With memories of a long winter behind us, one of the best ways to enjoy summer among friends and family is with the many great things that grow in Ontario.
Spotting Foodland Ontario's logo, while shopping at your neighbourhood grocery store or farmer's market, is an easy way to find fresh local food. Here are some other helpful ways for making locally grown goods a part of your summer months:
Complete your summer landscaping project with Ontario-grown nursery products and bring nature inside with Ontario potted plants and fresh cut flowers.
Meet the people who produce your food and discover the wide variety of local food products available, including world-class Ontario VQA wine. Visit a local farmer's market or find a local on-farm market.
Choose Ontario-brewed craft beer and cider to complement your next! outdoor party.
Don't forget local foods include a wide array of locally grown and processed meat, dairy, eggs, honey, as well as mushrooms, greenhouse produce and artisan food products, such as bread and cheese.
Supporting local food is part of the government's economic plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure, and support a dynamic and innovative business climate.
