Why buy local?

Canadians are increasingly interested in buying local food. Whether it’s for freshness, taste or environmental sustainability, consumers are looking for food grown closer to home. Today’s global food system is on the edge of a significant shift towards a more localized food economy. Ontario currently imports more food than it exports, which means that local food initiatives have room to expand.

Sunrise Potato Storage Ltd. sells farm-fresh potatoes directly to the consumer. Buying food locally benefits not only your health but the health of the environment and the local economy too. There are no regulations yet, however, that govern the use of the word “local.” Check to see whether the package indicates where a product has been grown or processed.

In Ontario, potatoes are one of the few vegetables that can be purchased fresh year-round. Sunrise’s storage facilities ensure that you can eat something fresh and local, even in the winter.
