Let's go the distance so our food doesn't have to

Local Food Plus (LFP) is a non-profit organization that brings farmers and consumers to the table to share in the benefits of environmentally and socially responsible food production. We are committed to building and fostering local sustainable food systems by certifying farmers and processors and linking them with local purchasers. As of August 1, 2007 our name has changed to Local Food Plus from Local Flavour Plus. We are a national organization. However, the current focus of our work is Ontario, and in particular the Greenbelt around the Greater Toronto area.

Certification through LFP is a win-win-win scenario. Farmers benefit from the potential of a predictable income stream and the ability to be better stewards of their land. Institutions benefit from the opportunity to play a leading role in the long-term economic and environmental health of our communities by committing to the purchase of LFP certified products. And consumers benefit from knowing that they're supporting their local economies, improving the sustainability of the land around them, and eating food that meets the highest social and environmental standards.

Local Food Plus. We're going the distance so our food doesn't have to.
