According to the Ontario Turkey Producers' Marketing Board website, the second-largest production area in Ontario is "district 2", made up of Perth, Wellington and Huron Counties and the Region of Waterloo where there are 42 producers with more than 22 million kilograms of basic quota. Next highest production area is District 1 made up of Middlesex (home of turkey giant Cuddy Farms), Lambton, Oxford, Elgin, Essex and Kent with more than 28 million kilograms of quota among 55 producers. The family -operated integrated turkey growing and processing company Hayter's Turkey Products Inc. at Dashwood will be busy producing about 40,000 birds for Christmas tables from Chatham in the south to Wiarton and Meaford in the north and east to areas east of Toronto, says Tom Hayter, one of several members of the family who still work in the company started by his father Elmer. All those birds will be grown on their own farm. The Hayters' busy Christmas season follows on the heels of the U.S. Thanksgiving rush to supply customers on the American side of the border. To the north, there's a turkey processing plant in Hanover run by P&H Foods, a division of Parrish and Heimbecker Ltd. Cuddy 1?oods processes thousands of turkeys at various plants including one in Dublin on the Huron -Perth border. Stuffing for that turkey could be a challenge under the 100 -mile rule. While there are many local bakeries and you can make bread yourself, most bread is made using flour from high -protein wheat from western Canada. However for those in the southern portion of midwestern Ontario, Arva Flour Mills just north of London does make both bread Flours and pastry flours from Ontario - grown wheat. Run by the Mathews family, this is a fascinating family- -owned business going after niche markets including organic flours and the mill is still powered by the water of Medway Creek as it has been since 444 1I • /4 ri �.
