About Us

Our Goal

The long-term goal of the Local Flavours Project is to build on the strengths of the region by increasing the sustainability of our local food supply and the farmers who produce it.

Our primary task is to bring together local producers and consumers, creating an economic and social partnership which benefits the entire community.

This is just the beginning of what we hope will echo the successes of older local food projects around the world. We plan to build partnerships with chefs and restaurants, grocery stores and supermarkets, hotels and B&B's,
and institutions. The first step has been taken this year, with several inns, B&B's, and restaurants joining our program.

Our Members

In creating Local Flavours we have been as inclusive as possible. Our producers choose their method of production so our list includes conventional, transitional, natural and non-certified organic to certified organic approaches. Our customers choose the type of food they prefer. If you have any questions about growing methods, just ask the producer or outlet manager.

Size of operations and mode of selling also vary. Some large operations include farm shops, others have self-serve farm gate stands with regular hours. Some need to be contacted in advance. Others sell their products off-farm at farmers' markets. These details are all listed with each producer or outlets' entry in their respective search pages.
