Farmers' Leaf Market & Café - Cochrane, Alberta

Went for the first time yesterday to take a look for a dessert to take to a dinner and decided to try to raspberry cheesecake. It was a huge hit, without a doubt one of the best cheesecakes we’ve ever had! I’d highly recommend and can’t wait to try more!

WOW. Best lunch I’ve had in ages. I thought Farmer’s Leaf Market & Café had expanded but when I arrived I learned it’s actually 2 separate but complementary businesses.

Met the owners, super friendly and nice, good vibe, cool relaxing atmosphere.

I ordered a salad and bruschetta from Farmhouse Café and while I waited for my order to be prepared, shopped the Farmers’ Leaf – if you like real cream without additives, find it here but order in advance or it sells out, pickup is every Thursday. Also get farm fresh eggs, bread, honey, microgreens, field garlic and a fantastic selection of homemade pies ($35) or a mini like I had – Sour Cherry & Raspberry Ice Cream tart with chocolate crust. I had to order dessert, obviously it was for work so my hands were tied, had to do it ... yum!

The Farmhouse Café has soups, salads and desserts, many vegan and gluten free. SO GOOD. Super fresh and flavourful salad with spinach, mix of lettuce, lots of glazed almonds, orange sections, sesame, avocado, cucumber ... really, really good combo of flavours with outstanding homemade pomegranate vinaigrette. The Garlic Sesame Bruschetta is also very good – fresh take and nice flavour – not the same old, same old. It was light with bits of avocado and microgreens. The bread was better than the usual you get and together very enjoyable.

I’m happy to recommend both these shops and look forward to going back. You will enjoy too – you can really taste the difference of quality and freshness.

Love this little gem! Finally popped in and can’t wait to return. Bought their chocolate milk and freeze dried goods. Who knew freeze dried asparagus is soooo addictive. Looking forward to my next visit!

Do not pass go, do not collect $200.... stop in to see Eliza and Christina. The freeze dried selection is incredible!! They have so many other things like greens and teas, but my fav is the fruits. You are welcome!

I go every week for my fresh milk order and they staff are so friendly.
They recently opened a cafe using their own fresh ingredients and it’s delicious!!

I love this shop! I have the privilege of trying their freeze dried good, and microgreens - DELICIOUS. I love how much care and thought goes into the products produced here, and the love for donkeys, with amazing owners. It's hard to pick favorites, but some that I really enjoyed here: sunflower microgreens, mustard microgreens, freeze dried raspberries, freeze dried cheese, the freeze dried mint chip ice cream was awesome too! I haven't tried everything yet, but I will.

So friendly and helpful, willing to share lots of information about their products and processes. Thanks for the information about freeze drying! Such a cool alternative to other preservation methods for things in the garden. We will be back!
