Find local food

For this challenge, we are defining local food as being grown in Wisconsin or within 100 miles of your home. So how do you find food that fits this definition of local?

• Most Wisconsin communities are included in a regional Farm Fresh Atlas. These regional food guides include farms, farmers’ markets, restaurants, stores and other businesses that sell local food and use sustainable production and business practices.
• The Savor Wisconsin web site links you to Wisconsin food products and services. It includes listings for farmers’ markets, restaurants, food co-ops and specialty retail stores.
• GrocersBuyLocal is the offical website and database of Wisconsin grocers who are purchasing, or are interested in purchasing, locally grown food.
• Buy Fresh, Buy Local Southern Wisconsin lists restaurants that serve local food.
• The Wisconsin Local Food Network website includes a directory of local food initiatives and projects in Wisconsin.
• The US Department of Agriculture provides a listing of farmers markets across the country.
• Check other websites such as localharvest.org and the Eat Well Guide for community supported agriculture farms and markets across our region.
