The Brandt Family Legacy
Celebrating over 65 years of tradition, Brandt Meats traces its roots back to 1958, when Gerhard and Ida Brandt opened their deli shop on Dundas Street West in Toronto, Ontario. Fulfilling a longtime dream, they handcrafted traditional European-style sausages and deli meats that offered customers an authentic taste of the Brandt family’s humble beginnings. Today, the second and third generations proudly carry on that legacy, where quality remains the cornerstone. They create their artisan selections using original recipes and the finest ingredients, enhanced with modern techniques and innovation.
With a state-of-the-art facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Brandt Meats brings its beloved charcuterie to families across Canada. Their team is dedicated to preserving, producing, and sharing time-honoured favourites. Each creation is prepared with the finest ingredients and cherished family recipes. From naturally smoked classics to traditionally cured selections, every bite reflects their commitment to authenticity and uncompromising quality. Brandt Meats delivers exceptional flavour and trusted craftsmanship—perfect for any occasion, from quick snacks to cozy gatherings.
Supporting local businesses is essential because it allows family-owned companies like Brandt to grow and thrive for future generations. With Farm Boy’s support, we are able to continue our passion of crafting authentic, high-quality deli meats — a tradition we’ve been proud to carry on for nearly 70 years.
