OCTA

Founded in 2007, the Grey Bruce Agriculture & Culinary Association (ACA) is a non-profit association dedicated to the promotion of – Buy Local! Buy Fresh! Grey Bruce – by linking Grey Bruce farmers, processors and restaurants to deliver an authentic culinary experience. ACA is supported by its members and funded in part by the Province of Ontario, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Grey and Bruce Counties and the surrounding municipalities.

ACA is overseen by a 7 member Board of Directors elected at the annual general meeting held each spring. The work of the Association is carried out by Board members, part time contract staff, and various volunteer committees. The Association applies for grants to hire staff to conduct research and implement specific events and projects. Members include an interesting and diverse array of farmers, restaurateurs, food processors, food distributors, farmers markets, tourist operations and many families choosing to support their community by buying local food.
