The Ontario Table is challenging shoppers to spend a small portion of their holiday budget on Ontario-produced edible goods. This small act not only supports local farmers and food processors, but there is also a large ripple effect. As Lynn Ogryzlo of The Ontario Table writes:
“The average Ontario shopper intends to spend almost $700 on holiday gifting this year. If just $70 or 10% of this was spent on edible gifts crafted from Ontario producers, the economic impact would equate to $500 million extra in our Ontario food system, supporting up to 10,000 food sector jobs.”
