Bruce County

Encompassing over 850 kilometers of freshwater coastline, stunning views of the Niagara Escarpment, and one of the most renowned hiking trails in the country, Bruce County is rarely first recognized as a lead contributor in Ontario’s agricultural sector. Nonetheless, nestled in the interior of this county’s 4,000 square kilometer boundary are over 3,500 farms, and a variety of agricultural processing, value-added, and agri-businesses support industries that collectively generate over $255 million in gross annual sales. Grain and oilseed production account for approximately 40% of Bruce County’s agricultural output commodities with prominent hay, winter wheat, soy, and corn, and canola productions. There is also a significant community of livestock producers in the region, with cattle farming accounting for another 40% of the county’s agricultural sector. In addition to its well-established traditional agricultural operations, an array of niche and tourist agri-ventures, such as wine-production and specialty animal breeding, are expanding across the county. With 8 welcoming municipalities, surreal Georgian Bay beauty, and plentiful agricultural opportunities, Bruce County is the perfect place for your farm, your family, and your business to thrive.
