If you’d like to know more about where your food comes from, how it’s raised and what regeneration looks like in action, we’ve got good news—you can now use your Solar Dollars to book a tour of Hillview Farm in Haldimand County! This is Cory Van Groningen’s own farm where he and his family raise cattle, chickens, ducks, lamb and more. The first tour of the season will be on Wednesday, September 3rd starting at 1pm with additional tours on September 10th, 17th and 24th. Each farm tour will be approximately two hours in duration.

We love the summer months for plenty of reasons: the sunshine and warm weather, the beauty of nature in bloom, and delicious meals cooked outdoors. Another reason to love summer is our pasture-raised poultry—a delectable line of seasonal products that includes Olliffe’s pasture-raised chicken and pasture-raised duck. These products are raised here in Ontario and offer tender, delicious, flavourful meat—a true seasonal delicacy.

We love the August long weekend. The midway point of summer, it’s known for beautiful weather, fun in the sun and plenty of opportunities for rest and relaxation. Whether you’ll be camping at a provincial park, staying here in Toronto, visiting the cottage or lounging poolside, we hope you have a wonderful Civic Holiday!
