Durham Region is home to large tracts of prime agricultural land and is one of Ontario's leading agricultural producers. Pickering is proud to contribute to that sector. About two-thirds of our total land area - about 37,560 acres - is rural. We're home to a variety of farms, including dairy, field crop, sod, berries, apple, beef, greenhouse, tree and horse farms.
