“Local Foods” is a term used to describe both foods produced and consumed locally and those activities that support efforts to make connections between local foods producers and consumers. Visit the USDA's website: Know Your Farmer-Know Your Food.


Local foods are about relationships between people:
producers - those growing and marketing the food 
consumers - those purchasing and consuming the food 
community developers -  those helping to make or support connections between producers and consumers.

The links on this page are 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.
