The Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation is excited to be taking part in Ontario Agriculture Week from October 6-12, 2014.
Organized by Foodland Ontario with Farm and Food Care, Agriculture Week celebrates Ontario's farmers and the over 200 commodities they produce.
Throughout the week, we're going to be talking about, thanking, and celebrating the many growers and producers that make Ontario's Greenbelt great.
Whether you're actively involved in the sector or just want to learn more about the food you're eating and its journey from the farm to your plate, we'd love you to be part of the conversation.
Here are some resources to get you started:
