This event will create an opportunity for people to sample the wonderful foods that are available in the early spring in Nova Scotia, and to learn more about the importance of sustainable local food. Many of the foods we eat travel great distances - at great cost to the environment, to our health, and to the Nova Scotian economy. Every job in agriculture in NS contributes to our sustainability, supports additional jobs and helps retain our rural heritage.
