We are one week out from our 6th annual LOCALvore event!
What is LOCALvore, you ask?
This event showcases the importance of keeping your dollars local, because when we invest in our local businesses and farms, they give back to our community through charity events, donations, and to non-profits like the CFLT.
Your dollars have power—keep them local 💚

Supporting diverse local businesses also means creating and sustaining jobs right here at home—and even reducing our carbon footprint along the way 🌱

Join us as conscious consumers in preserving farmland and strengthening local businesses. Shop, dine, and drink local on May 6th at the LOCALvore event!

Big news: this year’s guide features more farms than ever! 🌱

A huge thank-you to our Farm Listing Sponsors —
AgWest Farm Credit, Puget Sound Energy, and Yelm Community Blog — for making it possible.

Because of their support, local farmers saved over $5,000 in advertising costs while we distribute 14,000 guides across our four-county region. It truly takes a village!
