Needless to say, there is way more land suitable for agriculture in NB than there is actually under cultivation. A lot of this is actually in the vacant middle of the province. Other areas include the southeast, inland Charlotte County, and, of course, the northwest of the province. |
That's the cold-weather crop map. The corn/soy, grape, and apple ones are quite a bit more interesting.

Grape areas form a wide arc from St Stephen to Geary to Hampton. Apples are clustered around Fredericton, the Grand Lake area, and Sussex. Corn and soy, the area between Tracy/Minto/Gagetown.
