🌱☀️What happens when you mix a few green thumbs and a little sunshine? You get the RFRK Garden Club, a staff-led initiative we've been enjoying since 2019 and lets our passion for fresh food grow in a different way, beyond the workday.
We love the way Garden Club brings together a shared interest and offers a chance to step away from our desks and connect with each other while we grow tomatoes, hot peppers and herbs like chives, cilantro, mint & parsley! 🍅🌶️🌿
It’s also a natural extension of the v t shape RFRK every day. Just as we celebrate the local farmers who strengthen our food system, our Garden Club nurtures the curiosity that inspires people to get closer to the source of their food.
Interested in starting a garden of your own but not sure where to begin? Start small in your very own home with a microgreens grow kit from Bramble Hill Farm or Nature Lion mushroom grow kit. We've even gifted both of these to our centre partners before! Visit our blog rfrk.com/garden-club for links to both websites.

Get pumped up, we’re SQUASHING the myth that pumpkin is just for the fall! ☀️Our Pumpkin & Beans* is a savoury, plant-based meal with pumpkin, tomato, kidney beans and yummy herbs & spices. We love this dish because it shows how this ingredient can be enjoyed well beyond Halloween: kind of like a vegetarian chili, with pumpkin creating a unique & delicious base. Every hearty bite is balanced with either Canadian quinoa or a locally baked whole wheat roll (no sauce goes to waste!). Also served with bell pepper and orange.
*Omnivores are enjoying our Beef & Tomato, featuring Ontario ground beef that’s pasture-raised without routine antibiotics or added hormones. ❤️

🥣✨👀There's more to our NEW Cinnamon & Chia Oatmeal than meets the spoon!
We're excited to welcome this snack, made with gluten-free oats and bringing more variety to the morning mix, from Toronto-based Goldy's. And Goldy's also has a pretty stellar claim to fame: one of their cereals has been to space as part of the Artemis II mission! 🚀Pretty cool for a company started by two best friends from Toronto. 💙

Guess who’s BACK just in time for snack time? 🥒💚
Our Cocoa-Zucchini Loaf from local bakery Sweets from the Earth has returned to the menu, bringing some zucchini flair and even more variety to the mix.
We’re always happy to celebrate treats that let veggies take centre stage. In fact, zucchini is the #1 listed ingredient, with its natural moisture helping create the loaf’s soft texture. Plus, our loaves are vegan-friendly, so even more kids can enjoy a slice.
Also served with apple.

The PEAR-fect NEW purée! Because our littlest eaters deserve some exciting variety too, we're happy to be introducing a new infant-friendly blend: Pear-Blueberry Purée. 🍐🫐Made with nothing but the goodness of apples, pear purée and blueberries, no sugar added.
Boasting a natural pretty purple hue, this is appealing to everyone who eats with their eyes first. And bonus, it tastes even better than it looks!
Served at lunch today. Bigger kids will enjoy pear.

Name a better duo. We'll wait! 🙃Our Soup & Sammie combo is BACK! Featuring hummus & cheddar cheese slice, a locally-baked multigrain pita bun, apple, and our Squash-Coconut Soup.
One of the best things about this meal is how customizable it can be! Our favourite way to enjoy it is with everything together: hummus, cheddar cheese slice, and apple layered onto the multigrain pita bun. But in classic choose-your-own-adventure style, there are no rules: maybe the hummus becomes an apple dip, while the cheese finds its way into a sandwich. 🍎🧀
The best part? Our Squash-Coconut soup recipe just dropped! Make it at rfrk.com/real-food-recipes/squash-coconut-soup All you have to do is pair it with your favourite sandwich (why not try ours? Or let us know in the comments your go-to pairing! ) 😉
