Full company description
At Farm Boy, it’s all about the food. We believe great food starts close to home—with trusted growers, simple ingredients, and a passion for freshness that’s felt in every aisle. Since opening our first 300-square-foot produce shop in Cornwall, Ontario in 1981, we’ve stayed true to our roots: offering good food from good neighbours with “A Farm Boy Fresh Twist”. That means getting closer to the farm through hand-selecting produce daily and partnering with local vendors across Ontario. It means curating the products we think you’ll love—everything from fan-favourite dips and made-from-scratch baked goods, to ready-to-enjoy chef-prepared meals made in the Farm Boy Kitchen. Our ever-growing Private Label line reflects our commitment to quality, flavour, and innovation—all with real ingredients and bold tastes. Shopping at Farm Boy isn’t just an errand—it’s a feel-good, fresh-market experience. Our stores are clean, vibrant, and welcoming, with Team Members who are always ready to lend a hand (and never a self-checkout in sight). Whether you're shopping for everyday essentials or something new and exciting, we're here to make your visit easy, inspiring, and full of great finds. In every Farm Boy store, you’ll discover: • Farm-fresh produce—longer-lasting and delivered daily. • Curated, exclusive Private Label products you won’t find anywhere else. • Locally sourced foods from Ontario farmers, makers, and artisans. • A warm, helpful atmosphere that feels like shopping with friends. • Hundreds of options for every lifestyle—from vegan to gluten-free to organic. • And so much more! With 53 locations (and counting) across Ontario, we’re proud to grow alongside the communities we serve. But no matter how big we get, our mission stays the same: deliver exceptional food with a personal touch. Come in and experience “A Farm Boy Fresh Twist” for yourself.
