Northwest Wisconsin Regional Food Network
 |
Mission
The Northwest Wisconsin Regional Food Network is a grassroots
group of local farmers, volunteers and agency staff working
together to create a regional food system that connects consumers
back to the land and provides locally produced, fresh and
nutritious foods to all segments of our community while preserving
the region's environment and sustaining the local economy
for years to come. |
 |
Please Join Us
We welcome anyone interested in growing, selling, buying, cooking or eating food to participate in our initiative. We hold monthly meetings throughout the region and would like to work with you to generate ideas for supporting local farms, creating and enhancing local markets for local products, reducing hunger, and educating our community about sustainable agriculture and the local food system development movement. |

Our system of producing and distributing food has effects on every aspect of our lives and our society – it’s like the system of blood vessels that extends to every part of our bodies.

Regulations
- 2007 Updated fact sheets summarizing food regulations
Both fact sheets are intended to be simple road maps to help
with decisions on sourcing food and where to get more specific
information. We hope to increase the amount of local
food produced, purchased and consumed in Wisconsin and want
to make sure that producers and institutions are aware that
local restaurants, grocers, hospitals, etc. can buy
from local producers. In some cases, such as raw agricultural
fruits and vegetables, no license is required.
