Local Food is Essential
Origin Story
About the Movement
The Local Food is Essential movement was founded by local non-profits, businesses, and farming organizations in response to the unexpected challenges facing farmers and food makers in the Minnesota and Wisconsin food system as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that local food is essential to our local economy, to the health of our communities, and to the environment.
