Local Food Strategic Plan

Grey County is an agricultural hub. Food production, food processing and agri-culinary tourism play an essential role in our local economy. Grey County is developing a Local Food Strategic Plan to identify ways of supporting local food projects. Our goal is to understand how food businesses operate with each other, to develop resources and encourage co-operation and partnerships in the sector.
