Eat Local Grey Bruce and Sideroad Farm are hosting a farm tour this coming Sunday, September 23 at 1 pm. Sideroad Farm is member of the growing organization Eat Local Grey Bruce, a cooperative of farmers and consumers bringing fresh, local foods to families across Grey Bruce.
The farm tour is a chance for members of Eat Local and the broader public to discover how local farmers are putting food on the table. From 1 to 3 pm, guided tours of the farm will allow visitors to discover how Amy and Patrick Kitchen, along with their staff, grow veggies, flowers, pasture raised chicken and pigs too.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to check out the Kitchen's new farm store, opening September 20th! The store stocks their seasonal veggies, pasture-raised and organic fed chicken and eggs, hot bevvies, snacks as well as a cornucopia of other local foods and items from their favourite local farms and producers.
Eat Local Grey Bruce (ELGB) was incorporated in 2016 as a not-for-profit multi-stakeholder cooperative to increase the availability of and access to locally grown foods, to educate the public on the importance of a sustainable food system, to connect farmers and consumers and to keep food dollars in our community.
Eat Local Grey Bruce operates as a local first, home delivery service for food, where local is primarily defined as produced in Grey and Bruce Counties and adjacent areas. Priority is given to locally grown foods that come direct from the producer. If a product isn't available locally, then it can be source from beyond our core area.
For our consumer members, we offer convenient farm-to-door delivery of a full grocery basket of healthy, fresh, delicious food that has high culinary quality but also is grown in an environmentally responsible manner.
