Just a short drive east of Toronto, Durham Region welcomes visitors with its mix of rolling farmland, charming small towns and a touch of urban energy. It’s a place where country charm and city sophistication come together, offering experiences for every taste.
Thanks to its fertile soil, lake-moderated climate and strong collaborations across the food chain, Durham has become a powerhouse in Ontario’s agriculture scene. The region is home to the province’s leading apple producer, the largest commercial blueberry farm east of Toronto and several celebrated wineries. From crops and livestock to orchards and vineyards, Durham’s agricultural landscape is as diverse as it is abundant.
Local farmers, chefs and markets proudly showcase this bounty, bringing fresh seasonal food just steps from the city. Here you’ll find everything from strawberries and apples to pumpkins, wine and even Christmas trees, harvested close to home and sold at farm stands and markets across the region.
