Whatcom Food and Farm Finder 2010
What's in the Food and Farm Finder?
It's not just food, and they aren't all farms. Over 100 products offered include compost, soap, and flowers in with the edibles, and a "farm" might actually be a boat, a ranch or a greenhouse.
Use the free Food & Farm Finder to to discover the many ways to Buy FRESH, from U-pick to farmers markets to Community Supported Agriculture.
67 wildly diverse farms! Farms are listed by categories for veggies, fruits and berries, dairy/eggs, and meat/seafood so you can easily find exactly what you're looking for.
51 local food businesses who have taken the Buy FRESH Pledge, committing to support local food & agriculture.
Restaurants & Cafes. 30 eateries, from fine-dining to casual fare, that are committed to serving fresh, local food. (Remember to ask your server what's FRESH today!)
Caterers Bring field-freshness right to your special events with catering from one of ten local catering companies.
Grocers Visit one of four farmers markets for farm-direct flavor, or look for local products at many local grocers. You can even get them delivered!
