We opened our first location in downtown Toronto in 2005 with the goal of offering customers food that is both delicious and good for you. By offering a healthier and more wholesome alternative to the usual fast food offerings, our goal has always been to make you feel good about what you put in your body without having to sacrifice flavour. Whether it be our famous sandwiches, salads or quinoa bowls, we prepare and make most things from scratch, and have partnered with farmers and purveyors who care about their products as much as we do.
Here are some of our favourite purveyors and seasonal local farmers:
artisanal bread (not including the gluten-free or whole wheat wraps)
(St-Lawrence Market)
charcuterie and cheeses
(Niagara-on-the-lake, On)
bell peppers
(Mt Albert, On)
kale
(Caledon, On)
broccoli
(Leamington, On)
cherry tomatoes, cucumbers
(Woodbridge, On)
white and portobello mushrooms
(Bradford, On)
spanish onions
(Brampton, On)
apples
At Fast Fresh Foods we are committed to being an environmental leader of our industry.
Some of the green measures we are undertaking to meet this mission include:
All of our packaging is 100% biodegradable or recyclable, including our plastic bags
We make a monthly donation to the Nature Conservancy of Canada so we can help do our part in keeping this country beautiful
We use a biobased, plant-derived glass cleaner so that we can both help the environment and avoid any contamination of the food
We strive to source our supplies locally and to use organics whenever possible in order to minimize our carbon footprint
All of our internal waste is separated into organics, recyclables and regular garbage for efficient disposal
All of the light bulbs used in our stores are energy efficient
All of our napkins are from recycled products
All our thermostats are programmed to minimize energy waste, particularly during non-business hours
