What is Eating Locally?
Simply Stated
Eating locally means to eat food that is produced by local farmers or is processed by local food processors (e.g. bakeries, dairies, butchers, breweries, wineries).
What are the Guidelines for Choosing Local?
When eating locally it is best to prioritize your food choices in the following manner:
- 1st choice: Food that is produced and/or processed within the Caledon area.
- 2nd choice: Food that is produced and/or processed within Ontario.
In Caledon, there are numerous opportunities to purchase and eat local food (see listing of Local Farmers and Producers in the Caledon Area).
