From apple growing to roadside markets, Brighton, Ontario's agriculture sector includes:

• Farmers' markets

The Ontario Agri-Food Venture Centre - Northumberland is a not-for-profit, small-batch food-processing facility. The Centre supports fresh fruit and vegetable value-adding opportunities to increase farm revenue. The facility also helps "foodies" with recipe development while staff work with food-processing start-up companies and expansions, in Ontario, to progress Research and Development (R&D), test batches and facilitate small-batch co-packing.
