About Local Foods
What are local foods?
“Local Foods” is a term used to describe both foods produced and consumed locally (with wide latitude in terms of the definition of local) and those activities that support efforts to make connections between local foods producers and consumers. In both cases, local foods are about relationships between people—those growing and marketing the food (producers), those purchasing and consuming the food (consumers) and those helping to make or support connections between producers and consumers (community developers). This Web site is designed to serve these three groups, with the goal of helping visitors quickly find items of greatest relevance to their areas of interest, but we expect that representatives of each of these interest areas will find information of value in each section. We encourage you to explore all sections and check back often, as will be updating this site regularly.
