Spring Is Here! Celebrate With Ontario-Grown Goodness

‘Now, more than ever, supporting Ontario farmers helps protect the local food supply we rely on.’

A Call-Out to All of Us from the Ontario Greenbelt Foundation

Posted April 3^rd, 2025 on Niagara At Large

Spring has arrived in the Greenbelt, bringing fresh local flavours and a renewed appreciation for everything this protected landscape provides!

April marks the arrival of Ontario-grown asparagus, rhubarb, greenhouse greens. These seasonal favourites highlight the rich farmland and fresh water that make the Greenbelt essential to our province’s food system.

Now, more than ever, supporting Ontario farmers helps protect the local food supply we rely on. Visit a farmers’ market or check your grocery store for Ontario-grown produce to enjoy the best of early spring while keeping our agricultural communities strong.

Every bite of local food is a step toward a healthier, more resilient future!
