The Prince George Farmers' Market, Nancy O's Restaurant and Terri McClymont are the local winners of the We Heart Local Awards, presented by the B.C. Agriculture Council.
With more than 37,000 online voters weighing in and 337 nominees in 15 categories, the second annual event was a success, said Monica Krake of The Social Agency.
We Heart Local, formerly known as Buy Local. Eat Natural., is a not-for-profit community forum that aims to promote and bring together B.C.'s local food products, growers and producers.
McClymont, a longtime Prince George resident, won the grand prize awarded to an online voter, of a luxurious three-night stay at Taku Resort and Marina on Quadra Island for two, valued at over $2,000.
