From grape to bottle — and straight to your table. 🍇🍷
New Brunswick is home to some truly delicious vineyards, and we’re so lucky to have passionate people turning local grapes into wines worth gathering for.

Tonight’s the perfect night to open a bottle, share a few laughs, and raise a glass to the flavours of home.

There’s nothing sweeter than enjoying locally crafted chocolate with your toes in the sand.

Next time you’re in Shediac, make a stop at Adorable Chocolat—a cozy little shop serving up handmade treats, including their famous chocolate lobsters.

Because honestly… who wouldn’t want to eat a chocolate lobster by the sea? 🦞💛

Support local. Snack happy.

New Brunswick summer honey has never tasted sweeter! 🍯☀️

Did you know the flavour of honey changes with the blossoms the bees visit? When they gather nectar from blueberry or apple blossoms, the honey takes on those fruity notes—it’s like tasting a little bit of summer in every spoonful.

So next time you reach for honey, go local.

What’s growing in your garden? If you’ve got garlic scapes, you’ve got the makings of a perfect summer pesto! 🌱✨

Blend those scapes with carrot tops (yes, really!) for a fresh, flavourful twist that’s as easy as it is delicious. Even better? Stop by your local farmers’ market to gather everything you need for the ultimate garden-to-table pesto pasta dish.

Because the best meals start close to home. 💚

It’s National French Fry Day! 🍟🥔 And here in New Brunswick, we know the secret to crispy, golden, delicious fries—it all starts fresh from the field.

A big thank you to the hardworking farmers who grow the potatoes we love, season after season. Because of them, we get to celebrate today and every day.

What better way to mark the occasion than by visiting our summer team at Potato World for the French Fry Day Market? Come for the fries, stay for the flavour—and the fun!
