Farm to Market

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA)and the Ontario Produce Marketing Association (OPMA) have designed this resource to aid in the understanding of how fresh produce is distributed from farm to market. Inside you will find a description of the four major steps required in making fresh produce available to consumers. Included are various growing methods, packing and packaging options, storage and shipping practices and various points of sale locations.

By learning about the extensive process involved to bring fresh produce
from the farm to their tables,we hope students will gain an appreciation for
vegetables and fruit and give Canada’s top food group a more prominent
place in their diets!
