According to the 2016 Census of Agriculture, Grey County added young farmers at more than double the national rate with a 20% increase in farmers under 35. We saw a 61% increase in gross farm receipts between 2011 and 2016.
We’re seeing innovative agri-food production techniques adopted especially in our apple and dairy sectors, and Grey County foods including beef, grain, lamb, apples and even compressed hay (for animal feed) are being exported to destinations around the world.
The Made in Grey food brand was launched at The Royal Winter Fair in November 2019, and helps consumers recognize Grey County products at the farm gate and on store shelves.

When I was growing up, I could go anywhere and do anything on our farm. Now my grandkids have that freedom here. We grew up skiing at Georgian Peaks and we’re lucky enough to share those same slopes with our family today.”
