Restaurants Canada’s show in Toronto featured dairy, beef, chicken and duck farmers telling how they care for their birds and cattle.
It was part of a weekend show at the Enercare Centre on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds in Toronto.
The “Ask the Farmer” panel included chicken farmer Scott Buchan, King Cole Ducks Ltd., Gilbrea Farm, which breeds beef cattle, and Sheldon Creek Dairy.
The group fielded questions ranging from general farming practices, animal care, and the evolution of farming today.
“Events like these are great opportunities for farmers to share our experiences on-farm and debunk a number of myths people may have about how chickens are raised in Ontario,” said Buchan.
“It’s important for restaurateurs, the foodservice industry, and consumers to understand that Ontario chicken farmers grow safe, healthy and high-quality chicken.”
