PIGS can't fly, but that hasn't stopped Danny's Whole Hog Barbeque & Smokehouse from spreading its wings.
The Stony Mountain-area company, founded a decade ago by former Hutterite Danny Kleinsasser, has struck a deal with one of the province's largest food distributors — Sysco Canada — to supply frozen pulled-pork and pulled-turkey products to hotels, institutions and other food-service operators throughout Manitoba and northwestern Ontario.
And within the next couple of weeks, Kleinsasser also hopes to have consumer-friendly versions of the products available in up to 38 retail stores in the province.
