Why you should buy local

It supports our communities

Choosing fresh and delicious local food helps create jobs and supports our economic growth in Ontario. It also builds a strong sense of community by supporting Ontario’s farmers, their families and local businesses. You make a positive impact every time you choose to buy local.

It helps the environment

Ontario farmers take pride in being good stewards of the land, helping to promote sustainability and preserve it for future generations. Buying local also means your food comes from closer to home, reducing the environmental impact of imported food from outside the province. Remember that closer means fresher!

It’s nutritious and tastes great

Knowing exactly where your food comes from lets you make sure you’re getting the best quality ingredients for your next meal. Adding nutritious Ontario foods, fruits and vegetables to your diet can help contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
