Outstanding quality food and fresh. I bought few days ago from them few products and I am really impressed about the QUALITY and FRESHNESS of their products. Without hesitation I would state that these people KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING and they are SHOWING RESPECT to their customers. Many THANKS,

They have pasture raised chicken and egg, and Non-GMO and Grass Fed beef! The pricing is also pretty good and fair!
They also have a variety of products with great quality.
The eggs taste amazing!

Love this store!! Best soup shank, bones for broth, quality grass-fed meat, organs, which is so rare to find such a variety of cuts that is grass-fed. Eggs are always super fresh. Home made meals and treats delicious. And then lavender hand cream, that I often buy for gifts too, it is really soothing, my favorite.

Since I am usually shopping here when visiting Toronto, it allows for a pre-order, so that items are packed and waiting for pickup and pay at the cashier. It is so convenient. This is still my local shop, even after I moved to another city ☺️

The person checking me out at the counter was quite literally answering her texts in between scanning my items… The other people in the back seemed helpful and kind.

The produce I got was not worth the price, the turkey packaging leaked all over my fridge and the apples were soft… The empanadas were okay. Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost this much or taste this way. Your money can be spent better elsewhere!

The best thing about moving into my neighbourhood was discovering Fresh From The Farm nearby. Their food quality is outstanding, and I feel good buying products from farm animals that are treated more humanely. Some products are surprisingly inexpensive, though I don't want to give away which ones, as I selfishly want them to still be on the shelves when I visit! Other prices reflect the fair wages and fair treatment that go into their products. And the staff are really sweet, though often very busy -I don't go there expecting to chat at length. Very glad they are now open till 6 pm some evenings so I can get there after work.

I’ve been a long time customer and Fresh From the Farm had been my favourite place to get premium, high-quality Mennonite meat. Never used to disappoint. But recently, something has changed with their food handling practices. I purchased hundreds of dollars of meat and I’m extremely frustrated to find the ground meats to be frozen spoiled. Packed just a month ago, defrosting some ground beef and pork and they are sour and rancid. I’m very disappointed about the standards of food handling and storage has dropped significantly. Such a waste of premium meat being left to spoil and then frozen for sale. Some people may be okay with eating spoiled meat and they don’t complain, but spoiled meat is unacceptable for me. I sincerely hope they fix this problem, but so far they have lost me as a customer.

I have been shopping in this store for 20 years every week and for every special family event. I see how Jaqui and Tim, the owners, taking their business. The quality of food they get from local farms is great. It's always fresh and must be refrigerated very fast after it was purchased. Jaqui always mention it to customers. I'm food quality scientist by university degree and I see all the time misunderstanding that this foods have no preservatives, never sprayed with any chemicals and must be refrigerated very quickly.
All my friends who shop in Fresh From The Farm are very grateful for my suggestion about this place. They are coming from all over GTA.
We have to support our local stores and our local farmers who supply us with good, natural foods. Thank you Jaqui for your hard work and dedication.

Friendly staff and healthier, more ethical animal products. The pasture raised eggs and chickens taste great. Can't go back to the factory farmed, unhealthy products at the regular store. You do pay more but it is worth it. Glad to support small farms.
