At Red River Co-op, we love local! To us, local means Manitoban. We are proud to carry over 600 locally made products on our shelves, in our delis and meat counters and now is the time that our locally grown produce is being harvested. Over the next couple of months, at Red River Co-op food stores you’ll find a huge assortment of Manitoba-grown veggies and greens at Red River Co-op food stores.

Did you know that 100% of the ground beef sold at our food stores is raised and produced in Manitoba? In addition to the plethora of farm fresh produce, look for the Proudly Manitoban signage in our meat departments to find Manitoban product for your grills and dinner tables.
