2018 Snapshot of Ontario Organic Acreage
Field crops make up the majority of Ontario organic agriculture, with soybeans, corn and wheat making up most of the organic field crop acreage. Hay, pasture, forages and other natural areas are the second highest acreage, supporting our livestock industries. Specialty production is largely made up of maple production. Fruits and vegetables made up approximately 3.5% of Ontario’s organic acreage in 2018. In 2018, the top organic fruits grown were wine grapes and apples, and the top vegetables grown were tomatoes, sweet corn and potatoes.
