The results are in for the Spirit Nova Scotia Local Food Award! The award winners were announced at various locations of the Select Nova Scotia Incredible picnic on August 24. The awards, sponsored by Spirit Nova Scotia, a broad-based, province wide citizens group committed to celebrating the spirit of Nova Scotia, are designed to promote the production, marketing and consumption of fresh local foods in Nova Scotia.

Producer category: Jeremy Frith & Sue Brown, Mountain Meadow Farm, Baddeck, NS
Business category: Sean Gallagher of Local Source Market, Halifax, NS
Non-profit Category: Kathy Aldous & Hazel Dill, with Dr. Arthur Hines School, Friends of Harmony Park, and the Hants Shore Community Health Centre for the Dr. Arthur Hines Elementary School Garden, Summerville, NS
