The Story
Home Grown connects the fresh food on your plate to the farmers who nurtured it.
Because whether it’s your morning toast, an apple in your lunch, or grilled chicken for dinner, it all comes from Ontario. But every single day, Ontario loses an average of 319 acres of productive farmland.

Because Ontario Farms Give Us So Much
Just like our ecosystems, our food is communal.
It brings families together for the holidays.
It brings friends together for special occasions.
It brings couples together for romantic dates.
It starts new friendships and reinforces existing ones.
It connects us all as Ontarians.
Because Ontario Farms Give Us So Much
It’s safe, sustainable, and protects vital creatures like bees and wildlife from losing critical habitats we share.
But Most Importantly
it defines our traditions, connects our cultures, and adds meaning to our gatherings.
The Effects of Urban Sprawl
We’re growing as a province, and that means we need more room for other necessities. But urban sprawl is more than housing or subdivisions – it refers to things like shopping malls and warehouses as well.
That’s why it’s important to recognize the true value of our rich farmland and the Ontarians who use it to feed us and fuel us.
