Solar Dollar Rewards
At Harvest to Gather, we understand that there may be a disconnect between your values, the food on your plate and the impact its production has on the environment—the result of industrialized farming. We also know that there’s a better way to produce high quality, delicious food and support a more resilient local food system.
We are trained in holistic management and are dedicated to educating the public as we promote and exemplify holistic management in farming and food production. Your Solar Dollars help make that happen—here’s how you can get started. If you have any questions, please contact us!

You can redeem your Solar Dollars for online or in-store discounts on your favourite products as well as exclusive experiences like farm tours, where you'll see firsthand how your choices can make a positive impact on the ecology of Ontario.

I had no idea there was such variance between farms regarding soil, grass, bugs etc. I loved learning that literally every choice the farmer makes causes a reaction that can affect the other variables. I loved seeing the pastured chickens and learning about why they are different colours and why they get moved so often.
