Eat Local New Orleans is a program that celebrates the rich bounty of our food grown in Southeast Louisiana.
This program empowers residents and visitors to support local farmers, fishers, chefs, and artisans, fostering an equitable and sustainable local food economy.
What is Eat Local?
Through community events, workshops and partnerships, we educate residents and visitors on how to use their purchasing power to support the regional food system and connect them to a larger community of food advocates who are committed to maintaining a sustainable and just foodway.
Through education, celebration, and advocacy, Eat Local NOLA:
-
the economic viability of local producers and food makers.
-
the region’s culinary heritage and seasonal bounty.
-
for stewardship of Louisiana’s land and waters.
-
traditions that define southern foodways.
-
residents to make informed choices that strengthen local food systems.
We host and share events and opportunities that…
Prioritize the economic viability of food and beverages grown, harvested, caught, distilled, raised, brewed, or processed within 200 miles, supporting the region’s growers, producers, and makers.
Convene residents, businesses, and visitors on the shared experiences that celebrate the region’s seasonal bounty.
Advocate for environmental stewardship through food and farming choices that protect and restore the land and waters of south Louisiana.
Honor the traditions, history, and creativity that make New Orleans cuisine a cornerstone of our shared identity and southern foodways.
Inspire individuals to make informed choices about supporting local food systems, by making information about the food system, its actors and its functions accessible.
