One goal of local chapters is to help you find locally-grown meat and eggs from pasture-fed animals, organic and raw dairy products, and sustainable seafood, as well as organic and biodynamically grown vegetables, fruits and grains.
Our list concentrates on resources for animal foods. We also include small local food producers who value nutrient dense properly prepared foods. We encourage you to check out their websites for the latest offerings, ways to shop and how food is produced. Additional resources are WA Food & Farm Finder, the local Farmer’s Markets and Community Food Co-op stores in Bellingham.
List is in alphabetical order with categories: Beef; Lamb; Pork; Poultry; Dairy; Eggs, Seafood & Producer.
