Mocktails
for Spring
After a cold winter filled with hearty meals, rich snacks, and hot drinks, we often crave something light to brighten up our palates.
As the spring season begins to bloom, it brings warmer weather, colourful growth, fresh local produce, and cravings for vibrant flavours.
Crisp, fruity salads, grilled proteins, and refreshing sippers make their return just in time for spring.
Every Farm Boy is abundant with the highest quality fruits and veggies, along with an expertly curated selection of products that will surprise and delight your taste buds.
Come on in to our stores and discover a fun, inspiring experience where you’ll find just what you need—and plenty more we think you’ll love!

Recipe Idea:
Spicy Eggplant Pasta (Pasta alla Norma)
A simple but excellent summer dish, making the best use out of seasonal eggplant.
Penne rigate pasta is traditional for this recipe, but use whatever pasta shape you have on hand.
Instead of Farm Boy™ Tomato Basil Sauce, you can use Farm Boy™ Passata or crushed Farm Boy™ Whole or San Marzano Tomatoes.

Vendor Profile
Equifruit
Montreal, QC
At Farm Boy, we’re passionate about fresh produce. Every day, our expert buyers hand-select fruits and veggies from the market, ensuring only the best make it to our shelves. We want you to enjoy produce that not only tastes great but lasts longer, so it’s ready when you are.
A big part of the Farm Boy Way is all about delivering exceptional value.
We do this through high-quality offerings, a thoughtfully curated assortment, and a commitment to supporting our communities and the people we source from. Farm Boy is proud to uplift local and Canadian growers whenever we can. In the cases that we bring in imported selections, we make sure they’re truly seasonal standouts.
Take Equifruit for example—the subject of this vendor spotlight. They’re a women-owned, Canadian, certified B Corp that ethically sources our organic bananas under Fairtrade International standards. These bananas aren’t just delicious—they’re part of a movement toward fairer working conditions and greater economic equality.
That’s good food from good neighbours!
