Welcome to Homegrown Ontario.

Homegrown Ontario is an alliance of Ontario Pork, the Ontario Veal Association, the Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency, Turkey Farmers of Ontario and the Ontario Independent Meat Processors. Research from Canada’s leading survey-based marketing research firm, Ipsos Reid, clearly indicates that Ontario consumers are eager to support Ontario farmers and the local economy by choosing meat and poultry products produced in Ontario. With the Homegrown Ontario brand and logo, the five associations are making it easy for consumers to do just that.

Be sure to look for the Homegrown Ontario logo on all of your meat and poultry purchases, from veal, beef and bacon to pork, lamb, turkey and more. The little red barn with the trillium in the centre is your guarantee that the meat you are purchasing comes from an Ontario farm and an Ontario processor.
