I am a proud owner of a <a href=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/2012\/07\/the-bounty-of-summer.html\">CSA farm share<\/a>, I love that the meat my family eats is mostly from the farms within a 50 km radius of our home and I frequent every farmer&#8217;s market in the area. I am proud that I live in Ontario with such a rich diverse agricultural history. I love local food.<\/p>\n<p>If you love local food, you must get a copy of Lynn Ogryzlo&#8217;s new book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ontariotable.com\/the-ontario-table-cookbook\/\">The Ontario Table<\/a>. \u00a0I was instantly enamored by it. \u00a0The cookbook is filled with beautiful pictures, amazing recipes and so many wonderful farms and food producers to visit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/photo-7.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-892\" alt=\"photo (7)\" src=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/photo-7-272x300.jpg\" width=\"272\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/photo-7-272x300.jpg 272w, https:\/\/familyfoodandtravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/photo-7.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things I love about The Ontario Table:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It features 100 stories of growers, festivals, nature and agricultural destinations from across Ontario.<\/li>\n<li>There are over 100 recipes using only Ontario produce\/food<\/li>\n<li>Each recipe features a VQA, Ontario or fruit wine pairing (over 70 wineries are featured)<\/li>\n<li>For the food traveller there are 20 stories of culinary tourism for destinations across Ontario<\/li>\n<li>Seasonal produce and year round local food options are given<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Kawartha&#8217;s are an area I love to visit. \u00a0When there, I always try to find Crosswinds Farm goat cheese. \u00a0It is absolutely my favorite. \u00a0The Stinging Nettle goat cheese makes everything taste divine. If you are in the area you can even take part in their Cheese Maker for a day experience.<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Ogryzlo and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farmersfeedcities.com\/\">Farmers Feed Cities<\/a> are challenging <strong>every household in Ontario to spend $10 of their weekly grocery budget on local food<\/strong>. \u00a0If we did this it would mean that there would be $2.4 billion influx into our economy. \u00a0That is remarkable to me. \u00a0Just $10 to choose local food. \u00a0So easy, but it makes a remarkable impact.<\/p>\n<p><b>3 steps to buying local<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<b>Research<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ontariofarmfresh.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ontariofarmfresh.com<\/a>\u00a0for a listing of all on-farm markets in\u00a0Ontario.
