Local Farmers are looking to connect with local consumers through a new initiative called Source Local.
The President of Wellington Federation of Agriculture, Janet Harrop, says the Ontario Federation of Agriculture is partnering with Farm and Food Care Ontario with a goal of connecting residents with farmers in the area.
Harrop says it is all about supporting farmers and the local food chain.
She says there will be educational campaigns and events to educate people about the local agriculture sector including everything from how animals are treated on farms, to how to get kids involved in the kitchen.
According to Harrop, Wellington County has an abundance of farming operations and Source Local will help consumers understand how it gets from the farm to the table.
