Scott Davidson:Carrot Fest provides an opportunity to recognize the vegetable

Carrot Fest provides an opportunity to recognize the vegetable that has supported families, contributed to livelihoods, and brought visibility to the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury. Grown in the Holland Marsh, our carrots are more than just a crop; they represent a significant aspect of our identity.

This festival encompasses more than just carrots; it highlights the significance of our land and community, as well as the unique spirit that defines this area.

It honors the farmers and growers whose dedication transforms the fertile soil into food for the nation. It also emphasizes the community, which is built on hard work, enriched by tradition, and focused on a promising future.

We appreciate the Holland Marsh Growers Association for allowing us to participate in distributing 10,000 complimentary carrots to visitors and neighbors during this enjoyable weekend.
