Ontario pepper farmer backs food banks

One of Ontario's largest greenhouse bell pepper producers is planting seeds that he hopes will put an abundance of fresh produce on the tables of tens of thousands of hungry Ontarians. Peter Quiring, founder and President of Nature Fresh Farms, a Leamington-based greenhouse operation, is donating half a million pounds of peppers this year to feed Ontario's growing numbers of hungry families, after connecting with Hamilton Food Share through a Hamilton-based rehab centre called Turning Point. Once fully operational, the pepper donation initiative will be the largest giving program of fresh fruits and vegetables in the country
