Nourishing Communities

Fresh Food. Stronger Communities.

Everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy, locally produced food.

Through the New Glasgow Farmers Market’s Nourishing Communities program, your donation helps households across Pictou County access fresh, locally produced food while supporting the farmers and food producers who grow it.

Every donation strengthens our local food system, supports local businesses, and helps build a healthier, more connected Pictou County.

Why Your Support Matters

Food insecurity affects many households in our community, and rising food costs continue to make healthy eating more difficult for many families.

Nourishing Communities helps address food insecurity by providing Market Money that eligible households can use to purchase fresh, locally produced food and goods from vendors throughout the New Glasgow Farmers Market. Participants shop just like every other customer, giving them the dignity and freedom to choose the products that best meet their needs. Every purchase supports local farmers, food producers, artisans, and small businesses, strengthening our local food system and creating lasting benefits throughout our community.

When you donate, you’re helping:

  • provide fresh, healthy food to local households
  • support local farmers and food producers
  • strengthen our local economy
  • build a healthier, more connected community
