Flavor Highlight

Looking for locally produced eggs, fruit, honey, meat, vegetables, flowers, herbs, and other specialty products? We've been looking for nearly two years! The Local Food & Flavor Guide reveals what we have found so far: 60 farms, restaurants, specialty businesses, and farmers markets across Northwest Iowa (plus South Dakota and Nebraska neighbors) engaged in local food production and availability. 

The printed Guide will be available at your local county ISU Extension and Outreach office by the end of April. Stop in to pick up a handful for you and your friends! In the meantime, download a digital copy.

You can find the original plan and recommendations as well as the initial report to the legislature here.

The plan involves recommendations in state appropriations, a state local food program, business development and financial assistance, processing, food safety, beginning, minority, and transitioning farmers, local food incentives, and assessing progress.
