Buy Fresh Buy Local Comes to Southwest Iowa

Buy Fresh Buy Local chapters are connecting consumers in communities throughout the country to the freshest, most delicious locally grown and produced foods available. Through outreach events, local food guides, and educational materials, Buy Fresh, Buy Local makes it easy for consumers to find and connect with local food from farmers they can know and trust.

The BFBL SW Iowa chapter is one of 11 chapters in Iowa.  The BFBL state and local chapters are coordinated nationally by FoodRoutes, a nonprofit organization based in Pennsylvania.  FoodRoutes provides technical support to community based groups that are working to strengthen regional markets for locally grown foods.  From farmers' markets, restaurants, grocery stores, co-ops, and community supported farms to large scale institutions, such as colleges and retirement homes, Buy Fresh Buy Local chapters are bringing back the base for locally grown food in communities across the U.S.
