Thank you again @ThornburyCraft, such great people, with so much passion and positive energy.🍎
We want #Ontario's 60 #cideries and our hundreds of #apple growers to thrive, create new jobs, attract new investments, and stimulate our growing #tourism sector!
Ontario is investing up to $6M to help the province’s craft cideries reach more local consumers 🍎
Funding will be used to strengthen marketing activities that will position the sector for growth. Cheers to that!

Yesterday, I met with representatives of Ontario’s agri-food industry to discuss the upcoming meeting with Canada’s Agriculture Ministers in July. As Ontario’s new Minister of Agriculture, Food & Agribusiness, I will ensure their voices are heard at the national level. #ontag

Thank you @L_MacAulay for joining us for a roundtable breakfast discussion this morning at #COFS23. Today plants the seed of a collaborative and bountiful relationship towards the betterment of #ontag
Apples are a passion. They test everything. Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology and Love. I’ve been testing new products this season for Crop Load Management, Biological Control of disease & pests. Thank you to the scientists that developed these products. @ontarioapples
A nice couple of days of picking! The recent rains have helped with size and the sun is making these peaches sweet! Fun Fact: Every bin and basket can be accounted for. The who picked it,where it was picked,when it was picked.Same for the packaging. Food Safety @ work.
I hope your day is starting off Peachy!! #ontariotenderfruit @OntTenderFruit
One of the busiest and anxious time of the summer harvest is Tart Cherry Harvest. Heat and Rain aren’t our friends, watching the next generation getting it done is so awesome. @OntTenderFruit @YourMorning
