Are you a Product of Newfoundland?

Toutons? Mummers? RDF? If you know, you know.

Product of Newfoundland

Discover the history and folklore of Newfoundland and Labrador. Shipwrecks, ghost ships, legends, true crime, and strange true stories await.

I don’t need last names to know who Joey and Danny are and I can find my way from Happy Adventure to Misery Point in the fog. My morning comes a half hour earlier and any day without ‘RDF’ is good. I’ve seen a mummer, tasted toutons and know that bakeapples don't grow on trees because I’m a product of this place.
