| - Having moved to TO from Yellowknife, where the grocery pickins' were slim slim slim, Fiesta Farms felt a little like Nirvana. Okay, so most TO grocery stores felt like Nirvana compared to YK, but I'm happy that I live near this place. Walking in for the first time, I knew they were different. It's not the largest, nor the swankest grocery store I've been to, but there are options galore, and the freshness of the produce area impressed me. There's a good number of alternative selections and farms to choose from, and although I'm not a big fan of pricier organic options, there are other choices available if I'm not feeling too snooty.
All said, I wonder about the prices, and I imagine I'm subsidizing all these options somehow, somewhere within the cracks of my grocery bill. Coming down from the North, though, where everything is at more of a premium, may leave me blinder than most as far as cost-consciousness goes.
But it's great little grocery store, and is usually my first choice between the also nearby Sobey's and Loblaws.
