Local Food in Sault Ste. Marie, ON

Sault Ste. Marie boasts a wonderfully independent local food scene that thrives amidst the breathtaking landscapes of northern Ontario and the Algoma district. The region's unique northern setting has inspired a tight-knit community of ecological farmers, maple syrup producers, and wild-foragers. Local creators focus passionately on natural, chemical-free methods, providing the community with excellent pasture-raised meats, hearty cold-weather root vegetables, and raw forest honey. "The Soo's" vibrant community markets serve as essential, warm gathering places where neighbors catch up and buy directly from the land stewards feeding the north. It is a proud, deeply resilient food environment where protecting the stunning wilderness goes hand-in-hand with building local food security.
