If you’re vegetarian or vegan, you’ll find many tasty, healthy options at our store.
While many Fresh From The Farm’s customers love our grass-fed, locally raised, chemical-free meats, there’s plenty to love for non-meat eaters as well. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, or aspiring to be either, you’ll find many tasty, healthy options at our store, most often locally grown and produced without chemicals or preservatives.
When you’re pushed for time and energy, why not pick up one of our delicious ready-to-eat meals or snacks? They’re cooked in our own kitchen with homemade care and only the best organic or chemical-free vegetables and legumes, grown locally whenever possible.
Try our meatless lasagna! It’s filled with tasty vegetables — broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, red peppers and more — and you can even get it in a gluten-free version.
Our vegetarian chili is filled with good stuff, too: chickpeas and black beans, peppers, carrots, zucchini, sweet and green onion, with just the right spicing to warm up a cold night.
We even have a vegetarian shepherd’s pie, stuffed with black beans and lentils, vegetables, and a topping of cheesy potatoes. Cook from frozen or let it defrost in the fridge during the day and pop it into the oven for a homey meal that’s good for you, too.
Want something a little different? Our daal masoor is a flavourful lentil soup with tikka masala, garam masala and cilantro flavours. Or pick up a pack of vegetarian empanadas, little cornmeal turnovers perfect for those after-school munchies or a late-evening snack with a glass of wine.
Hummus is a vegetarian mainstay that you can use in all sorts of ways. You’ll love our homemade version in regular or red pepper flavours.
When you have time to cook, you’ll find endless possibilities at Fresh From The Farm, with a wide range of organic flours, beans, grains (from organic quinoa to amaranth!), nuts, oils, vinegars, pastas, breads and tortillas, organic spices and condiments, and our homemade vegetable stock, not to mention all kinds of produce in season and fruit preserved the old-fashioned way in mason jars by our Old Order Mennonite producer — a beautiful reminder of summer’s bounty.
For those who avoid dairy, we have many delicious alternatives, like Almond & Cashew yogurt in plain or strawberry flavours, and Red Rind or Smoky Artichoke “Nuts for Cheese” vegan cheese!
There are interesting prepared foods on our shelves, too. Try the range of vegetarian curries from Tiffinday, in flavours like chickpea, kidney bean rhubarb, lentil spinach and mixed vegetable. For snacking, there are bureks (little pastries stuffed with cheese or spinach). For a little something sweet, try the various flavours of the Vegan M-Bar, or Veggie-Go in assorted vegetable and fruit flavours — among the many dried fruit bars available.
Drop by and spend a little time exploring the amazing selection of flavourful vegetarian alternatives at Schmucker’s Fresh From The Farm!
