Food is fresher when it’s grown locally.

That’s why the U.P. Food Exchange has launched its Farm Fresh Directories Initiative.

The U.P. food exchange offers resources for farmers, businesses, and individuals that want to participate in the local food system.

Food projects of all kinds, including policy work, community education, food safety, business development, farm to school, and more.

She said that if you can’t make it to the farmers’ markets, Econo Foods carries local farm products too.
