Trade
Our primary crops grown for domestic and export markets include potatoes, onions, high bush blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. We pack and market these and other fruits and vegetables to the Atlantic Provinces, North Eastern USA, and Europe. Our quality control and research programs explore new crops, new products and improved processes as part of our commitment to continual improvement, quality, and safe food choices for our customers. We are dedicated to producing quality Country Magic products that will be part of our customer’s healthy lifestyle.
Our base of operations is Nova Scotia, one of the most strategic shipping locations in North America. Located on the east coast of Canada, Nova Scotia is a quick five-hour flight to and from Europe. The province’s excellent highway system offers a seamless connection with US roadways into major cities. The Port of Halifax which is only one hour away, has a deep water container access 12 month of the year. All of these options make Country Magic products accessible and convenient.
