About Us and Our Mission - As an organization, our purpose is to encourage a more sustainable and harmonious relationship between ourselves, the environment and all living things. Obtaining the bulk of our nourishment in a sustainable way - from what can be made naturally available by our immediate surroundings - not only supports our physical and mental well-being but also the health and balance of the entire planet.
Based on this belief, the mission of EatLocalFood.org is simply to provide convenience, ease and support for those interested in consuming a diet rich in locally grown foods.
About this Site - On this site you will find practical sources of local, wholesome foods, hands-on educational opportunities and an open venue for all local food related events and communications.
To fully enjoy the many potential benefits of knowing your grower and to make the site practical and accessible to our specific community, the majority of listings are within a 30 mile radius of the Mohonk Tower located on the Shawangunk Ridge. The site also proudly honors the following principle: Due to the inherent nature of buying locally and the many advantages of knowing your grower, the accuracy of all information regarding the farming and production practices of the seller is and will be self-checking.
