Happy Holidays East Aurora!

We are thrilled to welcome to town.

Tyler Stewart sources all his meat from local farmers and it is hand-butchered by him the way it used to be done. No shortcuts, just skill and care and respect for the animals and farmers who raise them.

We are partnering up with Tyler to make entertaining this Christmas especially easy on you. You choose the meat and we’ll prepare the sides. Pick-up at

Tyler is located in the Oakwood Plaza. Stop by and say hello.

Our community is pretty lucky to have a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker.

Thank you for supporting your hometown merchants. We are grateful to you. 🎄
