Flavours of Ontario Farmland

Happy Food Day Ontarians! 

Each year, when Food Day comes around, we are grateful to be reminded of the bounty that our farmers, fishers, kitchens, and researchers contribute to our diverse plates. In support of this initiative, and as part of the Ontario Farmland Trust’s effort to raise awareness of Ontario’s diverse and abundant commodities and their unique growing conditions, we are excited to formally introduce our newest campaign: Flavours of Farmland.

Flavours of Farmland

Flavours of Farmland was created with the purpose to not only celebrate the wide variety of food products that are grown, processed and sold locally by dedicated Ontario producers, but also to highlight the different types of soils and microclimates needed to produce the over 200 commodities us Ontarians are proud to have access to. 

With more and more threats impeding on our agricultural landscapes, now more than ever, we recognize the need to amplify and advocate for our farmers in order preserve our local economies and food systems. We are proud to partner with farmers across Ontario to showcase some of the many commodities produced in our province. 

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook as we showcase our passionate and committed producers each week, starting today!
