Nourish Your Diet with Local & Fresh Foods

In today’s food industry, buying local foods is a vastly growing and beneficial trend. Together we can enjoy the taste of seasonal freshness, improve our health and nutrition and increase support for local farms and rural areas to nourish and grow our agricultural industry. Buying local also encourages environmental awareness by reducing the distance food travels around the world, decreasing our carbon foot print and supporting local farmers.

Maintaining a healthy, local food diet will build a positive relationship with local growers or farmers in our community, which help connect us to rural landscapes and great seasonal fresh foods. A great way to participate is to grow your own garden or visit area farms and farmers markets to buy seasonal foods and learn where certain foods are raised or how they are grown to ensure you know the facts about what you are eating.

Showcasing the best ingredients of each season, at Appetizingly Yours Events & Catering we design our menus with the finest produce and meats Ontario has to offer. We support our community’s local growers and farmers, such as Deerfield Nursery (Hillsburgh, ON) and “Alberto” our local garden where possible and encourage everyone to do the same. Share your experiences, what’s your favorite local organic recipe? Where do you pick up those ingredients that give your dish that extra dash of local?
