Get Involved in the Local Food Scene

Our North Iowa region has lots of ways to get involved in the local food scene. What would you add?

🥬Join a Local Food Coalition: Coalitions bridge relationships, tech, and business for a sustainable local food system—health, economic, and environmental gains. Learn about the North Iowa Local Foods Coalition.

🥬Join a Local Food Community: Connect with non-profits or memberships at a local or state level to expand your network. 

🥬Spread the Word: Do you love your local farmers market? Found a local product you can’t live without? Tell your friends! Invite your family! Word of mouth is the highest compliment for small farms!

🥬Share a Resource: Sharing is caring! Browse and share local food resources to help others get started growing food, trying a new recipe, or find a local CSA option!

🥬Volunteer: Find a local food bank or pantry, mutual aid group, community garden, or a farmer’s market looking for volunteers.

🥬 Join a Board: Help make important decisions about how organizations operate and make your voice heard.
