Feeding Farm Show Crowds

Ontario Corn Fed Beef and the “There’s No Taste Like Home” mobile kitchen unit were big hits at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show and the 2010 International Plowing Match and Rural Expo.

For the first time, people attending these events had the opportunity to buy Ontario Corn Fed Beef from the trailer.

“It’s gone extremely well, we had a huge first day,” said Jim Clark, executive director of the Ontario Cattle Feeders’ Association of the response to the Corn Fed Beef sales during the first day of the Outdoor Farm Show near Woodstock. “People are responding to it very well and it’s good to see.”
