Halton Farms not only offer plenty of opportunities to get fresh produce but also provide great outdoor adventures that can be fun and quite active. Picking apples on a crisp fall day or juicy strawberries in the spring can create some unforgettable family memories. Buying and enjoying Halton-grown produce offers many benefits. When you support local farms, you’re helping to keep our agricultural industry and our economy healthy and prosperous. Enjoying locally grown fresh produce is also a tasty way to make better eating choices, and picking it yourself is a fun way to be active. You will be amazed at all the options you have for picking up farm-fresh products and enjoying a relaxing day of recreation at the same time. Agriculture in Ontario’s Greenbelt  is very important. It provides fresh and nutritious food, lessens our dependence on imported foods, and reduces transportation costs along with smog and greenhouse gases. With good support from urban consumers there is tremendous opportunity to open local food markets for Greenbelt farmers to deliver fresh foods to Ontario families.
