Supporting Local Farmers and Breweries – Lately, grocery stores have been a growing concern for the spreading of germs, availability of certain items and the impact it is having on household finances. Across York Region, many local farms have made it possible to easily access local, farm-fresh foods, all while practicing social distancing during this pandemic.

Here are some places you can order and pick up farm-fresh foods from and support your local farmer.

Beretta Farms, 4400 15th Sideroad, King – 416-674-5609
Beretta is offering To-Go Meals. Place your order online by 12pm for delivery within 48 hrs between Monday and Friday. All items are fully cooked, by may require some reheating. Meals can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Brooks Farms, 122 Ashworth Rd., Mount Albert – 905-473-3246
