Simply Local is simply a great idea!
Welcome to the Simply Local website where you will find information about farms in Halton - to pick your own produce, purchase garden products, and enjoy recreational activities with the whole family.
The guide has information on where you can find all the farm-fresh produce, nursery products and recreational activities that Halton farms have to offer.
Halton Region values its farms - they are part of our heritage. Many Halton farms are family businesses and Halton Region is proud to support them through programs like Simply Local.
Simply Local is a Regional initiative to promote Halton's agricultural industry, and to encourage healthy eating and physical activity. It also creates an important connection between Halton residents and Halton farms.
Simply Local involves the community through a workgroup consisting of local farmers, dietitians, and other professionals whose input and assistance is invaluable. The initiative was originally funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care
through Choices-4-Health
, a group of individuals and organizations within Halton working together to promote healthy eating, physical activity, smoke-free living, and stress management.
