Protecting the Good Things that Grow in Ontario

June 2, 2025

• Protecting Ontario’s local agriculture and food industry is essential to ensuring a strong, self-sufficient food supply chain.

• Local Food Week, from June 2-8, 2025, is an opportunity to remind Ontarians of the good foods that are grown and made in Ontario and the importance of supporting local farmers and other food businesses.

• Across the province, we have more than 48,000 farms and 5,200 food processors and food manufacturers working 365 days a year growing, harvesting and making delicious food right here at home.

• By choosing to purchase what is grown and made right here at home, consumers are supporting our farmers and our communities, strengthening our economy, our province and our country, and protecting our local food supply chain.

• This week, and every week, we encourage people to support local farmers and businesses by purchasing foods with the Foodland Ontario logo, or, where possible, buying directly from farmers either on-farm or at their local farmers’ market.
