“I’m a great believer in the sayings ‘you are what you eat' , and 'let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food'.

In 2010, I made the decision to go into organic agriculture for the purpose of growing healthy, all-natural foods free from pesticides and other chemicals. 

The more I got involved in the agriculture business, the more I could see how the industry has become a huge chemical jungle that impacts our environment, our health and our children. Approximately 95% of the food eaten today comes from large industrial farms. On these industrial farms, you no longer see eagles flying above the fields for the simple reason that there are no longer any rabbits or pheasants or mice on the ground below because of all the chemicals we spray.  

The enormous use of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and chemical additives are making people sick and allergic. It’s one of the main reasons why food is now the biggest cause of chronic disease in Canada and the United States.  

When I was growing up, everyone knew where their food came from and how it was made. Everything was grown naturally and every meal used foods that were full of nutrients and vitamins. It was simple and natural. 

The fact is, if you’re healthy, you think more clearly. You’re able to work better. And you’re able to get the most out of life, whether it’s building a successful career, playing sports or pursuing leisure activities.   

To be truly healthy, we need to embrace a diet of all-natural, organic foods. That’s why I decided to open Frank’s Organic Garden Restaurant and Marketplace, where we only serve and sell the finest and freshest organic foods. 

At Frank’s Organic Garden, our recipes incorporate organic produce grown at our organic farm and greenhouse in the nearby countryside. All our meat is organic, free-range, GMO-free, hormone-free, and free from antibiotics. And all our meats are sourced from animals that live and roam freely on fields and pastures with fresh air, clean water, and daylight. 

Over the years, I’ve eaten in the best restaurants in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Vienna, so I think I’m a fairly good judge of quality. I taste every recipe before it goes on our menu. If it’s not a wow, we won’t have it on the menu. And if it doesn’t have great nutritional value, we won’t put it on the menu either. 

It is my sincere hope that people of all ages will embrace a healthy organic lifestyle so they can feel their best and reach their full potential."

On our farm you will find a certified-organic greenhouse, acres of pasture where happy cows roam, and fields of fruits and vegetables. Everything grown and raised here is served at our restaurant and for sale in our marketplace. And considering it’s located less than 10KM from our store, this farm redefines ‘eating local’ at this scale. Controlling every step from seed to table helps us guarantee superior quality food that is free from chemicals and highly nutritious. 

We practice regenerative farming, a conservation and rehabilitation approach to maintain biodiversity and earth’s natural order. All our produce is grown in soil which ensures the most delicious flavour and highest nutrient density. We strive to implement the latest techniques and technology in planting, harvesting and storage to keep us at the forefront of organic agriculture. 

Tasti-Lee tomatoes, among other produce, is grown in our certified organic greenhouse. They are a natural-hybrid Florida-native, and Frank’s favourite, for good reason. These tomatoes have a low acid level, delicate skin, and exceptional taste and nutrition compared to average tomatoes. And Frank's Organic Garden is the only location in Canada where these ready-to-eat tomatoes are available. Cucumbers, garlic, Yukon potatoes, fingerling potatoes, celeriac beets, kale, spinach, lettuce and more are grown in the greenhouse and on the farm. 

The success of our farm rests on the shoulders of our team; people who care deeply about the environment, fine food, and the welfare of people, plants, and animals. As stewards of the land, they invest hours of physical and emotional resources to work in harmony with nature’s cycles. It’s challenging work and we’re grateful for their efforts. 

Our commissary is an OMAFRA-certified central kitchen. This immaculately clean, provincially inspected facility is where all of our Frank’s Signature items are created. Ingredients entering this facility are fully traceable and accounted for. Professional-grade equipment, rigorous quality assurance measures, and a dedicated team help produce exceptional quality food to be enjoyed at our restaurant or in your home. 

Here our fully trained, certified butcher is proudly preserving the trade. We’re one of the few organizations which receive complete animals from abattoirs; allowing us to select only the finest cuts, fulfill special requests, and minimize food waste. 

Our commissary team is dedicated to safe food handling and top-quality results. Strict protocol, sanitization standards and extensive tracking of entrants and ingredients are implemented to all but eliminate service risks. Our team does an excellent job of upholding the highest production standards and we’re grateful for their hard work to keep everyone safe and satisfied. 

Our commissary is located less than 10KM from our store. The close proximity of our operations reduces the travel distance, time, and emissions required for your food to reach its destination; it’s good for everyone – including the Earth.
