Spotlight On LOCAL FOOD SCENE
The region has a vibrant regional local food culture, strengthened by a central location within the state that houses and connects farms and food producers to thriving markets. A longstanding agricultural history with farming heritage, passion, and knowledge eager to pass on to the next generation and some of the best soil in the state, as well as a growing, young, producer community made up of over a hundred farmers and food producers are vital to the local food economy. The direct producer to consumer outlets include city-wide farmers’ markets, farm stands, CSA (Community Sustainable Agriculture) opportunities, and family friendly, beloved agro-tourist destinations.
With the high-quality selection of local breweries and restaurants that offer traditional and global cuisine featuring select local ingredients, the region has all the right elements for good food and a strong local food culture.
The region benefits from a local food vision for shortterm growth as laid out by the Local Foods Local Places Action Plan, which resulted from a 2019 community planning session of more than 80 stakeholders from across Lewiston Auburn’s producer, consumer, business, and municipal sectors. The plan, its continued progress, and ways to engage and support are available at the website of the Good Food Council of Lewiston-Auburn,
