greg Dixon, Taylor Gant and Allan Dixon. While the latest iteration of Pioneer may still be in its infancy, the Pioneer “brand” has been around for several generations.
In 1959, Dr. Allan Dixon, Greg and Allan’s late grandfather, bought the Bar 11 Ranch on Alberta’s Cowboy Trail. Dr. Dixon was an avid outdoorsman, entrepreneur, and cattle enthusiast. Under the banner of “Pioneer Simmentals”, Dr. Dixon brought the first Simmental bull into Canada from Europe. From then on, ranching and rural living have been deeply ingrained in Dr. Dixon’s lineage.
Most Albertan’s feel a deep pride in their agricultural heritage and its renown on the world stage. Despite this appreciation, for the average consumer it is still difficult to source local, natural, and sustainably raised meats. A founding principal of Pioneer was to help bridge this gap and provide Albertan consumers with easy access to the quality and ethically raised meats in their own backyard.
In addition to supporting local ranchers, Pioneer aims to provide Albertans with innovative and healthy products of the highest quality. All recipes and procedures have been meticulously crafted to create a unique product line and ensure the quality of the finished goods does justice to the meats they are created with.
