The Manitoba government continues to implement the recommendations of the Small Scale Food Manitoba working group to support the growth and sustainability of Manitoba’s small-scale food sector.
Manitobans are invited to take home and enjoy farm-fresh produce, new local food products and many other items from one of the dozens of farmers’ markets opening across the province.
The launch of the annual farmers’ market season is a perfect opportunity for consumers to shop for locally produced foods and discover the real great taste of Manitoba.
The Province of Manitoba is providing $32,300 to the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market Co-op to explore development opportunities that will help ensure its sustainability and manage future growth Premier Greg Selinger announced as the popular marketplace in the St. Norbert community opened for the 2010 season.
Farmers’ market sites in Manitoba will soon see upgrades supported by $45,000 in funding from the province, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Stan Struthers announced.
Manitobans can enjoy more of their favourite locally grown and produced foods this summer, under new guidelines allowing farmers’ markets to open for more days, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives Minister Rosann Wowchuk and Health Minister Theresa Oswald announced.
