Welcome to the 2009 Guide to Manitoba’s U-Pick Vegetables, Market Gardens and Roadside Stands.

This guide provides valuable information about the many wonderful fresh products available at U-Pick gardens, market gardens and roadside stands across the province. We have designed this year’s guide in the form of a map to make it easier for you to find some of the country’s freshest quality produce.

Make it a point to tour our lovely province this summer and indulge in the bounty to be found at Manitoba’s U-pick and market garden sites. The products are an excellent way to pack your summer meals with healthy, farm-fresh vegetables and fruit, direct from the grower to your table.

By visiting one of the many sites, you and your family will also have an opportunity to share in a wonderful experience, spending quality time together and enjoying the beautiful rural landscape. You’ll also be supporting local producers, growers and communities.

Keep this guide on hand as you enjoy the great tastes of a Manitoba summer and connect with those Manitobans who put fresh quality produce on our tables.
