MEG'S STORY

The Story Behind Localvore

I grew up watching my grandmother put up preserves every fall, and I raised my three kids with the same belief — that food tastes better when you know where it came from.

Localvore started as a way to share the farms, markets, and food makers I'd discovered across the Alberta prairies. It grew into a community of people who believe that eating local is an act of love for the land and the people who tend it.

Whether you're a longtime locavore or just starting to explore what's grown near you, there's a place for you here.
