Fresh from the Farm
Buying from Whole Foods and other organic local grocers are becoming very popular amongst Torontonians, so much so that my partner and I thought – “why not just buy it from the farmers”?
So, there we went, shopping over at Fresh From the Farm located at 350 Donlands Ave, north of the Danforth, ready to buy a big slab of bacon and a trolley full of eggs. As we arrived, we had lots of selection to choose from in such a small shop: meats, dairy, bakery and non-parishables. Although, there’s a wider selection and better guarantee of products if you call ahead. Their website has all of the items with prices listed as well as a nice FAQ for those who’re curious to know more about the animals that they’re eating and how they’re treated.
Cared for by a Schmucker family, their vision to bring Mennonite values and fresh produce to Toronto is a hit and a welcome change from big supermarket chains. Leaving happily with 2 dozen extra large eggs, a 2lb bacon slab and some Elk pepperettes for the walk home, I left looking forward to serving an all-day breakfast to my bebe and I.
