Welcome!

Oakville Sustainable Food Partnership, (OSFP), is a non profit organization working to increase local sustainable food production and marketing in Oakville. Sustainable agriculture is good for the earth, good for people and good for communities.

Locally grown food is thousands of miles fresher. Buying from local farms retains people with food-raising expertise on agricultural land. This also ensures that future generations will enjoy seeing open fields and grazing lands with lots of wildlife.

 Eating foods raised without chemical additives, long distance transportation and long term storage is healthier for people and the environment. Eating more foods produced near your home offers an adventure in flavor and connects you to the landscape.

Sustainable agriculture is resource saving. OSFP promotes improving the soil with organic methods and raising animals naturally on the land. OSFP encourages a return to eating heritage foods and plants and animals bred over time to perform well in our climate.

OSFP's main focus for 2009 is the Harbourside Organic Farmers Market.
