The finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture.
RFRK’s menus are always developed with healthy bodies and delicious taste in mind. We start by analyzing all ingredients to avoid nutrient-void fillers and artificial colours, flavours, and sweeteners. Even our everyday pantry is one to brag about with basics like sea salt, nutritional yeast, dehydrated carrots and maple syrup.
Once we’ve stacked our ingredient deck, we develop recipes with a goal of reducing total salt, sugar and saturated fat content per meal. By cooking in our own kitchen, we are in control of our recipes as well as the cooking methods used!
Did you know that in 2016, 52% of dollars spent on food served by Real Food for Real Kids was sourced from local and/or organic suppliers
We’re a small organic farm in the heart of the Niagara Region – located in rural Welland, bordering NiagaraFalls. Currently, we farm about 2 acres of land. The remainder of our property is home to deer, wild turkey and a range of other fauna and flora.
We grow a variety of certified organic vegetables, herbs and edible flowers, using outdoor hugelbeets (raised garden beds) and hoophouses. We believe in preserving biodiversity – which means we work in harmony with nature to produce beautiful, healthy food in a way that is safe for all species.
All of our seed is organic, non-genetically modified. And we never use chemical pesticides or fertilizers.To enrich our soil and plants, we use conservation methods like seed saving, cover crops and other sustainable farming practices. If you ever have any questions about how we grow, please ask us.
We also carry pre-packed herbs and spices as well as specialty teas

If we say a cut is Organic, it is legitimately Certified Organic, and not “like organic” as many places will say when trying to convince you that what they have is worth buying. Put it this way, if you want a decent tasting steak, you can go to many shops. If you want a great tasting steak that was ethically raised, and is healthy for you and the environment, you come to The Healthy Butcher.”
Our Farmers
No, we don’t own our own farm, nor do we want to. We source only from farmers who are passionate about producing the best meat. When we evaluate a farm to add to our offering, we leave no stone unturned. We never turn a blind eye. Starting at the soil, our farms use biodynamic principles – rotating crops and pasturing multiple species of animals – to keep our land healthy. Our animals eat what they were born to eat, not what our industrialized society has dictated they eat.
The breeds are carefully selected to match the terroir of the farm. Processing happens a minimal distance from the farm, and at abattoirs that are best designed to minimize stress. We select from the best, and that’s what makes us great.
What makes our meat so great
The Healthy Butcher’s meat is nothing short of legendary because it is nature’s expression of true gourmet. It’s not easy to always do the right thing, the right way, every time. But we’re passionate about our belief that ethically raised, healthy, delicious meat is possible and affordable.

The London Brewing Co-operative (LBC) is a micro-brewery located in London’s Old East Village at 521 Burbrook Pl., London, Ontario. The brewery is organized as a worker’s co-operative and, as a co-operative, we are all about our community and our community partners. We want to change the conversation that surrounds beer and the place of a brewery in a community. We aim to establish a different relationship with beer. We are a brewery that places quality over quantity. We are producing a pint best served over conversation. Our aim is to bring Londoners together and to help with making London a destination for food and drink tourists. We live where we brew. The members of the London Brewing Cooperative are not just brewers. Part of our ownership group also are owners of On The Move Organics and The Root Cellar Café. These two businesses reflect the spirit of the London Brewing Co-operative. Founded on the goal of bringing to market locally-grown organic produce On The Move Organics and The Root Cellar Café are key actors in promoting local farmers, organic produce, and food democracy. We are interested in building a web of local businesses that work with the community and promote worker-centric organizations.
We aim to help create local industry around brewing. The fertile soil and growing conditions of Southwestern Ontario can support a robust hop growing venture and we are already in discussions with an Ontario malter to brew with local, organic barley. We are also creating processes that reduce the waste around brewing and will ensure that we are an environmentally conscious brewery. Our brewery has been built with reclaimed materials and is minimalist in all areas when possible. Our brewery will help to demonstrate what can be achieved with innovative ideas around building practices, building materials, and labour engagement.

In a world of health-conscious parents and confusing ingredient labels, Love Child Organics was created in 2013 on the promise of delivering truly healthy, clean and organic, baby and children’s food products.
Everything started when the founders, Leah and John Garrad-Cole, had their firstborn daughter, Poppy. As new parents, they were shocked (and frustrated) to discover most of the ‘organic’ baby food and children’s snack products contained unnecessary additives that were certainly not ‘real food’ and too often, also contained empty ‘filler’ ingredients that provided little nutritional value.
Leah, an experienced and enthusiastic home cook, began preparing her kids’ 100% clean, organic meals at home, and always added superfoods to ensure that each bite provided optimal nutrition for growth. She wanted her children to grow up with an appreciation for healthy ‘real’ food, right from the start, and for clean, nutrient packed food to be her family’s norm. Prior to becoming a mom, Leah worked for many years as a teacher of students with special educational needs, and she knew, without a doubt, the importance of a healthy diet for children’ optimal growth and development.
With Leah’s homemade recipes in hand, Love Child Organics was born, with the hope that all children could have access to truly honest, pure and delicious organic food that would include as many nutritionally-rich ingredients as possible. As a parent-founded, “values-first” company, Love Child Organics aspires to create only the highest quality organic baby and children’s food, and to run our business with a sense of social responsibility, making a difference on larger scale. We look forward to the privilege of growing our product range alongside you and your families. From the Love Child Organics’ kitchen to yours.
