The hazy days of summer can mess up our priorities a bit: getting into
a routine of walking home to a soundtrack of birds chirping, waking
late and realizing you have only the dregs of some take out in your
fridge can make you realize “Shit. My body hates me”. If you wish you
could have a fully stocked kitchen of healthy produce but
just don’t have the time to reach a farmers market, Fresh City Farms can help.

Fresh City Farms is like an online farmers market that lets you order
a fresh box of produce right to your door. It’s like a subscription –
you can sign up to get a wooden wine box full of fruit and veggies
every week for 16 weeks, including heirloom varieties with a few
imported treats for kicks, free product samples, and a freshness
guarantee. And you can feel good about the fact that you’re doing more
than just treating your bod right. You’re also supporting local urban
farmers, reducing your carbon footprint, and being a part of a
community – urban farming brings together farmers, volunteers, and
consumers. Fresh City farms is cool because it’s like a co-op that
urges it’s farmers to make farming visible for a change, by growing
crops in the GTA in back and front yards.

A regular box will feed two people, and costs $30.63 per week. It
contains 2 lbs of fingerling potatoes, 2 tomatoes, 1 head of lettuce,
1 cucumber, 1 lbs of red beets, 2 zucchini, 1 celery, ½ lbs of green
beans. But, the magic of the produce box is that it changes based on
the season, so you never know exactly what you’re going to get, but
you’ll know that it’s going to be super fresh, delicious, and
convenient, whether you’re a full time workin’ woman, or a full time
party animal.
