Celebrating Local Flavours was the theme of the evening kickoff to the 2011 Direct Farm Marketing Conference held in Portage la Prairie March 4 and 5. Twenty direct marketers of fine jellies, greenhouse-grown greens, artisanal baked goods, wines, gourmet sausages and other fine Manitoba-made foods and beverages brought their wares for the public to sample.
