Ontario's family food service · Since 1984
Premium all-natural Ontario meats, wild-caught fish, restaurant-quality frozen foods and brand-name pantry staples your family already buys. A real Food Planner picks every item with you, we cut it the way you ask, and we deliver it right to your freezer.
No obligation. No pressure. A real conversation about how your family eats.
“We're only the third family to own Shopease in forty years. When you call, you don't get a call centre. You get my team, and most days you get me. We'll build your order around your budget at your kitchen table, cut everything exactly the way you ask. Thickness, trim, pack size. And we stand behind the quality of every cut.”
Steve Gunsolus, owner · Peterborough, Ontario

How it works
Take the 2-minute survey. Who you're feeding, what you spend on groceries each week, the cuts your family loves. Your answers build your starting plan before we ever talk.
A free, no-obligation consult by phone or in person. Your Food Planner already has your survey plan in front of them, so there's no pitch to sit through. We go straight to fine-tuning it around how your family actually eats.
We go through it item by item and you change whatever you want. Tell us exactly how to cut and package your meats. You get the whole plan in writing, priced to your budget, and nothing moves until you say go.
Our own delivery team brings your order right to your freezer and stacks it with you. Not a courier. And if something isn't right, that's what our guarantees are for.
Not ready to talk yet?
Tell us how your family eats. How many you're feeding, what you spend on groceries, the cuts you love. We build a recommendation from your answers before you ever pick up the phone, so your free consult starts with a plan instead of a pitch.

Why families stay for decades
About us
Shopease Foods has been feeding Ontario families since 1984. Since 2018 it's been owned and run by Steve Gunsolus, just the third owner in its forty-year history, together with his partner Meg and their daughters, Scotland and Margo.
We're not a call centre and we're not a website with a warehouse somewhere. We're a family business on Rye Street in Peterborough, built on family, community and tradition. Steve still plans food orders with customers himself, the same way it's been done here for four decades.
That's why our reviews talk about people by name. When you become a Shopease family, you'll know ours too.
