The Sacramento region has some of the most productive farmland in the world, with farmers and ranchers producing 3.4 million tons of food annually. However, only about 2 percent of the food consumed in the region comes directly from local farmers and ranchers!

EatLocal maps restaurants, grocery stores, and farmers markets using or selling locally grown food so that citizens who want to support locally-grown food can easily find and purchase it.

Many fruits and vegetables reach their nutritional peak around the same time they are harvested. Not only is eating locally grown, seasonal food an excellent way to boost nutrition, it’s cheaper for farmers and helps the community economy, too.

Are we missing a local food source? Is our data inaccurate or incomplete? Help us keep an accurate, up-to-date record of local food suppliers in the region by curating the data.
