Toronto can add one more living wage employer to the list: Fresh From the Farm meat and produce market. They carry local farm-fresh meats, raised without hormones or drugs from Ontario Amish and Mennonite farmers. They also carry eggs, dairy, produce and more.

Honestly if I wasn't loaded down with a camera bag, I would have walked out with two armfuls of groceries. Everything looked amazing. It's the kind of place you boast about having in your neighbourhood. And if you live in Toronto's east end, you can now boast that you shop at a local market that pays a living wage. 

Fresh from the Farm is Located at 350 Donlands Avenue, one block south of O'Connor, and is open Monday-Friday 10 am – 7 pm;  Saturday 9 am – 5 pm.
