How shopping at this fresh Canadian market is more than a regular trip to the grocery store 

Making a list, grabbing those reusable bags, and heading out to shop for the weekly grocery essentials… It’s one of those errands that just won’t quit. And sometimes, grocery shopping in Toronto can dip into the boring category too, with lacklustre product offerings and a dull shopping experience.

Luckily, that’s never been the case with Farm Boy, and with “A Farm Boy Fresh Twist,” they’re reaffirming their commitment to an elevated experience when it comes to shopping for all your favourite goodies.

Intrigued? Here’s how shopping with Farm Boy is more than your regular old grocery store shop.

All the local, Canadian products

O’yes, Canadiana incoming!

Proudly Canadian-owned and operated, Farm Boy boasts a seriously huge range of Canadian products, from right here in Ontario to treats from across the nation.

Needing to check it out for myself, I took a trip to my local Farm Boy and was greeted with signs indicating which products are Canadian, advertising their specific origin or location. This made it much easier to shop Canadian without having to check the fine print on the labels!

Fun fact: Did you know that approximately 80 per cent of Farm Boy products are either products of Canada or prepared here? When it comes to the meat and dairy aisles, you can expect up to 90 per cent locally-sourced products.

From amber-grade maple syrup to double and single-cream bries made with 100 per cent Canadian milk, it’s Canadian pride every single day at Farm Boy. Check out the produce aisle for Canadian-grown potatoes, onions, apples, and more!

Exclusive private label products

Dedicated to consistent innovation, Farm Boy is always pushing the envelope forward with over 2,000 private label products exclusive to each location, plus over 240 new products per year.

One of the most exciting parts of a Farm Boy run (besides visiting Mikey the swinging monkey) is checking out their new products; you never know what their in-house chefs and product developers are going to whip up next.

From convenient and delish frozen meals like Farm Boy Flatbreads, Dumplings, or Stone-Baked Pizzas to the snack aisle for Farm Boy Cookie Chips (specifically the coconut ones!), Maple Creme Cookies, or even Farm Boy Kombucha, you can shop a range of unique products that deliver on quality and taste.

Excellent value

The Farm Boy Fresh Twist experience is also making a commitment to give their customers excellent value on their whole Farm Boy shop!

It’s not just about the price, it’s about offering a hand-picked assortment of high-quality products at prices that don’t break the bank. Farm Boy works closely with their suppliers to pass on savings to customers and offers weekly specials at the right time for the products you want, making sure you leave the store feeling like a neighbour.

The human experience, the Farm Boy way

At Farm Boy, you always interact face-to-face — there are no self-checkouts! Friendly, knowledgeable staff are always available to help and cash out your purchases, and with a smile, too. Minor details like these make a Farm Boy visit stand out from the rest.

Now more than ever, shopping and supporting Canadian is a priority for many, and a trip to Farm Boy is the perfect way to do so. From local products, exclusive private-label products, and friendly staff, Farm Boy is changing up the grocery experience, and the only way to check it out is to visit your local store!
