Fruits that are allowed to ripen on the vine taste better. Store-bought fruits are often artificially ripened with gas, and shipped long distances. Food direct from the farm is as fresh as it gets!

Need a reason to buy local?

When you buy local, it stays local. More jobs will be created in Manitoba and that benefits our community. Also, you get fresher products, and get to know exactly where they came from. https://t.co/tQcuKIuwwA
