Georgina is paving the way in sustainable agriculture.
Georgina has more than 100 farms covering 21,220 acres of farmland and is a major contributor to the York Region's agriculture sector. The Town has many farms that sell directly to consumers, most of them selling unprocessed agricultural produce through farm gate sales, stands and kiosks—View York Region's 2021 Census of Agriculture Summary for more statistics.
Grown in Georgina
Grown in Georgina is a campaign that promotes local exploration of agri-businesses. It includes promoting the Georgina Farmers' Market and the Field to Table farm tour. The campaign aims to position Georgina as a thriving agriculture community and increase awareness of the Town's agri-food businesses. The Town of Georgina captured a platinum MarCom Award for the Grown in Georgina campaign in 2021. Platinum awards are presented to entries that have exceeded the highest standards of the industry.
Beyond the Fields
The Town of Georgina, in collaboration with local filmmaker Quinn Corkal, is proud to announce the release of a new short documentary, Beyond the Fields. This short film is an extension of the Town’s Grown in Georgina campaign, celebrating the dedication and contributions of Georgina’s agricultural community. The documentary will officially be available for public viewing on Nov. 28, 2024 at 8 p.m.
The film provides an intimate look into the lives of local farmers who play a vital role in sustaining the community, promoting field-to-table initiatives and strengthening Georgina’s economy. The project was made possible with the support of Central Counties Tourism.
