What is Get Local?

Get Local is a community of BC food producers, businesses, and groups
working together to promote eating locally in the Metro Vancouver area.

Get Local offers education about the benefits of eating locally, a growing
list of businesses that are producing and selling local food, and a wealth
of other resources to help you "Get Local."

Think "LOCAL" and “BC” first. Enjoy the bounty our province offers. Your
consumer dollar can help create a healthy food system for British Columbia -
now and for the future.
