Farm Fresh Ontario offers a fresh story.
Many Ontario farms offer exciting on-farm activities, ranging from pick-your-own to agri-tainment (e.g. wagon rides, corn mazes, etc.). Coupled with the fact that many Ontarians are including local food in their diets and supporting Ontario farmers, it’s no wonder that more and more consumers are visiting Ontario farms for the fresh produce, family fun and unique experience.
