Who are we?
The Conscious Farm Kitchen is a farm-to-table prepared vegan meal delivery service, delivered to your door across Southern Ontario. We care about helping our customers feed themselves & their families food they can feel good about - which for us means prepared meals that are fresh, organic, sustainable, nourishing, and most importantly delicious.
Founded by Celeste Lopreiato, The Conscious Farm Kitchen is a proudly queer, BIPOC, and womxn owned & run business. We create & cook all of our prepared meals with a small team, gathering ingredients and inspiration from local farmers & food producers, right here on our farm in Grey County (Saugeen Ojibway Territory).
Our menu changes weekly & seasonally, so you'll rarely eat the same meals twice, we also create frozen meals and additional snacks that you can add to your order. With our door-to-door delivery, we aim to make meal planning easy and convenient each and every week.

Our team

Celeste Lopreiato (She/Her)
Founder and Owner
Celeste is the heart and soul of The Conscious Farm Kitchen. From childhood days spent cooking and baking, she's grown into a passionate advocate for vegan food, sustainability, and supporting local businesses. After growing up in Toronto, Celeste pursued Environmental Governance at the University of Guelph and spent her summers working on organic farms, deepening her connection to sustainable practices.
In 2019, Celeste founded The Conscious Farm Kitchen, driven by her frustration at the lack of healthy vegan options in her community. What started as a solution to a personal challenge quickly blossomed into a thriving business. Celeste remains 100% involved in the everyday operations, pouring her heart into every aspect of the business.
Her favorite part of running The Conscious Farm Kitchen is the creativity it allows. Every week, she crafts new recipes that showcase the best local and organic produce, bringing fresh and exciting meals to her customers. Beyond the kitchen, Celeste thrives on being part of the entrepreneurial community, especially cherishing her interactions with other young, BIPOC, Queer, and womxn-owned businesses.
Celeste lives on a beautiful farm in Grey County with her partner, Simone, two rescue dogs, and three rescue pigs. Their farm is also the home of The Conscious Farm Kitchen, embodying the spirit of sustainability and community that Celeste is so passionate about.

Bio:
I love nature, film, collecting records, reading, art, board games, food and honest one on one discussions about real things. I was raised by 5 older sisters and am not afraid to cry. I lives in Flesherton with my rock of a wife and best friend of 28 years. Together we have raised an empathetic son that knows how listen and is a practicing Sitzpinkler, and a daughter who was taught at a very young age not to take ANY shit from ANYONE.
Working for The Conscious Farm Kitchen for the first time in my life I feel like I am entirely part of the solution.
