Attention Greenbelt Growers/Producers - Sign up Now for the Greenbelt Farmers’ Online Market

The Greenbelt Farmers' Online Market makes it easy for Greenbelt farmers to connect to consumers and institutions by providing information about their farm – what they grow and when they grow it. Users searching the Marketplace to buy food for their families are directed to pick-your-owns and on-farm markets and corporate/ institution/ wholesalers/ and food service purchasers are directed to farms who wholesale their products.

If you’re a grower/producer in Ontario’s Greenbelt region, the Friends of the Greenbelt Foundation along with the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance and the Greater Toronto Area Agriculture Committee (GTAAAC) are asking you to add your farm profile to the Greenbelt Farmers' Online Market found at www.greenbeltfresh.ca.

Creating a farm profile is free and simple. Visit www.greenbeltfresh.ca and click on “Attention: Growers and Producers” to access the online data sheet. If you would like to fill out a paper form instead simply contact the Greenbelt Foundation at www.greenbelt.ca or call us at 416.960.0001.
