Fresh City is an award-winning urban farm and omni-channel retailer. Founder-led, we’re on a mission to provide a better life through food. More than one decade after we first began, our belief in that is even stronger. Every day, we deliver organic produce, chef-inspired and made from scratch prepared foods, bespoke meats and more to thousands of Greater Toronto Area families.

In 2018, Fresh City acquired Mabel’s Bakery, a popular bakery in Toronto producing artisan breads and pastries, and shortly after acquired The Healthy Butcher, a pioneer in organic and 100% Grass Fed beef, in 2019. In 2022, subscription-based organic produce and grocery delivery company Mama Earth Organics was added to the lineup of brands making Fresh City the largest organic online retailer in Ontario.

Food is our passion. We proudly employ over 500 employees across our four brands including our farm, our two warehouses, our food production facilities, our offices and our retail locations.
