For many people, harvest time is when local foods really hit their radar. And who can blame them – country fairs, ripe, delicious produce, Thanksgiving dinner… these are things we all look forward to.
But choosing Atlantic can be just as exciting once the cooler weather comes. In fact, your Co-op has tons of great Atlantic choices that can bring great tastes your family loves all through the year.
As the region's local and Atlantic food leader, Co-op is now proud to introduce Eat Atlantic Thursdays! It's a friendly reminder to all Atlantic Canadians to make food from here a central part of your diet all through the year.
