Local Foods Campaign
Welcome to the food directory, a consumer’s guide to eating locally, connects families to South Dakota farmers and food producers who are growing fresh, healthy, locally-grown vegetables, eggs, meats, grains, and other foods.
The directory contains over 100 listings from around the state, offers farmer-submitted recipes, and provides resources and tips for buying and storing locally-grown foods.
​
The drive to create the food directory came from DRA’s Small Farms Committee, a group of members committed to family farming and local food issues. The directory was created in an effort to increase support for local producers, to increase consumption of South Dakota products by South Dakotans, and to increase the number of small-scale producers in the state. It is part of the committee’s long-term vision to help connect and vitalize the people of South Dakota with good abundant food, clean and healthy communities, and economic prosperity.
