The Power of Local Culinary Collaboration
We are proud to highlight a fantastic business feature written by The Peterborough Examiner, covering our creative partnership with Graz Restobar and Feast and Fusion in Bobcaygeon!
As slow-smoking pitmasters, our meats take up to 16 hours of continuous wood combustion. This extreme time requirement makes maintaining daily restaurant hours a huge challenge for a small family-run farm. The Examiner covered how we solved this beautifully by partnering with other local culinary talents to keep doors open and ovens hot seven days a week.
Making Smokehouse BBQ Accessible Seven Days a Week
The Examiner detailed how Graz Restobar tapped into our smokehouse expertise to expand their menu, allowing customers to order our legendary wood-smoked brisket, pulled pork, and hand-crafted Sweet Whiskey Heat wings daily.
"Graz Restobar partners with The Back 40 and Feast and Fusion to keep doors open seven days a week and offer unique, highly-satisfying menu options in the heart of Bobcaygeon."
