Welcome to our second edition of the Harvests of Haldimand Local Food Guide.
Haldimand County’s farmers produce a bounty of goodness, fresh from some of the most prized agricultural land to be found anywhere in Southern Ontario. This diversity of food inspires our local chefs to create unique and delectable Haldimand Dishes. A celebration of the Harvests of Haldimand occurs throughout the year, from fruit, vegetables, meat and poultry to cheese, eggs, jams, and maple syrup.
Why Shop Locally?Freshness and Taste!Sun-ripened produce right off the vine — delicious!
Why eat a tomato that has traveled for days on a truck? Fully ripened and bursting with flavour, your local tomato can be on your dinner plate the same day it was picked. Fresh food often contains fewer preservatives (essential for food traveling long distances), providing you with a more natural, wholesome product. Quality local food isn’t just about produce. There’s a wide variety of great tasting food, including eggs, milk, cheese, meat, honey, preserves and poultry waiting for you to discover. You’ll get exceptional taste and freshness. Local food is fresher, more nutritious and tastes better than food shipped long distances from other countries and provinces. Local farmers can offer varieties of produce bred for taste and freshness rather than for shipping and long shelf life.
Have Confidence in Our FoodKnow where your food comes from.
How much do you know about your food? Local farmers take pride in high quality food that’s safe for you and your family. They will enthusiastically answer your questions because nobody can tell you more about your food than those who grow it! Knowing where your food comes from and how it is grown or raised allows you to make choices on what you eat.
Support your Rural CommunitiesGet to know your farmer.
When we buy from local farmers, we are supporting local businesses and providing income for families in our community. Let’s keep our food dollars where they belong—in our own community! With each local food purchase, you ensure that more of your money spent on food goes to the farmer and less to the national retailers. Getting to know the farmers who grow your food builds relationships based on understanding and trust, the foundation of strong communities.
A Healthier Environment for future generations.Reduce your carbon footprint.
Local food doesn’t have to travel far. By reducing packaging material and the distance food travels, we can reduce carbon emissions and leave a smaller ecological footprint. When we support local food systems, we ultimately make a positive impact on the environment—cleaner air and water, and farmland that’s preserved for future generations. Local products are also comparably priced to produce picked elsewhere.

Snyder’s Sweet Corn Tips
BOILED CORN ON THE COB
Remove husks, silk and ends, from each ear. Rinse corn in cold water and drop into a kettle of
vigorously boiling unsalted
water, making sure water completely covers corn. Allow water to return to a boil for four minutes. Drain and serve im-
mediately with butter, salt and pepper (if desired).
MICROWAVED CORN ON THE COB
Cook fresh corn on the cob in microwave with husks and silk intact. They
will cook in their own natural moisture.
Cooking Timetable:
Remove and wrap in kitchen towel, foil or stick in oven mitts for at least 5 minutes. Remove husks and silk (which is
easier than when cold) and serve.
BARBEQUED CORN ON THE COB
Take unhusked corn on the cob and submerge in water for about 20 minutes. Remove corn from water and place into
hot coals, or on a gas grill. Turn occasionally until done (a
pproximately 15 to 20 minutes) or until outside of husks are
burnt. Remove husks and season with butter and salt.
