"Winter Fresh" Local Food Suppers!

The Winter Fresh campaign begins with 12 Select Nova Scotia Community Suppers being held in schools, church halls and community centres across the province. This is the third year for the local food suppers, which are open to the public and a great way to enjoy local food in the winter. 

For more information on the suppers, check out our event listings page. 

Whether it's the farmer who brings local produce to market or the baker who makes local bread, knowing the story about our food contributes significantly to our enjoyment of a meal.

Cranberry Pear Chutney

Say I Love You to Leftovers! Nova Scotia cranberries are available fresh during the short windo of the fall harvest, but then can be found in the freezer section all year round. This vibrant chutney is delicious with roasted meats, or on tomorrow's turkey sandwich.
