Agriculture is more than an industry in Grey County, it's a way of life! With over three thousand farms and more than half a million farmed acres of land Grey is the number one producer for hay, apples, sheep and lambs and the number two producer of cattle in all of Ontario!*
Agriculture production is not just limited to the traditional farming commodities. In Grey, farms also produce more exotic foods like buffalo, emu, wild boar and rare mushrooms.
Honey, maple syrup, fruits and vegetables, organic produce and various other home grown/made products find their way to farmers' markets and farm gate roadside stands where you can literally taste the freshness that rural life brings!
If you want to get up close and personal, there are a number of Farm Bed and Breakfast operations in Grey County.
