Indulging in local food means supporting Ontario farmers, food processors, and the economy

As we gear up for Ontario’s Local Food Week, it’s important to reiterate the need for shopping local and supporting our rural communities and farm businesses. Local Food Week, which takes place from June 7–13, is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the bounty of fresh, healthy food grown, produced, and processed right here in Ontario. Farmers work year-round to grow and produce fresh, safe, and affordable food for all Ontarians to enjoy.
