The Harvest Canada Story
Destination Agritourismo
When was the last
time you enjoyed a freshly buttered cob of Canadian corn, a delicious
bottle of Canadian wine, a walk-about at a bustling Farmers' Market
on a Saturday morning, a hearty breakfast at a country B&B,
the many sites and sounds of a Canadian fair or the smell of a
fresh cut Canadian Christmas tree in your living room? Harvest
Canada is all about discovering agricultural oriented attractions
in the form of day-trip style outings which can last an hour, a
weekend or more. Economical, fun and educational, agri-tourism
is without a doubt, the best-valued family outing going.
Agri-tourism finds its roots in the Italian term agritourismo the concept
of bringing urban residents to farming areas for recreation and spending. Savy
farm businesses today sell the country experience with something for all ages
from mazes, petting zoos and playgrounds to winery tours, bake shops and b&bs
on working farms. Combing the strengths of Canada's superior produce with domestic
tourism, the agri-tourism experience is driving people out of the city in record
numbers.
Proudly Canadian
Harvest

"The
main goal of HarvestCanada is to help Canadian farmers get
a fair value for the work they they do", explains Watt. "Local
food is extremely popular with consumers which is great for
farmers. But people must understand, this is not some fad.
It simply reinforces what Canadian farmers knew for centuries.
Eat local because it is good for you, the environment and the
farmer!"
We
look forward to helping you explore, experience and enjoy
the bounty of good things Canadian!
