Ontario Brings Locally Grown Produce to SUBWAY® Restaurants
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SUBWAY® Restaurants. All opinions are 100% mine.
One of my earliest memories as a child is of picking fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and other veggies with my grandparents on their farm back on the East Coast where I grew up. I remember just how much fun it was to run up and down the rows of the garden over and over again – that was a lot of fun but what I enjoyed most was that I got to try some of the very first veggies harvested straight from the garden.
I believe that seeing and know exactly where those crunchy crisp cucumbers and juicy tomatoes came from when I was a child is one of the reasons why I have such a passion for writing about food here on Dishes and Dust Bunnies. Now as a mom who lives in Ontario, I do my very best to choose fresh locally grown vegetables and ingredients.
Choosing locally grown ingredients is important because it not only benefits local economic activity by supporting local jobs and farmers, it also helps the environment by reducing emissions from transporting the food. Choosing local is an important part of being environmentally responsible which contributes to sustainable agriculture.
In other words, your food won’t have to travel as far to reach you, so you get them as fresh as possible!
Buying local reminds me of all the hard work my grandparents did as they grew and harvested the veggies from their farm. Now as a mom, I feel it’s important to pass on this appreciation on to my son and future children. It’s important to me to choose locally grown ingredients to help support the local farmers here in Ontario – hard working people just like my grandparents.
As environmental responsibility and support for local farmers has grown, there has been an increasing number of businesses and restaurants who are stepping up to do their part.
In an exciting initiative, SUBWAY® Restaurants has teamed up with Burnac Produce to bring locally grown produce to Ontario’s 1,300 locations!
Isn’t that great?! Now it’s even easier for you to choose local!
When my family and I are out and about or need something easy to bring home for lunch, we often choose SUBWAY® Restaurants because of their strong commitment to providing locally sourced ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers and other veggies. It really feels great to know that such a large company cares enough to put forth such a great effort to help the environment, as well as support jobs and economic growth here in Ontario!
SUBWAY® Restaurants have always had a commitment to providing the freshest ingredients possible and now with this new initiative for local ingredients, it’s as fresh as it can get! Fresh local ingredients always taste the best!
This is as close to tasting those delicious crunchy cucumbers from my Grammie’s farm as you can get!

those veggies looks fresh. Sourcing locally is a nice idea, this will help a lot of farmers.
I had no idea they were sourcing locally. That is so cool and makes we want to go there more.
I had no idea that subway stores did anything like this. I hope more stores catch on to initiative like this.
I love that they are doing this. It’s so important to support local business. Why get produce from anywhere else when it’s available locally?
It’s great that they’re now supporting and using locally grown produce. It’s so important to support local jobs and farmers.
I live close to a local market. I am happy that we are able to get fresh produce everyday. That is good that Subway Restaurants brings in locally grown produce. ^_^
My husband will be thrilled! He always gets his subs with everything on them while I’m more picky. But it’s really important to use to shop local and make sure to support or ur growers here at home!
Subway is such a great chain. It always ranks as a top franchise to own. I really like the fresh and healthy options they have.
This was a very interesting post especially because I only eat the vege subs at subway! Love the idea – hope other big brands start looking at this!
I think this is just a fantastic idea – not existing much on my place but just the thought of it makes me feel and realize how good and helpful this will be for everyone!
This is great they are doing this. It’s a great step in the right direction for more healthier food.
Fresh, locally grown produce and Subway is a winning combination for me. It’s really nice that Subway is making this possible.
I think that this is awesome that Ontario is bringing locally grown produce to the Subway Restaurants. It supports local economy and gives back to the community. The sub I really loved from Subway was the Apple wood pulled pork. Yummy!!! Thanks for sharing the awesome news.
I knew I loved Subway for a reason, fresh veggies!! YUM!!
This is so wonderful to hear about, I love seeing companies use locally grown produce and it’s fantastic to hear that Subway is doing this in Ontario
I am all about eating locally grown produce whenever possible. How cool that these Subways in Ontario are taking this step to connect consumers with their food.
I love Subway!! It’s our go to for a quick dinner, I love that Ontario is using local produce to make their subs now.
That is so great! I love the idea of local produce being used in my sandwiches.
I eat the vege subs mostly, so this is a pretty big deal for me!! Awesome. Hopefully Quebec starts doing the same thing soon.
That’s awesome! It would be great if they introduced this in other provinces at some point too! 😀
