Powerline Films has been traveling across Ontario gathering stories of people and places that are transforming the future of food. Created in partnership with Sustain Ontario and more than a dozen partners, these videos shine light on good food ideas from many regions of our province.
At the beginning of each week, we put one of the videos in the spotlight so you can feast your eyes on the good food ideas developing across the province. This week’s video features Harvest Haliburton. Watch the rest of the videos on ontariofoodvideos.ca.
Listen to a group of new and passionate Haliburton County farmers describe how they are using food production to sustain a healthy relationship with the community and the land. By reshaping their food environments, they are taking full advantage of affordable land that many deem too rough to grow food on. With innovation and determination, these farmers are growing a viable and resilient local food system featuring diverse crops and livestock. The experience of growing the food that appears on your own plate is celebrated as a feeling like no other, building an appreciation for food production amongst individuals and families.
