Our Local Food program facilitates the production, marketing, and consumption of food grown, caught, or raised in our community. We work to support local farmers with research-based education on marketing their products, help consumers access fresh, healthy local foods, and foster connections to build a better food network that encourages the economic and environmental benefits of eating local.
