The P.E.I. Women’s Institute (WI) is celebrating the diverse flavours of P.E.I. with their Tell Your Food Story 2025 Contest showcasing local ingredients from the Island.

In partnership with the Department of Agriculture, the WI is presenting the finalists, including their favourite recipe and the reason why their dish is special and meaningful.

Each culinary creation includes at least three ingredients sourced from P.E.I.’s agriculture or fisheries such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, eggs, beef, pork, poultry, fish or shellfish.

In addition to this spotlight feature, the P.E.I. Women’s Institute is offering winners cash prizes.
