“I have been a member since the start of Simcoe County Farm Fresh, when I moved from Toronto to open my fine dining restaurant. This membership has been extremely beneficial to my business and now other places of employment, not only for the marketing exposure but for the connections I have made over the last 7 years with amazing farmers and producers, as well as chefs in the region. This buy local food association supports my beliefs as a chef and makes it easier to get products to my kitchen.” - Chef Ivars Rasa
“We have been a member of Simcoe County Farm Fresh for several years and it has made a really positive contribution to our business. We have had the opportunity of networking with other local farms and of enhancing the products we offer to our customers through these connections.
