Restaurants & Chefs in Niagara Falls – Local Organic Advantages

A recent or so article, published in July 2016, from Toronto Life called “Your salad says it’s local, organic and sustainable – but is it?” tested several restaurants in Toronto to their claims. Canadian restauranteurs do their best to provide their diners with locally sourced foods, but they do end up having to source outside of local, mostly due to seasonal availability issues.  Otherwise, their doors would simply close for good. The Canadian climate can be very uncooperative for farmers in Canada however, many restaurants have clever & sustainably minded chefs that create foods from seasonally available produces which narrows real choices.

Important Facts to Keep in Mind About the Importance of CERTIFIED ORGANIC

  • Organic means grown in soil that is pesticide and chemical free.
  • Certified Organic means that a farm, such as ours, has gone through and continues to go through rigorous processes and testing through government standards.  It is a trusting way to educate and maintain an open relationship with a community of thoughtful eaters.

Niagara Region Growing Season – The Biggest Advantage

The season for farming organic then becomes much shorter in our colder Ontario environment however, Niagara is an especially interesting climate area.  The abundance of vineyards alone point to the fact that the season in this southern part of Ontario is longer than anywhere else and provides a great advantage for local restaurants to be able to serve seasonal produce longer and faster.
