The call for more access to local foods is being answered by the Timmins Economic Development Centre.

Along with the town of Kapuskasing and the University of Guelph, a three year crop trials project is hoping to provide farmers with the research to grow and sustain local farms.

With the low cost of land and rising food costs, this program hopes to attract farmers from the south to build in Northern Ontario.

The project is currently in the planning stages and will start in the spring of 2016.
