Alliston, ON – Saturday, August 9, 2025 – Alliston Potato Fest is getting a fresh dose of local flavour as Gwillimdale Farms, one of Ontario’s largest and most trusted growers, packers and shippers of premium root vegetables, joins the celebration. With deep roots in farming and community pride, Gwillimdale is thrilled to be part of this beloved hometown tradition. As a long-standing champion of Ontario agriculture, Gwillimdale Farms will be on-site with an interactive, family-friendly booth designed to celebrate the potato, connect with the community, and highlight the farm’s commitment to freshness, flavour, and local pride.
As a vertically integrated operation based in Bradford and New Liskeard, Gwillimdale oversees every step of the process from planting and harvesting to washing, packing, and shipping, ensuring quality and consistency in every bite. While you’ll find their vegetables on grocery shelves across Canada and beyond, Gwillimdale is proud to stay connected to its local roots. Their produce may travel far, but Gwillimdale’s heart is still deeply grounded in the local community.
Our goal isn’t just to grow vegetables it’s to grow trust, to connect with people, and to build a healthier, more engaged community,” says Courtney Walker, Marketing & Communications Manager at Gwillimdale Farms. “The Alliston Potato Festival is the perfect opportunity to celebrate where we’re from and to share the passion and purpose behind every product we grow.”
