Local Harvest

Please check out Local Harvest. Slow Food Detroit is excited to be able to share this wonderful resource with you. We have had numerous requests about how to get connected to your local farmer. Well, Local Harvest is your best bet to get connected because, just as their website states, "Local Harvest is America's #1 organic and local food website. We maintain a definitive and reliable "living" public nationwide directory of small farms, farmers markets, and other local food sources. Our search engine helps people find products from family farms, local sources of sustainably grown food, and encourages them to establish direct contact with small farms in their local area." They also have an online store.

Local Harvest was founded in 1998, and is now the number one informational resource for the Buy Local movement and the top place on the Internet where people find information on direct marketing family farms. We now have about 17000 members, and are growing by about 20 new members every day. Through our servers, our website and those of our partners serve about three and a half million page views per month to the public interested in buying food from family farms.

Slow Food Detroit is very excited that Local Harvest has teamed up with Slow Food USA and our Ark of Taste project. The Slow Food USA Ark of Taste is a catalog of over 200 delicious foods in danger of extinction. By promoting and eating Ark products we help ensure that they remain in production and on our plates. Local Harvest lists growers and producers of these rare breeds and seeds throughout the United States.
