There are so many advantages to choosing local products at Co-op. A shorter trip from the producer to the grocery store means the product is fresher. The economic benefits of shopping local are circular – when local businesses thrive, so do their communities. And when you’re buying food that’s been grown and produced right here in Manitoba, you can expect it to be a high-quality, delicious product.

Co-ops across Western Canada work with local farmers and producers to bring their products from the farm to your fork. Co-op is there every step of the way – from production to the grocery store shelf – providing products and expertise on the farm, helping to create the end products, and introducing it at your Co-op Food Store. Valleyview Co-op is excited to share these great Manitoba-made products with our members and customers so you can take them home to share with your family.

Made in Manitoba

Co-op Gold Deli Salads

Processed in Saskatchewan with Western Canadian-grown vegetables, Co-op Gold Deli Salads are practically homemade. When you purchase the Creamy Potato or Potato & Egg salad, you’re choosing potatoes grown at the Wiebe Family Farm near Portage La Prairie in Manitoba. We’re committed to growing partnerships with local producers. Homestead Co-op has been working with the Wiebe family for more than 30 years – supplying the fuel that keeps the farm moving.

Berkshire Sired Pork

Working with a Western Canadian producer means that Co-op Berkshire Sired Premium Pork is completely traceable, which is an exciting differentiator in the fresh meat market. The hogs are from Valley Lea Farms in Ste. Anne, Manitoba. Thanks to a program started at Red River Co-op in Manitoba, Co-op is working with Valley Lea Farms and processor Winkler Meats to continue providing this premium product to Co-ops and their customers across Western Canada.

Co-op Gold Bird Food

Co-op’s proud farm-to-fork tradition isn’t just about feeding humans. Our much-loved feathered friends get their very own farm-to-feeder story with our comprehensive range of Canadian-sourced Co-op Gold Bird Food. Manitoba-based H&M Farms, which grows sunflowers, supplies fresh Canadian-grown seeds for the bird food blends.
Sun Valley Co-op has been fuelling the equipment moving through the fields at any of H&M Farms’ three locations for more than 40 years. In some fields, the seed, fertilizer and pesticide being applied may come from their local Co-op, too.

Farmery Estate Brewery

Brothers Chris and Lawrence Warwaruk grew up shopping at the Co-op their grandparents helped found. Now, they work with the Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op Grow and Fuel Teams to help grow the crops they use in their brewing process. You can find Farmery beverages like Auntie Bea’s Cold and Hard Brewed Teas and Virgin Beer Caesars on Co-op Food and C-Store shelves.

Bee Maid Honey

Made of more than 300 Western Canadian beekeepers with hives in the honey-producing region from Alberta to Manitoba, Bee Maid Honey Limited has been a co-operative since 1954, with roots tracing back to the 1930s. We proudly sell Bee Maid Honey at Co-op stores across Western Canada, and Clearview Co-op has proudly called one of their beekeepers, Art Bergmann, a Co-op customer for more than 50 years.

High-quality, local products. High-quality community connections. Valleyview Co-op is proud to stock products from Manitoba-based farmers and producers for the benefit of our members, customers and communities.
