The Greenbelt Foundation has released a new case study, Farmers Expanding Southern Ontario’s Fruit and Vegetable Sector, which is an accompaniment piece to Plant the Seeds: Opportunities to Grow Southern Ontario’s Fruit and Vegetable Sector.

This new case study report tells the stories of four fruit and vegetable farms in southern Ontario that successfully expanded the production of their crops:

Nature’s Bounty, located in Port Perry, grows a wide variety of apples on their 25-acre orchard
Fenwick Berry Farm, located in Pelham, grows many types of berries, including strawberries, and other fruits
Berlo’s Best Sweet Potatoes is a large sweet potato farm based out of Simcoe
Van Raay Farms, located in Dashwood, initially focused only on pigs, but has since expanded to produce other crops, including garlic
