2024 BFO Swag Shop

Jul 12, 2024

Looking to "beef" up your wardrobe or find a great gift idea? The annual BFO swag shop is now open and has you covered!

Until July 26th, our online shop will be open for a limited time to get you outfitted with your BFO and Ontario Beef gear. There are some great new items, and some old favourites as well! From cozy sweatshirts to fun socks and even water bottles, there is something for everyone!

New to the shop this year, we've added our 'listen. reflect. reconcile." t-shirts. As part of our commitment to truth and reconciliation, BFO created a t-shirt fundraiser. The proceeds from the sale of these orange shirts will be donated to Water First.

The store will remain open until July 26th. Once the webstore closes, all orders will be compiled, and production will begin. Product delivery times can take 4 - 6 weeks.
