The Economic Development and Tourism Department of Northumberland County, together with our project partners: Burnham Family Farm Market, Glover’s Farm Market, Northumberland Federation of Agriculture, the HKPR District Health Unit, and our five Community Farmer’s Markets, submitted an application to Ontario Market Investment Fund and the Eastern Ontario Development Program to help fund a promotional campaign called “Proudly Northumberland @ Home”.
Agriculture is an important part of our local economy, and through initiatives like this we help people recognize that the "Proudly Northumberland" symbol means that the product was grown or produced, right here at home; in our own communities, by our friends and neighbours.
