Loblaws
585 Queen St WFiesta Farms is Toronto’s largest independently owned grocery store and garden centre. What does that mean? It means we only have one store. But it’s a big one. “Largest” means we carry the range of products you’d expect from a chain. “Independent” means we can choose what those products are-who makes them, where they come from, what’s in them, their place in the local economy. Stuff like that.
