All About Pomegranates
One of the oldest fruits in our collective history, pomegranates are one of the most amazing sources of nutrition and flavour.
At Farm Boy, we’re committed to getting you closer to the farm by bringing you the highest-quality produce available, expertly hand-selected to be longer-lasting and flavourful.
While much of our produce is sourced locally, we look abroad to bring you the tastiest pomegranates. That’s because this fruit grows best in hot, dry climates, primarily in countries like India, Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey, as well as states like Arizona and California.

Drunken Goat
Imported from Spain, this semi-firm goat’s milk cheese is soaked in Doble Pasta wine, lending it a vibrant violet hue. It has a mild, creamy, and smooth flavour with a touch of fruitiness on the finish.
This stunning cheese is a must-have for charcuterie boards, where its flavour and appearance can be fully appreciated, but it also works well in pressed sandwiches or shaved over artisanal pizzas and salads.

What are Macarons?
Also known as French or Parisian macarons, these chewy, sweet, and delicately moist sandwich cookies are a true confectionery delight. Unlike macaroons, which share some ingredients, bakers make macarons from egg whites, almond flour, and sugar. Moreover, their bright colours and striking appearance feature perfectly round, smooth tops and slightly puffed “feet” at the base. Typically, chefs fill them with flavoured buttercreams, curds, ganaches, jellies, and more.
Quick Facts:
- Petits Macarons began in 2011, when Lori Limarilli left an I.T. career to fulfill a lifelong dream of opening her own bakery.
- Macarons are sandwich cookies made from egg whites, almond flour, and sugar.
- Pastry chefs typically fill macarons with flavoured buttercreams, curds, ganaches, jellies, and more.
- Petits Macarons partnered with Farm Boy in 2013—their macarons are now available at all Farm Boy locations.
- Petits Macarons launched an online retail shop in 2015 and expanded their storefront at 1758 Montreal Road in Ottawa, where they also sell other baked treats.
