Amazingly FreshHave you ever had freshly picked vegetables? The taste is incredible. We think ours taste even better. We grow our vegetables and herbs year-round in our state-of-the-art protected growing environments where every day is the best day of the year to grow and harvest at the peak of freshness.
Our precision-farming technology allows us to harvest up to 7 days a week versus conventional farms that can only harvest a few time a year. When it comes to freshness, conventional farms and greenhouses just can’t compete. Nobody sells fresher produce then Metropolis Farms Canada. |
Farm-to-Table has never been closer. Our vegetables and herbs grow within 1 hour of where you live, not thousands of kilometers away like most farms. Our farms are designed to operate in the same neighborhoods where the markets and restaurants that serve you are located.
Our hyper farm-to-table and ground-zero approach ensures that we always have the freshest produce. It allows us to be incredibly responsive to the local communities' market needs since our farmers live in the same communities we service. We harvest our crops at the peak of freshness and deliver them the same day. Since we are so close, we measure our delivery in food minutes instead of days or even weeks as conventional farms do. It doesn’t get more Farm-to-Table than us. |
Highly Nutritious
We grow superfoods. Our fresh vegetables and herbs have the highest nutritional values. Since we grow in protected environments, our herbs and vegetables don’t lose their energy and nutrition fighting to survive against soil-born diseases, pests, and uncertain water and weather conditions.
Our technology actually optimizes our vegetables' nutritional value, strength and vigor. Much less of the plants' available energy is spent in search of water and nourishment, thereby freeing the plants to divert their energy to become the highest quality produce available today. It is a scientific fact that herbs and vegetables lose their taste and nutritional value over time. |
Studies have consistently shown that many herbs and vegetables lose 60 to 70 percent of their nutrition and taste before they reach your table. We ensure our freshness and nutritional value by delivering our produce to you the same day it is harvested.
Nobody grows more nutritious produce than we do!

Never Out Of SeasonWe deliver an authentic local farm-to-table supply of your favorite fresh herbs and vegetables year-round. Traditional farms and greenhouses have to rely on outside weather condition. They can only have a few harvests a year with no control over when their crops are ready to harvest. When they do harvest, they have to pick and deliver everything at once, but never a steady year round supply. This also means that they can only offer authentic farm fresh produce a few days a year.

Most farms lose freshness and nutrition by taking weeks from harvest to delivery. At best, it’s an antiquated 19th Century system in need of change. We ensure a steady, always-freshly picked supply because we can cost-effectively control all of the variables that traditional farms and greenhouses don’t; i.e. weather, water, pests, etc. Our precision-farming technology allows us to harvest 7 days a week. You can now buy locally authentic, fresh-picked farm-to-table produce every day of the year instead of relying on produce coming from thousands of kilometers away picked weeks before. Our technology can provide fresh local strawberries in December; spinach, arugula and basil are locally available year-round. We can harvest and deliver fresh every day without regard for outside weather or water conditions. Winter, summer, spring or fall, we can deliver freshly-picked produce, even in the dead of winter. You can have fresh local micro-greens when you need them. At Metropolis Farms Canada, the phrase “out of season” is obsolete!
Lasts Longer
The Brix scale measures freshness, taste, nutritional value and shelf life of vegetables and herbs. We strive for Brix numbers of 12 or better at the point of delivery, more than double what you get from the average conventional or organic farm.
Healthier, optimally grown produce picked and delivered at the height of freshness lasts significantly longer in your home than produce that sits for weeks and travels thousands of kilometeres before it even reaches your local stores and restaurants.

NO PESTICIDES EVER!
Has anyone ever said, “I really miss that great pesticide aftertaste?” How about, “Can I have some cancer-causing weed killers sprayed on my dinner, please?” or how about “Would you please use herbicides that kill all the bees and endanger our planets future”? We don’t use pesticides or herbicides EVER. Our proprietary Vertical Farming systems and technology ensure that our produce grows without the need for dangerous pesticides and herbicides.

WE SAY NO TO GMO!
We grow exclusively with non GMO seeds. GMO seeds are used to allow the produce to survive the heavy herbicides and pesticides used in outdoor farming.
Aside from the many health risks that these chemicals present, they are presently the leading suspect in the massive death of our countries bee population. Without bees to pollinate, our planet will not survive. We don’t have weeds, we don’t have bugs, we don’t need GMO seeds, and we don’t use them, ever! |
Better for the Environment
Our method of farming is far better for the environment than either convention, greenhouse or traditional organic farming.
We use 2% of the water, and 12% of the energy required by that of a conventional and traditional farm. Finally we recycle the nutrients we use unlike conventional farms that allow their fertilizer to seep into the water table. |
Specialty Crops For Restauraunts and Gourmets
Our precision farming technology and methods are a perfect fit for the demands of restaurants and gourmets. Our produce is available for same day pickup and delivery to restaurants and stores within our local delivery radius.
We love working with chefs to provide their specific needs for fresh herbs and vegetables. We can deliver a consistent fresh supply of herbs and vegetables regardless of the season. Super Towers can even be dedicated to produce specific herbs or vegetables exclusively for select restaurants, and a ready supply can always be available. If your menu requires specialty herbs or vegetables regardless of the region or the season, give us a call. |
