Ontario's greenhouse sector isn't a niche agricultural story. It's a trade resilience story. An advanced manufacturing story. A food and agricutlure security story.

Bring a fresh, local touch to your Easter table this spring 🌷
Our latest OFA Home Grown news release highlights how choosing locally grown flowers is a simple way to celebrate the season while supporting local growers. Tulips, for example, are in peak season just in time for Easter, making them an easy and vibrant choice.

It’s National #Poinsettia Day!
Join us in thanking the #horitculture heroes who have been tirelessly working to grow these beautiful plants for us to enjoy. 💚
Said to symbolize good cheer and success, we recognize the long hours, attention to detail and care required for them to thrive.
Thank you also to the organizations in #Ontario who work with us to keep these workers safe.
