Cows grazing on hillside pastures are a stereotypical – if often true – image of Switzerland. The Swiss are proud of their mountains and their pristine Alpine countryside. They’re also pretty serious about promoting homegrown food products.
One of the country’s leading supermarket chains, Co-op, sells a line of branded Swiss food products – milk, yogurts, [...]]]></description>

Most of us have very little knowledge of where our food comes from or how it is produced. As a result, misinformation is widely circulated in many different forms – so to get to the real scoop on what’s going on, I&#8217;m a firm believer that there’s no one better to ask than a farmer [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve already talked about my love for fresh Ontario asparagus in a post a couple of weeks ago&#8230;but it&#8217;s still in season and I&#8217;m still enjoying!
Tonight I combined it with another favourite &#8211; Ontario pork &#8211; and ended up with a delicious meal. It was surprisingly easy to make and great to grill on the [...]]]></description>

When it comes to meat, Ontario consumers want protein that is lean and low in saturated fat – yet is still tender and flavourful.
This was the finding of a market research survey conducted recently by the Ontario Veal Association (OVA) to determine consumer perceptions and knowledge of veal and its health benefits.
The study also showed [...]]]></description>

There is a growing demand for Ontario rabbit meat, which means opportunity for Ontario farmers to fill a local food niche. 
But there is very little research to help farmers improve and increase their production, according to a literature review commissioned by Ontario Rabbit. In fact, there are North America-wide gaps in meat rabbit research [...]]]></description>

Consumers are looking for the full flavour of marbled pork and work is now underway to bring such products to the Ontario market.
