Overview

Ontario produces a diverse range of high-quality food and beverages that consumers love and trust. Each year, we celebrate and promote the good food that grows in the province through Ontario Agriculture Week.

To mark the 25th Ontario Agriculture Week from October 1 to 8, 2023, we launched the Dine Ontario initiative to:

  • promote local food and beverages in local restaurants
  • connect Ontario farmers and distributors with more restaurants
  • help restaurants attract even more customers
  • encourage customers to choose local when they dine out

Thank you to all participating restaurants, chefs, distributors, commodity organizations and food businesses for making Dine Ontario a success during Ontario Agriculture Week 2023.
