Your food choices make a big difference. The benefits of eating local go far beyond your dinner plate to support:
Communities
Eating local keeps profits here at home. Local producers support their communities by creating jobs, buying from local businesses, giving to community-based non-profits and keeping rural areas vibrant.
Health
The quality and freshness of local foods can’t be beat. Our fruit, veggies, meat, eggs and other New Brunswick products are at their peak when you buy from local farm gates, farmers’ markets, pick-your-own farms and grocery stores.
The Environment
The fewer miles your meal is shipped, the better. Local food travels less and needs less packaging, saving big on greenhouse gas emissions.
