In honour of Ontario’s second annual Local Food Week, Farm & Food Care Ontario invites everyone to join Ontario farmers and food partners in the celebration. The first week of June marks the annual celebration of Local Food Week in Ontario. This year, the celebration is set for June 1-7, with farmers, farm organizations, agribusinesses and government partners hosting events.
Local Food Week gives Ontarians a chance to put a spotlight on the wide variety of local foods and beverages available year-round. The week will celebrate those who grow, produce, harvest, buy and sell it.
“We are fortunate to have access to a wide variety of local fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, eggs, dairy products, processed foods, honey and maple syrup that are readily available and grown or produced close to home,” states the organization in a press release, adding, “buying local has never been easier or more delicious.”
