Eat Local Always

About

Eat Local Always is a statewide campaign that educates both restaurants and the general public on the benefits of sourcing food from within our local food system - using ingredients from Massachusetts first. This year, Massachusetts residents are encouraged to "eat local" whether they are dining out, shopping at the farmers' markets, or stopping by their local farm stand.

This is your chance to eat local at your favorite restaurant, learn where your food comes from, shop at a farmers' market, join a CSA and be involved in supporting and strengthening our local food systems. Follow us on Instagram @bostonlocalfood to have up-to-date information about who we are partnering with and where to find the best local eats.
