Spotlight On LOCAL FOOD SCENE
If you’re choosing to stay to play, plan ahead! Area hotels, inns, and bed and breakfasts are often fully booked in advance of the festivals, Dempsey Challenge, and for Bates graduation and alumni celebrations.
What makes a vibrant regional local food culture? 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.
With a growing, relatively young, producer community made up of over a hundred farmers and food producers; direct producer to consumer outlets including City-wide farmers’ markets, farm stands, and CSA (Community Sustainable Agriculture) opportunities; family friendly, beloved agro-tourist destinations; and a high quality selection of local breweries and restaurants that off er traditional and global cuisine featuring select local ingredients, the region has all the right ingredients for good food and a strong local food culture.
Finally, we have a local food vision for short-term growth as laid out by the Local Foods Local Places Action Plan, the resulting 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, which has been providing anchor coordination www.goodfood4la.org.
