The Really Local Harvest Coop

The Really Local Harvest Coop is a horticultural cooperative of about thirty farmers from the South East region of New Brunswick. Its mandate is to promote locally-harvested produce to consumers and sound agricultural practices among farmers.

When you go to the Farmers’ Market or directly to the farm stand to buy the locally-produced goods, you establish a privileged contact with the producers who offer their vegetables, small fruits, meat and poultry, cheese, and other fresh produce from the region.

Really Local Harvest Coop is committed to support farmers who adopt environmentally-friendly practices in order to provide healthy food to your family and contribute to the sustainable development of our rural communities.

AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
Healthy environmental practices

Our farmers are concerned about the quality of the environment they live in and in which they operate their business. They adopt more and more strategies, namely integrated insect management aimed at reducing the use of pesticides, Environmental Farm Plans, crop rotation and green manure. All these measures contribute in reducing the impact of agriculture on the natural environment. Animal farming is done without hormones or antibiotics and small-scale farming allows for animal-friendly conditions. Some members of the Really Local Harvest Coop are certified Eco-Logik, a label given to farmers who reduce their chemical input, while other members produce foods without any chemical input and are therefore certified organic.
