From CSA boxes to farmers markets, food hubs to neighborhood
stores—nourishing you and your family with Ozarks-grown food
can be easy and rewarding.

How to Eat Local

It’s never been easier to eat locally grown food! With many farmers delivering food right to your doorstep, multiple weekly farmer’s markets in the area, and micro food hubs popping up across the Ozarks, making an impact is a simple choice.

Our team is building a directory to streamline locating a farm stand, farmer’s market, CSA, and more, but in the meantime we recommend this map to find locally grown food closest to you.

Accessible Options for Low-Income Families

We believe nutritious food is for everyone and we’re here to help you find the healthiest options for your family and your budget—affordable, accessible, and grown right here at home. Many growers accept SNAP, WIC, EBT and other food assistance programs.

Regardless of your income or your form of payment, when you shop Missouri-grown food, your purchase helps make fresh food accessible to all and supports the farmers that grow it.

What is a Micro Food Hub?

Micro-food hubs allow farmers to sell their food directly without the logistical headache of most selling avenues. These simple-to-run and low-cost setups can be established in even the smallest towns, meaning more folks have access to more affordable fresh foods. Reducing food-miles and overhead costs keeps dollars where it matters most—right here in our community.

Impact from The Ground Up

When you buy local you do more than fill your table with fresh produce–you support Ozarks farmers, reduce food shipping costs, eat fresher and keep our money right here in the community. Eating local is one small choice that makes a huge difference; for health, for sustainability, and for deeper connection to the earth.
