Chances are, you and your friends, family and colleagues have talked about how important supporting local producers, farmers and restaurants is to you.

But how many restaurants are truly committed to it? Sure some places might use local veg, but then they import everything else. It’s important that we support Ontario’s hard working farmers.

That’s why you need to know about FeastON. 

The FeastON Manifesto is simple:

1. To procure Ontario food and drink whenever possible.

2. To track and trace Ontario food and drink purchases as close to the point of origin as possible.

3. To identify the provenance of Ontario food and drink on the menu.

4. To develop Ontario’s culinary identity by celebrating regional tastes and championing local, seasonal ingredients.

5. To educate the public about Ontario food and drink and to bring further awareness to its strong agricultural sectors.

There are 20 restaurants, caterers and stores in Toronto with the FeastON designation. That means that these restaurants have provided proof of procurement of Ontario products to become a member and they are committed to buying Ontario food and beverages.

You’ll know them by the decal in the window and the FeastON wooden spoon somewhere inside.
