Since 2000, the Center for Sustainable Environments has been working with local farmers, ranchers, markets, and restaurants to promote local food production and use. Recently, with the addition of a USDA grant for local marketing initiatives, CSE has begun to implement strategic marketing practices to help promote local farm products, from a food directory to development of an eco-label and local advertising.

Over the past year, CSE solicited information from its partners in an effort to narrow down what specific future activities would help support local foods in the area. Here are your and our ideas consolidated:

  1. Help farmers direct market produce to restaurants and markets.

  2. Help restaurants find fresh and high quality local foods to supplement menus.

  3. Tell the stories of the growers through a regular newsletter and advertisements.

  4. Give northern Arizona local foods an identity, particularly in these drought-stricken times.

How will we accomplish our tasks? While we will continue to work in our traditional roles through education and outreach, Canyon County Fresh is intended to take the next step in enhancing communication between farmers, ranchers, restaurants, and markets.

As we move forward, we hope to expand advertising opportunities in local transit hubs. We also will expand our monthly Fresh Corner to better serve our partners’ specific direct marketing needs.

We look forward to your participation. For more information or to provide feedback, please contact:
