Get Fresh …Eat Local’ Middlesex-London Local Food Guide

 

 

Ignite your passion … for local food.  The Middlesex Federation of Agriculture (MFA) recently

 

launched the ‘Get Fresh …Eat Local’ Middlesex-London Local Food Guide.

 

The food guide, developed by MFA in conjunction with many community partners and

 

contributors, maps where you can go to buy locally produced food direct from local

 

farms and farm markets. 

 

 

Decide today to put some locally grown foods on your plate – fresh foods from the

 

farms and fields of Middlesex-London.

 

 

Keep it handy on your refrigerator or in your car to find the freshest, best tasting food

 

available close to home.

 

 

To get your copy of this free local food guide, visit one of the participating farms, your

 

community’s Municipal Office, Chamber of Commerce, library, farm market or through
