**UPDATE: Season Three of FARM TO FORK is coming in Spring 2026!
Stay tuned for more updates!**
FARM TO FORK returns just in time for spring, and for Waterloo Region’s “eat everything local” era!
Hosted by chef and local-food champion Nick Benninger, FARM TO FORK is a 6-part series that explores some of the best farms in Waterloo Region has to offer. Season two follows the spring thaw as it turns local fields into flavour. It’s the time of year when menus wake up, farm stands get busy, and everything just tastes… brighter.
“The edible world is coming back to life,” says Benninger—and you can feel it in every episode.
Six local farm gems are highlighted this season: Church Hill Farm, Appleflats Orchard, Stevanus Family Farm, Udderly Ridiculous, 3Gen Organics Family Farm and Willibald Farm Distillery and Brewery.
Benninger visits each farm, gets a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow great food, then cooks something up that lets those ingredients shine (often with a little fire involved 🔥).
For Benninger, spring truly begins with asparagus from Stevanus Family Farm. “It’s the first taste of spring,” he says, “and that first bite hits like a reset button after winter.”
Across the region, that farm-to-table connection continues everywhere: in butcher shops, on restaurant menus, and in kitchens where “local” isn’t a trend, it’s just how things are done. At places like Willibald’s, it all comes full circle with ingredients grown, foraged, and served right on the farm. And these full-flavour, full-circle moments are exactly what FARM TO FORK is all about.
