Pumpkins are local too!

Many of us are increasing the local content in our fridges, freezers, cold rooms and cupboards. Remember that pumpkins are grown locally too!

So, whether you're buying them for eating or decorating, choose locally grown pumpkins. They're easy to find and will last longer (until you cut into them) because they're fresh off the vine, not fresh off the truck!

You can find your pumpkins, which by the way are as good in savoury dishes are they are in sweet ones (think pasta with pumpkin filling or pumpkin sauce), at Farmers' and Farm Markets, or at one of several roadside displays (farmgate) on practically any highway and back road in Canada.

Happy Pumpkin Season!
