Fresh From The Farm (Schmucker's)

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.nnSince 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.nnThe 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!

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.nAll 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.nWe 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.

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.

Great local meats and produce. Wonderful, friendly service. A gem
