We’re in the middle of prime fruit and vegetable season. The heat and sun of the summer bring with them roadside stands, farmers markets and local food stores brimming with fresh, Ontario-grown produce. I, for one, as someone who supports local food production and values Ontario’s farmers, am in my element as I’m revelling in [...]]]></description>

I make no secret of my love affair with chocolate. In fact, as someone born in Switzerland, I sometimes feel like it’s my cultural duty to my heritage to ensure that my blood flows as chocolate-brown as possible.
So, given that background, the thought that products like Nutella and Fererro Rochers might soon be considered locally [...]]]></description>

Farmers are looking at many different solutions for dealing with rising energy costs. For one greenhouse grower, the answer lies with a new technology, a thermal blanket installation, which is expected to lower his energy costs by about one-third.
Gerard Schouwenaar of Orchard Park Growers, a St. Catharines-area flower producer, retrofitted a 30,000 sq ft greenhouse [...]]]></description>

Weetabix, a global cereal brand, is sponsoring a wheat art competition for Ontario farmers this year. Sounds a little out-of-the ordinary at first glance and I must admit it is. After all, cereal, art and farming aren’t usually things I tend to link in my head. 
Ontario wheat farmers are encouraged to give their artistic [...]]]></description>

Sometimes I wonder whether we’re actually hard-wired to be instantly attracted to bad news and shocking revelations. I see negativity often dominating our 24-hour news cycle, leaving the less sensational but equally important good news to fall by the wayside.
More and more people are now writing and reporting about food, farming, science and the environment. [...]]]></description>

Eggs are a Canadian breakfast staple. They’re also popular at other mealtimes and as ingredients in countless recipes. But do you ever wonder how eggs are made and where they come from?
I had the chance to find out first hand a couple of weeks ago during a visit to an egg farm north of Guelph, [...]]]></description>

But better late than never&#8230;and certainly before the end of strawberry season!

I am absolutely in love with cheese. Maybe even more so than with chocolate, although that can be debatable depending on the day.
So it was a good day this past Saturday when I discovered a little piece of cheese heaven – Upper Canada Cheese Company.

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>
