THE CENTER OF A NEW LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM

We are an organization that specializes in farmer and food buyer friendly aggregation, processing, packaging and distribution. Our hub located in Highway 60 food corridor, makes it easy for the retail, institutional, and foodservice sectors to buy locally. The Local Food Center helps local farmers access wholesale markets they could not access easily before.

Bringing Farmers and Buyers Together

It’s no secret that todays’ consumer is demanding more from their food. Options for sustainably grown, locally sourced, and readily available produce are no longer a nice-to-have, but the new norm. This can mean many growers and purchasers are faced with tackling new challenges, building new relationships, and creating new systems for food sourcing and preparation. Local Food Center is here to help you connect the dots. Our mission: Ease the transition toward more locally sourced produce for both the grower and the food service professional…so you can continue to focus on what you do best.
