Like many in the Town of Essex, Leslie and Doug grew up on family farms and have a passion for local food. When visitors stop by their road-side stand "The Fruit Wagon", they won't hesitate to share their love and knowledge about the fruits and vegetables they produce.
From farm to fork our agriculture industry is as diverse as its talent. It has a strong combination of all facets of food manufacturing, which includes processing, packaging, warehousing, distribution, retailing and food service. Click here to check out some of our farms and orchards.
Stretching from the centre of Essex County to the north shore of Lake Erie, the Town of Essex is uniquely positioned on the 42nd parallel, a circle of latitude shared with northern California, the French Riviera, and Rome, Italy. It’s no wonder why so many vineyards are located here, or that they grow some of the best grapes in Ontario. Click here to check out our local wineries.
Cutting-edge research being performed by an impressive network of world-leading food research and development institutions and companies has strengthened Essex’s position as a leader in the industry. These and other advantages make Essex a great place for value-added food and beverage processing companies.
