Welcome!
The Nova Scotia Produce Auction Feasibility Study is a project of Spirit Nova Scotia's (www.spiritnovascotia.ca) Local Food Team.
In our vision, Nova Scotia has rich top soil, clean air and water, resilient farm and fishing communities, and healthy, local food for all citizens. We engage and inspire all Nova Scotians to celebrate and protect this inheritance for future generations.
This project is also supported by the Organic Agriculture Centre of Canada (www.oacc.info) and has received funding from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through Agri-Futures, Nova Scotia's Adaptation Council.
The purpose of a produce auction is to provide a convenient wholesale outlet that complements existing wholesale or retail activities of growers, while providing an opportunity for new entrants and small growers to sell their produce without having to take on their own marketing. There are over 50 wholesale produce auctions in the United States and one in Southern Ontario, and they offer a venue for growers and buyers to come together several times a week during the growing season to buy and sell vegetables, fruits, flowers, nursery stock and transplants.
