For Your Springtime Table
Farm Boy™ Lemon Pepper Flattened Chicken
Easy to prepare and even easier to cook! Our Flattened Chickens are prepped by our Butchers by removing the breast and back bones and flavouring them with a deliciously seasoned marinade. The result ins a tender protein that’s moist and succulent every single time. Our Lemon Pepper Flattened Chicken is a surprisingly easy dinner idea. Simply roast in the oven and serve with your favourite salad for something light yet filling. (Our Chef-Prepped Salads are always made fresh with high-quality ingredients and come in a wide variety.)
Farm Boy™ Lemon Garlic Hummus
Dip, dip, hooray! Ideal for a snack or as part of lunch, our Lemon Garlic Hummus is packed with protein and flavour. Made with plump chickpeas, nutty tahini, aromatic garlic, and lemon, it’s a crowd-pleasing dip that also works well as a spread for sandwiches. If you’d like to play chef with your hummus, you can also try thinning it with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a dollop of Farm Boy™ Dijon Mustard, and enough water until it’s a pourable consistency. Voila! You now have an easy, three-ingredient hummus-inspired salad dressing.
Farm Boy™ Lemon Garlic Dressing
If playing chef isn’t your thing—but you still appreciate a quality dressing—look no further than our Lemon Garlic Dressing. This vegan delight is made right here in Ontario with real, simple ingredients like sunflower oil, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and spices. It’s been a fan favourite of Farm Boy customers for years thanks to its simple, bright flavour with just the right amount of citrusy punch. It also works great as a marinade for poultry and fish!

At Farm Boy, you can feel good about that cake and share it with everyone at the table when it’s our Vegan Lemon Blueberry Loaf Cake. Studded throughout with wild blueberries and iced with a decadent vanilla frosting, it’s a delectable way to finish a meal. Keep the plant-based goodness going and double up on that blueberry lemon flavour with our Oat-Rageous Blueberry Lemonade Frozen Dairy-Free Dessert.
