@CBCDuck I’m listening to your discussion about Apples. Simple every apple has a slightly different Sugar and Acid content. Like a fine wine they finish on the palate differently for each person. Granny Smith isn’t a Canadian apple ugh!! So many better ones available 😂
Thank you again @ThornburyCraft, such great people, with so much passion and positive energy.🍎
We want #Ontario's 60 #cideries and our hundreds of #apple growers to thrive, create new jobs, attract new investments, and stimulate our growing #tourism sector!
Wise words from Ontario grower @barideout!

@TorontoStar Let me help you with some facts: Apples in Ontario are harvested in late August through to early November. The latest heat wave here in Ontario wouldn’t have been an issue. For harvest. Agriculture workers are protected by the same labour laws as all workers in Ontario.

Yesterday, I met with representatives of Ontario’s agri-food industry to discuss the upcoming meeting with Canada’s Agriculture Ministers in July. As Ontario’s new Minister of Agriculture, Food & Agribusiness, I will ensure their voices are heard at the national level. #ontag

Apples are a passion. They test everything. Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Psychology and Love. I’ve been testing new products this season for Crop Load Management, Biological Control of disease & pests. Thank you to the scientists that developed these products. @ontarioapples
A nice couple of days of picking! The recent rains have helped with size and the sun is making these peaches sweet! Fun Fact: Every bin and basket can be accounted for. The who picked it,where it was picked,when it was picked.Same for the packaging. Food Safety @ work.
