Making Your Orders:
Orders must be received by telephone or fax by noon on Mondays or Thursdays so we can efficiently harvest, clean, chill, and pack in preparation for deliveries the next day. (This early notification is particularly important for items we pick-to-order.) Alternatively, you can enjoy the convenience of a Weekly Standing Order.
For your convenience our full line is also distributed (at the same prices) by Hilite Fine Foods (416 503-0499). (Selected items are distributed by A.J. Lanzarotta.) A one-to-two week shelf-life is the norm so you can feel comfortable ordering a little extra! If you happen to run out, we can often send more to your door by overnight courier (again, if you call by noon).
Receiving Your Orders:
We drive our own refrigerated van to Toronto on Tuesdays and Fridays; and use Purolator Courier or Erb Transport outside the city. (When you order root vegetables through Hilite Fine Foods or A.J. Lanzarotta many items are available every day.) We try to get food to your kitchen about the same time each week.
Why We Need to be Different:
We began supplying critically acclaimed restaurants and hotels with specialty vegetables in 1988 from our Cookstown garden (one hour north of Toronto). Our select chefs continue to support the fine quality and many choices which come from home-garden cool-climate techniques. To more reliably meet hospitality demands, we have steadily grown from a 2 acre family garden -- to over 60 acres with year-round greenhouses and winter root-cellars managed by a dedicated team of 8 full-time year-round employees.
