The Food Miles Challenge

I pledge to discover and enjoy more local products in support of my environment, economy and community.

How would you best describe you current purchasing habits?




Currently, the percentage of my food that is produced in New Brunswick is:




Please check all items you currently buy locally (all are available in
New Brunswick!)



Cucumbers Strawberries Cabbage Herbs Wheat Pork
Peppers Blueberries Cheese Nuts Lettuce Garlic
Apples Milk Jam Spinach Onions Beef




How can I reduce my Food Miles?

  • Buy organic when possible. Shop wisely and make a difference by choosing local foods that benefit your local producers. See a list at: www.fallsbrookcentre.ca/foodmiles
  • Encourage your grocer to carry more local produce. They can't respond to your desires if they don't know about them.
  • Visit your local farmer's market and introduce your family to the people who produce your food.
