Created with support from the Golden Horseshoe Food and Farming Alliance, Greenbelt Farmers: Economic Network Case Studies, focuses on qualitative case studies of seven local Greenbelt farms. This report presents a series of case studies that highlight the economic contributions, diversity, breadth, and interconnected nature of agricultural and agri-food systems in the Greenbelt and the Greater Golden Horseshoe.
These case studies are based on interviews with seven farmers who represent a variety of commodities, different farm types, and sizes of operation across the Greenbelt. Develop a better understanding of Greenbelt’s agri-food system and its contribution to the economy through the stories of Almet Farms, Grimo Nut Nursery, Eek Farms, Tomar Farms, Kauzlaric Family Farms, Ovino Farms, and Joe Loewith and Sons Ltd.
