Busy Thursday morning @ONFoodTerminal! Not much time for photography, but here we've got beefsteak tomato plants ready for action, fantastic-looking basil and parsley from @Rigafarms, and some fresh flowers.
The Ontario Food Terminal has been central to Ontario’s food chain for over 70 years.
Canada’s new National Food Security Strategy will cut red tape in the agricultural supply chain, helping places like this get food to store shelves more efficiently — bringing your costs down at the store.
