Many farms, orchards and farmer's markets call Durham Region, Ontario, home. Vegetable gardeners can buy locally those crops they don't grow at home.
Growing one’s own fruit and vegetables is an extremely satisfying endeavour. The harsh reality of the gardening situation, for some vegetable gardeners, however, is that not all crops are worth the effort or energy required to grow them in a back yard vegetable garden. Supplementing small homegrown crops with locally grown foods is a handy solution to this dilemma, and Durham Region is filled with family-owned operations that sell locally-grown produce, nearly year-round.
It is evident that Durham Region is home to a wonderful variety of farms and orchards, providing its residents with a terrific array of locally grown food!
