Farm Fresh

Oxford Fresh is a partnership between Oxford County Federation of Agriculture and Tourism Oxford, promoting shopping local farms and producers in Oxford County. 

By buying from local farmers and producers, you’re getting high quality products reducing your carbon footprint while putting money back into the local economy. According to a recent Ontario local food report, Ontario’s agri-food sector contributes more than $47.3 billion in GDP (gross domestic product) and supports more than 860,000 jobs.  

Oxford County is lucky enough to be in the heart of Ontario’s agriculture and produces everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to meat and fish, chocolate and honey, dairy and more! 

Supporting local food is a lifestyle choice to be in tune with the seasons and the food our county has to offer. Read on to explore the different Oxford Fresh partners here in Oxford County!
