Our Roots…

Our roots run deep.

In 1833, John Grubb purchased the original 150-acre property. In 1950, Percy and Gloria Kirby acquired 4 acres of it, farming vegetables and building greenhouses, two of which still stand today. The Kirbys grew everything from tomatoes to cabbage, selling both locally and wholesale.

After developers purchased the land, local residents fought to preserve it. In 1980, John Anga stepped in, reviving the greenhouses, planting orchards, and restoring farming to the property.

By 1997, Anga’s Farm was officially recognized by the City of Etobicoke as Toronto’s last working farm, a title we proudly uphold.

Today, Anga’s Farm & Nursery grows thousands of plants each year, supplying gardeners across Toronto and beyond. From lush tropicals and native perennials to vegetable seedlings and fall pumpkins, our offerings change with the seasons, but our commitment to quality and community remains constant.

We invite you to explore our greenhouses, browse our seasonal markets, and join one of our hands-on workshops. At Anga’s, you’re part of a friendly, welcoming place where plants and people thrive together.

Started in 2012 by John Anga, our Annual Hockey & Skate Drive has grown into a heartfelt community tradition here at Anga’s Farm & Nursery.

What began as one person’s dream to make hockey accessible for all has grown into a movement built on generosity, inclusion, and community spirit. Each year, we collect gently used hockey equipment, skates, and sticks to help local families and individuals experience the joy of Canada’s favourite game, without the high cost of gear.

By winter, our greenhouses fill with donations, each one a reflection of our community’s kindness and shared love for the sport. Together, we’re helping new players find their first stick, their first pair of skates, and their first moment on the ice!
