Spotlight On LOCAL FOOD ECONOMY
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.
