While doing my early morning, coffee sipping Internet reading I stumbled across an awesome website. It outlines local agricultural related events and will help you quickly find local food vender's including markets, restaurants, farms and stores anywhere in Ontario. What a fantastic resource! I will definitely be showing this website to my Nutrition students in the fall.
Our Goal For Local Harvest
Our goal is to become the ultimate source for finding local food across Ontario. We want to become local food storytellers and through those stories we hope to motivate consumers to explore their communities for great tasting food...
Another important goal is to build a community centred around the celebration of great local food. We are fortunate to live in an amazing province that grows an abundant variety of food. There are many reasons to buy local, it helps support the local economy, is better for the environment and what we feel is one the greatest reasons, “it just tastes better”. Have you ever tried an Ontario strawberry, farm fresh asparagus, locally grown corn, a fall harvest apple? There is no comparison. The food in Ontario is amazing and we need to be celebrating and encouraging more shops and restaurants to source local products...
