Prince Edward Island culture is steeped in tradition and this greatly applies to our food. Prince Edward Island is home to generations of family farmers, fishers, producers, and growers. Years of experience and careful attention to the province's farm lands have made the red soil rich and fertile, ideal for raising hearty and healthy produce and livestock. As well, the crisp, clean waters surrounding Prince Edward Island have been producing fresh, top quality seafood, shellfish and lobster for centuries. Fresh is more than just a word on Prince Edward Island, it is a way of life. Be it produce, meat or seafood, chances are good the buyers and sellers are friends or neighbours. Prince Edward Island's small size has always had its advantages; you need not travel far to enjoy local specialties or to sell or trade your own. Less travel time equals fresher products and stronger communities. Prince Edward Island truly celebrates its food. From fine-dining establishments where local food is always a part of the menu, to annual festivals like the International Shellfish Festival and Fall Flavours, to traditional lobster dinners and strawberry socials, there is no place on Prince Edward Island where you can't partake in some genuine Prince Edward Island culinary culture. And don't be afraid to get involved! Prince Edward Island is an active place with no shortage of hands-on activities. From digging fresh vegetables yourself, deep sea fishing, picking apples, or making your own chocolates, it can all be experienced on Prince Edward Island. Enjoying our fresh local food is an experience Islanders are more than willing to share. We invite you to celebrate PEI Flavours – Where Food and Culture Come to Life! |
