View fullsize

After months of patiently waiting, Farm Boy is now open in the podium of Tribeca (179 Metcalfe).

This announcement has been well received from the public who either work or live near the establishment, as it was once a Sobeys but was bought out by Farm Boy. During this closure, patrons had to go to the nearby Farm Boy at Rideau Centre or to the Independent on Bank St. 

Farm Boy offers a vast selection of fruits and veggies, continuously updating their produce section with what is in season. Check out their artisanal cheese and a fresh dairy section that will have everything you need and more for making the perfect charcuterie board. Their butcher quality meats will showcase their best cuts for beef, pork and chicken. Farm Boy also has an amazing selection of vegetarian, vegan, and plant-based foods, catering to everyone’s dietary needs. If you are looking to satisfy your sweet or savour tooth, check out the in-store made treats from the Farm Boy Kitchen. This location also includes beer and wine!

This will really open the door for those looking for healthier take out options! Another great feature that store has is the hot bars, salad bars, gourmet pizza and sushi section. This is ideal for those looking to grab lunch or a quick snack while on the go.
