How You Can Support Local Farmers
in Newfoundland & Labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador farmers work year-round to produce safe and nutritious local food while caring for their land and animals.
The choices you make every day — where you shop, what you buy, and how you talk about food — help ensure agriculture remains strong in our province for generations to come.
Why Supporting Local Farmers Matters
Newfoundland and Labrador produces only a portion of the food consumed in the province. Supporting local farmers helps strengthen food security, supports rural communities, and keeps more food production here at home.
Local farms also create jobs, care for the land, and contribute to vibrant communities across the province.
When you choose local food, you are directly supporting Newfoundland and Labrador farm families and strengthening the local economy
