Your Culinary Adventure begins here
Welcome to our second edition of the Harvests of Haldimand
Local Food Guide.
Haldimand Countys 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 of the vine delicious!
Why eat a tomato that has traveled for days on a truck?
Fully ripened and bursting with favour, 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 isnt just about produce. Theres a wide
variety of great tasting food, including eggs, milk, cheese, meat,
honey, preserves and poultry waiting for you to discover. Youll
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 ofer
varieties of produce bred for taste and freshness rather than for
shipping and long shelf life.
Have Confdence in Our Food
Know where your food comes from.
How much do you know about your food? Local farmers take
pride in high quality food thats 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 Communities
Get to know your farmer.
When we buy from local farmers, we are supporting local
businesses and providing income for families in our community.
Lets keep our food dollars where they belongin 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 doesnt 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 environmentcleaner air and water, and farmland
thats preserved for future generations. Local products are also
comparably priced to produce picked elsewhere.

orn 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 (approximately 15 to 20 minutes) or until outside of husks are
burnt. Remove husks and season with butter and salt.

Get in touch with the seasons and explore your own backyard. Eating locally means eating whats in season. Heart warming foods like
root vegetable soups in the winter just make sense! Countless adventures can be found at local farms- many host festivals tours and food
samplings. Choose a destination and plan an inexpensive family adventure or a gourmet getaway.
Try something new!
