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 Food Principles
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.

Zero Food Waste
Food waste is a HUGE problem across Canada and we're trying to combat that! By ordering from us, you'll never have any food waste again. Plus, we don't waste ANYTHING in our kitchen. All of our peelings and offcuts are either fed to our pigs on the farm, or composted and used as natural fertilizer.
-
No Single Use Plastics
Most meal delivery companies use tonnes of packaging and single use plastics when delivering their meals. We say NO to that! All of our meals are delivered in reusable or compostable containers and any food deliveries we receive are sent in reusable boxes.
-
Low Emissions
We personally deliver all of our meals in our super trusty van (you might have seen it around). By doing this, we utilise the best routes possible and don't add to the huge amounts of traffic on the roads. Plus, we source ALL of our ingredients locally. Less time on the road = less emissions. Simple.
-
No Harmful Chemicals
We care about your health as much as we care about the environmental health. All of our ingredients are 100% organic meaning they're grown and produced without any synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, orother harmful ingredients.
