Be Aware, are you buying from "Verified
Local" Vendors at the Farmers' Market?
(Ontario only)
"Who Can Apply as a “Verified Local” Vendor?
All Ontario bona-fide, conventional and organic
growers and producers may apply. As part of the
initial application, all prospective vendors will
be required to submit a full list of the produce/products
to be sold and indicate when these items will
be available for market. All farms will be inspected
by an independent farm inspector, hired by FMO.
There is zero tolerance for the reselling of products
that have not been grown by the vendor."
Be Aware, are you buying Canadian products? If the label includes "Product of Canada" it is Canadian. If the label does not say "Product of Canada", then it may not be a Canadian product.
