Feast On® is a certification program for restaurants and food producers in Ontario.
To become certified, businesses are required to provide proof that their procurement and/or production practices reflect a minimum of 25% Ontario grown or raised ingredients - that means when you see the Feast On® logo, you know you're getting a certified taste of local.

Feast On® is managed by the Culinary Tourism Alliance. Our goal is simple: We want more businesses to be sourcing, serving and celebrating Ontario grown food (and drink!).
Supporting our local economy is important; especially for the restaurant and foodservice industry. That's why we're working to make it easy for travelers and locals alike to identify restaurants and experiences that showcase Ontario grown and made ingredients. Through our programming, we connect chefs directly to farmers to support the development of sustainable local sourcing systems. As a result, the program acts as a pan-provincial platform from which chefs, farmers and diners can share Ontario's local food identity.
The average menu at a Feast On Certified restaurant consists of 54% Ontario grown food.
The average spend on Ontario ingredients by a Certified restaurant was over $193,000.
There are currently over 170 actively Certified restaurants in Ontario!
LOCAL FOOD ISN'T JUST ABOUT THE LOCAL CHEFS.
That's why we have Feast On ® program Purveyors and Partners.
Feast On® Purveyors are the growers, producers, suppliers and distributors working towards putting more local food on local plates. From inland shrimp farming to fermented honey products, they’re the backbone of Ontario’s regional food communities. They’re building our food culture and creating new opportunities for the agriculture and hospitality industries to work together, everyday.
Feast On ® Partners are organizations who support Ontario farmers and producers by providing a conduit to Ontario products, and education to increase consumer appetite for local products in the foodservice, hospitality and tourism industries.
