Easter Sunday is just over a week away, and the Rowe Farms team is busy preparing all of your holiday orders. We’re also looking forward to some delicious local food and quality time with our own families over the holiday weekend. We hope that whatever your plans are, you get to enjoy the same!

As you plan your Easter dinner, here are a few ideas to get you started. If you’re hosting Easter brunch instead of an evening meal, consider grabbing some farm-fresh eggs, peameal bacon, classic pork bacon and other family favourites. We’ve got plenty of delicious breakfast options to choose from in store and online! Now back to dinner—if you’d like personalized recommendations or help placing your holiday pre-order, please contact us—we’d be glad to help.

Here’s something we know about our customers: they want to buy delicious, high quality, regenerative, local food for their families AND they want to save money on their weekly grocery bill. That’s a pretty tall order—but it’s not impossible. In fact, we’ve been working hard to make this a reality for our customers and the communities we’re a part of.

March is here and the Easter Bunny is on its way! This holiday weekend is special to a lot of families, and we’re looking forward to a wonderful Easter weekend with our loved ones. Whether you gather with family, attend church services, participate in a community Easter egg hunt or all of the above, we hope you have traditions of your own to look forward to!

Bread is awesome, but all bread is not equal—that’s why we sought out the best products in town to offer our customers. Blackbird Baking Co. has a cult following in Toronto, and with good reason. They make incredible baguettes, sourdough, focaccia, sandwich loaves and more.

If you look at the calendar, spring is still a little over three weeks away—but that hasn’t stopped us from dreaming about it. We’re thinking about blue skies, warmer weather, longer days with plenty of sunlight! Plus, plenty of exciting work happening on the farm (more on that another day).

Whether you’re planning a family brunch, lunch with the grandparents or a big family dinner, Rowe Farms has everything you need for the Family Day weekend. Here are a few reminders to help you plan, shop and save on your favourite local products.

Football may be the main attraction, but food definitely plays a role in your Super Bowl Sunday. Here are some awesome game day snack and meal ideas from Rowe Farms. No matter who you’re cheering on (Go 49ers!) we hope you have a great weekend!

Rowe Farms is proud to introduce some incredible, homestyle pasta sauces made by Olliffe (part of the Harvest to Gather family of companies led by the Van Groningen brothers). These sauces are available in store and online, and we know you’re going to love them!

January feels like the perfect time of year to reflect on the importance of the choices we make every day, especially regarding the food we consume and the communities we support. At Rowe Farms, we are more committed than ever to nurturing a food system that is not just local and resilient, but one that also secures a prosperous future for our children and grandchildren.

Whether you’re cooking dinner for yourself, for two or for a large family, it’s easy to hit a wall and run out of ideas. Sure, you’ve got your tried and trusted favourite recipes, but what if you feel like something new once in a while? Plus, there are those evenings when life is so busy, you can’t begin to decide what to cook, not to mention special occasions that require a bit of planning. Where do you start?!

Happy New Year from all of us at Rowe Farms! We hope you had a joyful, restful holiday season and are walking into 2024 with optimism and enthusiasm. We know a lot of customers are looking for nutritious meal options after an indulgent holiday season—food that will help them feel healthy and energetic as they tackle a new year.

It’s hard to believe that we’re just days away from Christmas and soon after that, we’ll be embarking on a new year. We’d like to take this opportunity to reflect and share our heartfelt gratitude (plus a few important reminders related to your holiday orders).
