Farm Boy — Restaurant in Ottawa

When it comes to our local grocery store, it’s like stepping onto a culinary thrill ride. Buckle up, folks, because this place is a huge hit or miss. Let’s explore the twists and turns of our shopping escapades.

🌟 Staff Vibes: The general staff? Oh, they’re as friendly as a golden retriever with a wagging tail. Always ready with a smile, they’ll help you find that elusive jar of organic almond butter or guide you to the gluten-free aisle. But here’s the juicy tidbit: lean in closer, and you might catch snippets of their hushed conversations. Apparently, upper management is about as popular as a soggy cereal box. They’ve got dreams of greener pastures – perhaps a unicorn farm or a beachside smoothie shack. 🦄🏖️

🍎 Produce Drama: Now, let’s talk about the produce section. Picture this: two years ago, it was like strolling through a garden of Eden – plump tomatoes, radiant bell peppers, and avocados that whispered sweet nothings. Fast forward to today, and it’s more like a post-apocalyptic veggie wasteland. The apples have commitment issues (they bruise at the slightest glance), and the lettuce? Well, it’s doing its best impression of a wilted Shakespearean actor. 🍅🥬

🛒 Food Selection: Fear not, hungry shoppers! Amidst the chaos, there’s a silver lining – a pretty decent selection of foods. From artisanal cheeses to exotic spices, they’ve got you covered. Feeling adventurous? Grab that dragon fruit – it’s like a tropical vacation for your taste buds. And don’t even get me started on the international aisle – it’s a passport-free trip around the world. 🌎🧀

💰 Price Tag Tango: Now, about the prices. They’re like that quirky dance move you bust out at weddings – okay, but not exactly show-stopping. You won’t break the bank, but you won’t be sipping champagne either. It’s a sensible “okay” for what you get. But here’s the secret handshake: shop around for sales. Those neon “Specials” signs are your treasure map. Follow them, and you’ll score deals that’ll make your wallet do a little happy jig. 💃💸

Conclusion: So, dear fellow shoppers, embrace the unpredictability. This grocery store is like a mystery novel – you never know if you’ll find a hidden gem or a slightly squishy avocado. But hey, life’s too short for bland shopping trips. Buckle up, ride the waves, and remember: every grocery run is an adventure waiting to...

This is a great store it has a: deli, fish, meat and bakery counter. My favourite ham is the Mclean's Seasoned Black Forest styled ham. I convinced my girlfriend to try it and her guests liked it also. The Rosemary ham, Chorizo and Angus Roast beef are good as well. All the deli meat on the black plates are nitrate and preservative free. We often pick up a shrimp ring and smoked salmon. The Tandoori flattened chicken (back bone removed) is quick and easy to prepare. And there are five (5) other flavours that we have yet to try. This Farm Boy carries Viking sweet and sour rye bread (from Toronto) which makes a nice compliment to the deli meat (as do the Rideau Bakery rye and pumpernickel breads). I use Rideau Bakery egg bread for grilled cheese which takes grilled cheese to a whole new level. The Pastel de Nata (a Portuguese egg custard pastry) is excellent with your morning coffee or afternoon tea. There are a few different Brands of Kombucha (fermented flavoured green or black tea) to choose from. I have often been asked, (outside) if I need help carrying my groceries to the car. Needless to say, I am...
