Provincial Funding is Massive Support for Ontario’s Agritourism Sector
With the support of the provincial government, Ontario’s leading agritourism association is taking giant steps to grow the sector across Ontario
Agritourism Ontario (formerly Farm Fresh Ontario) is heading into 2025 with a new name and look that is more reflective of what the association does. It is also taking on some big projects thanks to the support of Ontario’s Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.
“Agritourism is such a dynamic and growing part of Ontario’s nearly $51 billion agri-food sector. There are so many engaging, energizing, and fun experiences open to people across our province that reconnects them to their land and soil and inspires them to choose world-class, locally grown food products,” said Rob Flack, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness. “Thank you, Agritourism Ontario. The work you do plays such a critical role in building up the momentum we’re seeing across our province’s agritourism sector and communicates Ontario’s amazing agri-food story,
which employs over 871,000 men and women.” “There is so much growth potential in our sector and this funding will go a long way in helping us reach that potential”
