Tips:
- There is both surface and underground parking.
- Look for 50% off bread.
- The egg and butter section has fake roosters making crowing sounds.
I noticed this Farm Boy steps away from Nani's Gelato. Markham doesn't have a Farm Boy. Whenever I see a location, I like to check it out.
I was parked in front of the store. I walked over. Alternatively, there is underground parking with elevators to get you between floors.
I came here to browse. I ended up getting a couple of items.
The fruits and veggies section greeted me. There were so many watermelon shapes and sizes. I loved it.
The bakery section is my weakness at any Farm Boy. I love the Portuguese custard tarts and Beavertails cookies.
Each bakery section at Farm Boy has markdowns on bread. It was tough figuring out what I wanted. In honour of my late friend who recently passed away and was my officemate working at Big Blue in Rochester, MN, I got a mini sourdough boule.
We did a weekend trip to San Francisco when we lived in Rochester. I brought back Ghirardelli chocolate. She brought back a loaf of sourdough bread.
The hot foods section was impressive. I saw smash burgers, Halifax doners, hot dogs, and other grab-and-go packaged handhelds. They were warm. You can also get hot foods by weight, such as butter chicken and roasted garlic linguini.
The fridge section with beverages was also amazing. I ended up getting Farm Boy's brand of pineapple-flavoured sparkling water. It was nicely chilled, fizzy, and had zero sugar.
I headed to the checkout and got a nice woman. What's weird to me about the payment machine is that it's so far away from the ledge to put your wallet or phone down.
I thanked this woman for cashing me out. I took my two items and headed to my car. I put them in my insulated bag and drove home.
It was great shopping at this Farm Boy. I'd return when I'm in Port Credit.
