Live, Local, Farm, Fresh
At Farm Boy, we boast a large variety of farm-fresh produce all year long. These fruits and veggies come to our stores daily from farmers who take pride in growing delicious, long-lasting crops. You’ll find beautiful broccoli, sweet bell peppers, hearty potatoes, crisp apples, juicy berries, and more as you explore our Produce Department. Our buyers are out each morning at the markets to ensure that we get the best around with an emphasis on locally grown, seasonal produce.
Why buy locally-grown produce?
When you purchase and eat local, you are not only receiving the freshest foods at their peak flavour, but you are also supporting the farmers who work hard to provide food to Ontarians throughout the year. As a result of our unique climate, Canadian farmers have developed some of the most efficient and advanced greenhouse techniques, allowing us to enjoy anything from wholesome microgreens to juicy tomatoes—even during the winter!
