You may have seen Made in Grey signs posted in local restaurants, stores and farmers' markets, identifying local food that is sold and served there. The brick-and-mortar members are easy to find.
Looking for authentic farm-to-table experiences? Many of our restaurants serve seasonal local food with imagination and pride. Our list includes dine-in restaurants of all kinds, plus stores, markets and food trucks offering made-from-scratch prepared food to take away and enjoy.
Perhaps you've noticed a bright green and white sign at some of your favourite restaurants, stores or farmers' market stalls. Maybe you've wondered what it is all about. Food, yes... but what else? Made in Grey is more than just food, it’s a community!
