OUR STORY
Before Local Fare, Chris was an executive chef. We were always on the hunt for fresh and sustainable food. The best place to get high-quality, low-mileage food is from local farms. It supported our community and also kept the dining room full! It became apparent that the low cost and high-quality local food was not only hard to find, but the alternative commercially sold produce was astronomically priced!
In 2011 Local Fare was born. We were hit even harder with these realities when, as young parents, our son was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Processed foods were shutting his body down. We could hardly afford to feed him healthy food on our income. So, it pushed us even harder to make local fresh food accessible AND affordable! It is a cause near and dear to our hearts and we are thankful every day for our community who make it possible.
