LOCAL FOOD IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR OUR FAMILY & OUR COMMUNITY

Local produce is the freshest produce you can buy. It is picked when it is fully ripe and delivered to you quicker than produce imported from another province, country, or continent. Imported produce is picked weeks before it is ripe, and often, the nutrients, taste, texture, and colour have not fully developed, which can result in the produce being gassed to create a pleasing, healthy appearance to the consumer.

Is local produce really more nutritious?

When it comes to fresh food, local is most often a much more nutritious choice… By becoming aware of the food we eat, we eat healthier food and less processed food with added sugar, fat and preservatives.
