​Agriculture

Simcoe County has strong agricultural roots.  Many families have farmland that has been in their family since the 1800s, when the Crown deeded them the land.  Agriculture remains an important aspect of Simcoe County’s thriving economy.  The County’s diverse agricultural lands produce quality cash crops, livestock and the ingredients that make for first-class agrifood and agritourism businesses.
