Never heard of them?  Fiesta Farms is an independently owned and run grocery store.  They started in 1989, when the owner saw a need in the community for a good local shop for Italian and Portuguese groceries.  Since then, they’ve expanded to include a wide range of organic products, and have teamed with Local Food Plus, which brings together local businesses and local farmers so that the consumer can truly buy locally.

What I love about them, aside from getting to support local businesses, is that they have such a wide range of international food items.  I usually go in there trying to decide what to make for dinner, and come out with a bag full of stuff and some delicious ideas.  Seriously, that’s my idea of foodie heaven.

They also have an interesting selection of organic juices and energy drinks.  I noticed a chai flavoured soy protein beverage while in the store last week; a quick google search turns up this, which I believe is the same one.  Anyone ever tried it? I’m thinking I might like it as a snack in between clients some time.

I just wrote a guest blogger post for foodtv.ca about Fiesta as well, if you’d like to read it.
