The Ontario Fresh Story
Searching for local Ontario foods frustrating you? Finding locally grown fresh foods is frustrating for a lot of people in Ontario. Some local producers can only be found on Facebook, or other sites, where you need to sign in to see what they offer, and not everyone wants to join those communities. This is why Sister Su decided to put together a site where she could share the wonderful Ontario food producers she meets as well as delicious easy recipes using the foods they produce
Why Does Ontario Fresh Emphasize Locally Produced Foods?
Ontario Fresh founder, Sister Su, grew up on a farm outside Peterborough, Ontario. Growing up, she had the opportunity to visit many of the farms belonging to her school chums’ families.It was through her farm life and these visits she developed a love of Ontario fresh foods and people producing Ontario foods.
After being diagnosed with uterine cancer, Sister Su became very interested in nutrition and learned the shortest route between field and table could mean more nutritious foods. One book she read by a cancer survivor really brought this point home. The author who had founded Cancer survivor groups around the world said, "Cancer never killed anyone - malnutrition did!"
The Ontario Fresh website founder also took courses highlighting the important regulations and measures that are put in place by Ontario agricultural groups to try to make Ontario fresh foods as safe as possible for our tables The Agscape course she took was a real eye-opener.
It is hoped that this website will help you to have a diet that is as nutritious as possible, so you will be more physically equipped to battle anything that should come your way
