Kings — Hants, ns

Agriculture is the main industry, particularly apple and pear farming, with the Kentville Research and Development Centre a large regional employer. Value-added products such as wine, cider, craft beer, cheese, malted grains, along with their associated agriculture, are becoming increasingly important to the riding.

The area’s many vineyards are influencing its reputation as one of Canada’s up-and-coming winery destinations. The unique wines being uncorked include Marechal Foch and L’Acadie Blanc.
