Tasting Farm Boy’s Best: Local Partnerships and Flavours Worth Sharing When we visited Toronto’s very first Farm Boy, which opened on Browns Line in Etobicoke in March 2018, we were immediately taken by the most gorgeous, colourful fruits and vegetables we had ever seen. Seeing these strawberries took me right back to that visit—so fresh and bright, they immediately catch your eye. We’re big citrus fans, and a photo we shared of their incredible oranges still gets people emailing us almost a decade later asking where we found them.

These strawberries remind me why we fell in love with Farm Boy years ago... the fruit bursts with colour and freshness. So much of what you see comes from Ontario farms, and during peak season, most of it is grown right here in Canada...

Little Pink Brick House: Over 70 Artisans and Vendor Opportunities When Little Pink Brick House opened its doors in March of 2023, we loved it right away. It’s one of those shops that instantly lifts your mood. Tucked in the heart of Etobicoke (just a couple of blocks from Tom's Dairy Freeze) it felt like stepping into a smaller, year-round version of the One of a Kind show. Every corner of the shop is filled with pieces from makers across Canada—art, jewellery, skincare, home décor, clothing, the most delicious-smelling soaps.

We fell in love with @littlepinkbrickhouse the first time we walked in. Art, jewellery, soaps, skincare, home décor and more in a marketplace of 70+ local artisans. Now, they’re looking for a few new vendors as their busiest season approaches...

Costco’s New Newmarket Location Opens Today with Sushi Bar and Opening Week Specials Costco’s new warehouse in Newmarket opens today at 107 Harry Walker Parkway South, and one of the first things members will notice is the fresh sushi bar — only the third of its kind in Canada. Opening week also comes with some big deals, like $400 off a LG 86-inch 4K TV and $35 off AAA whole beef tenderloin. Like other Ontario warehouses, this location also sells beer, wine, champagne and ready-to-drink beverages.

Costco just opened a brand-new warehouse on Harry Walker Parkway in Newmarket. It’s massive, has a sushi bar (only the 3rd in Canada), giant scary Frankensteins, and lots of big opening week deals. We love a new Costco!

% Arabica Now Open at Sherway Gardens Back in January 2023, we first learned about % Arabica when we walked into Yorkdale Shopping Centre and saw a massive lineup. Close to 500 people were patiently waiting for coffee from the brand’s very first Canadian location. We didn’t get in line that day, but we were curious. The Kyoto-based coffee shop had a reputation for precision, design, and quality, and clearly, Toronto was ready for it.

We first spotted % Arabica back in January of 2023 at Yorkdale, with a line of 500+ coffee fans. Now it’s at Sherway Gardens, across from Canada Goose and Tesla, bringing Kyoto’s precision coffee to the west end. Story link in bio ↑
