When you buy food grown in New Brunswick, directly from New Brunswick farmers
markets, you help support your local economy and in return you will get the freshest,
best-tasting food available from sources you know and trust.
.
Buying food from local New Brunswick farms, associations
and distributors means getting food when it’s at its prime. Fresh food
from local farms is healthier and consumers are becoming increasingly aware of
the ecological impact of their buying decisions. Many products food retailers
can sell more locally produced foods.
.
By choosing to buy and eat organic food, you are helping to create alternative
markets for our farmers, an opportunity to move away from global markets dominated
by transnational corporations and back to more local markets where they can once
again provide healthy food to members of their communities.
