5th Annual African Heritage Month Celebration Gala (Membertou)

Matthew Bragg is a senior manager at Nova Scotia’s Oxford Frozen Foods, the world’s largest supplier of frozen wild blueberries. The company’s head office is situated in Oxford, the wild blueberry capital of Canada. Oxford Frozen Foods markets roughly 50 per cent of the North American wild blueberry industry. Its key customers are jam, yogurt and cereal companies. “We say we’re an ingredient supplier,” Bragg says. “It’s one of the best ingredients in the world if you’re running a manufacturing business. There’s no pit, you don’t have to peel it, you just eat it exactly the way it is, and it is quite honestly one of the healthiest things in the world you could eat.”
