Local is Better

Local produce & economy

Local produce is usually sold within a couple of days of being picked, so it reaches your kitchen far faster than imported vegetables. The fresher the food, the longer its shelf life — and the better it tastes.

Fresher, faster

Less time travelling means fresher produce with longer shelf life and better flavour on your customers’ shelves.

Stocked year-round

When Alberta’s season is on, we bring it straight from the farm. When it winds down, we source from across Canada and around the world so your shelves stay reliably stocked.

Backing local growers

We’re a proud supporter of Alberta’s farms and greenhouses, and the communities that grow with them.

LocalIncome, jobs and stronger communities

Buying local produce generates income and jobs throughout the economy and helps keep communities strong. When people buy from local farms, growers can reinvest in new crops, equipment, and better processes — the result is not just a stronger Alberta, but a healthier, happier community.
