Farm Boy has launched a new seasonal series to solve the eternal problem of long weekend meal planning: what to actually cook.
The Summer Menu Curator is a three-part series dropping before each summer long weekend. Each instalment pairs a curated menu with fresh, locally sourced ingredients selected by Ontario chefs and local food creators. The work of figuring out what to make is already done.
For the Canada Day 2026 weekend, the menu combines easy appetizers, barbecue-ready dishes, and summer-inspired desserts built around Farm Boy's rotating seasonal selection. On the website, their recipe hub offers ideas like colourful antipasto skewers, grilled scallops with salsa verde, crunchy rainbow salad with peanut dressing, and rhubarb and wild blueberry hand pies suited to backyard barbecues, picnics, and potlucks.
If you'd rather skip the cooking entirely, Farm Boy Bronte is hosting a Canada Day barbecue from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with live music, sampling, festivities, and a contest to win a $100 Farm Boy gift basket. The second and third instalments of the Summer Menu Curator drop before the Civic Holiday and Labour Day weekends.
