The Honourable Derrick Bragg, Minister of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture, will bring virtual greetings to the Cultivating Connections event tomorrow (Thursday, March 31) at 9:00 a.m. Through this event, the Provincial Government is partnering with Food and Beverage Atlantic and other organizations to bring together people who are making local food a success.

Cultivating Connections increases the awareness of the quality and variety of food produced locally and encourages participants to make connections with those in the industry, such as primary and secondary producers, chefs and restaurants, small- and large-scale retailers, the hospitality industry and farmers markets.
