Kyle Van Groningen

The third born, Kyle, attributes his butchery skills to his dear old Dad and is proud to call himself a third generation butcher.

“I oversee all retail operations in our Stoney Creek Store and help with the retail store in Simcoe. I am the connection between the farmer, the processing plant, and the customer. I live to help customers look like rockstars at their dinner parties, and I try as hard as possible to be a trendsetter when it comes to cutting.”

Kyle knows the counters, the customers and number of times the retail door opens like the back of his hand. When he isn’t wearing his VG retail gear he is almost certainly holding a hockey stick. In the winter, Kyle can still be found at the ice rink 2-3 time a week. In the summer, Kyle is busy in our retail stores teaching people how to up their BBQ game, giving them tips on how to make the best wings at home and stocking our meat counters with all the best local meat for your grill. Kyle and his wife Raelynn live in Norfolk County with their young son and love the wonderful bounty of the area from local farmers, wineries and growers.
