What We Do

Local Matters envisions local, wholesome and delicious food as a way of life for all.

Local Matters wants to be part of creating a new paradigm that combine better access and educational opportunities about the benefits of local food with strategic community partnerships.  We also encourage our community to commit greater resources in a more thoughtful and intentional way to address the critical issues that we face in our current food system.

Our programs and partnerships were created to make sure that children and adults know where their food really comes from and what healthy, wholesome food is; to support our communities need for better access to healthy, local food and healthful ways to prepare it; and to entice our local farmers to grow more local food while helping them make a living wage while they do it!
