Massachusetts Local Food

Online Farmers’ Market Providing Fresh Local Foods Though local farmers’ markets are closed for the season, Massachusetts Local Food (an online farmers’ market) is making fresh, local foods available to consumers throughout the year.  Through an online order system at www.massfoodcoop.org, consumers can log on and order items directly from local farmers and producers.  All items listed on the website are farmed locally by the listing producer using non-confined methods, integrated pest management, and sustainable practices.  All food items are free of GMO products.  Massachusetts Local Food is making it easier for the consumer to find local producers and their products.  And with one delivery day per month, a consumer only has to make one trip to pick up items from any of our 24 producers, thus saving the time of visiting all our local farms.  Delivery sites are in Westminster, Sterling and Berlin. Some of the local gourmet and every day products currently listed on this innovative website are award winning cheese, beef, pork, veal, lamb, eggs, vegetables and fruits, jams, jellies, spreadable fruits, breads, pastries, confections, honey, locally roasted coffee, blended tea, fresh herbs, garlic, seasoning mixes, herbal remedies and tinctures, soaps, lotions, balms and salves, herbal wreaths and swags and even healthy dog treats!
