They have everything from fresh pastry , different cuts of meat and a huge deli all serviced by great staff that know a lot about the products they are selling. Fresh Meat side had great value added already prepared things like stuffed meat loafs , rolled ribs and Stuffed flank steak. If anyone is looking for something different and wanted to be treated to great staff you must Check this place out. Im a meat guy but even their produce looked good! As far as COVID 19 goes, I felt safe in their store. They sanitize everything all the time and the lay out is good to social distance. Also found out they offer curve side pick up and delivery. This place is 10/10 and highly recommend going. I can honestly say it's one of the nicest independent grocery store I have ever been too !!

While I was in Kitchener I spotted a sign that read "Victoria Street Market" and something about…read moresausages... the building looked inviting. So I made a left and headed into the parking lot. Upon entering this little gem I observed a very clean and very well organized little shop. To begin the tour heading to the right hand side of the shop (which is about 5,000 sq feet I believe.) there was an area just dedicated to seafood with all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp, lobster, squid, salmon... you get the picture. The area had all kinds of seafood sauces and spices ... But HUH? I read something about sausages... so where are they? Ah as I got a little further into the store I saw an entire area with, beef, pork and chicken. As I looked over to the chilled glass display case, there were the sausages October fest, Hot Italian, Honey garlic, mild Italian, etc... On the left side of the shop I found a full deli counter filled with all kinds of cheeses and cold cuts. You may also order a sandwich of your choice and take it to go or eat it there. Each area has staff to assist you and all the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. The store is loaded with all sorts of exotic sauces, spices, European cookies and breads. As for me I ordered a mixture of cold cuts, October fest sausages, some steaks and some chicken. The prices were great and I loved that the store was VERY clean. Will I be back again? OH YEAH!!!!..

Sometimes it depends on who makes the sandwich for you but usually the workers load the sandwich pretty well with your choice of toppings.

I was heading to the VIP theatre in Kitchener when I saw Farm Boy. I got more excited visiting this store that I ended up deferring my movie. I had heard good things about Farm Boy. The closest one to my home is in Pickering. I have yet to go. This Farm Boy shares the same parking lot as Canadian Tire. As a result, there is tons of parking. It felt like an epiphany when I walked through the automatic doors. Lots of leafy greens on my left. I was so happy! Farm Boy reminds me of visiting Trader Joe's in the States. You can basically find a variety of yummy food items no matter what dietary restrictions that you may have. I found bags of Vegan Rob's snacks. I am borderline lactose-intolerant. Three bags were going for $4. Naturally, I bought three. The dairy-free cheddar puffs are amazing! And then, I got all happy at the bakery. My beloved Portuguese egg tarts were here! You can get six for $7.99. Done! They are even better the day after. So yummy! I also bought some dairy-free hot chocolate. It's perfect for this time of year. I am also a hot chocolate addict. I went to cash out. A cheerful woman asked if I needed a bag. At first, I said no. I then remembered that I have a bag clipped to my purse. It's a penguin that you unstuff to get your shopping bag. She thought that it was so cute. She bagged my goodies, which was wonderful. Prices are pretty good. I liked the variety of items. They all looked good and fresh. Whenever I am in the area, I'd definitely coming over here. (20)

It was made in a wood oven and the crust was great. Best of all, it was only $8.99. Loved it. I didn't take a look around elsewhere, but I will be sure to check out the location closer to home.

There is a parking lot but if you are buying a lot of pumpkins I'd recommend parking as close to the right side upon entering as possible so it won't be such a long haul for your cart that you fill up. The place is really large. If you have kids there is a corn maze, rope maze as well as a swings, slides, hay tower/pyramid and other park related activities like a pumpkin slingshot. The pumpkins are laid out by type, and sometimes by size and there are a very wide variety of shapes, sizes and prices. They have some pumpkins that are so large they are on skids and probably require a forklift to put into a flat bed. They have metal carts or you can bring your own wagon. Basically just pick out everything you want and then take it into the building where the check out is. They take debit I'm not sure about credit card. This place is a wonderful place to spend a few hours. Apparently they also have a booth at the St. Jacob's farmer's market too.

We had to select the varieties sight unseen. Then the staff member bagged them for us. Even at Food Basics or Loblaws, I get to choose my own apples. - we couldn't browse the jams, ciders, honey and other products available. Everything is inside the store but us! We weren't allowed in. I realize there's a pandemic on but other farms and markets allow you to see what you are buying up close. - the prices aren't great - there were no goats. We were told this is the first year that's the case; no explanation was given. They had a few chickens. When we asked where they were the staff member pointed in a vague direction. Please reread my first comment about the lack of friendliness! Positives: - the apples were fresh and tasted good - there's adequate parking.
