The Pennsylvania Buy Fresh Buy Local ® program has been bringing together local farmers, chefs, greengrocers, market managers and others since 2003, with the aim of helping consumers find, choose and appreciate great local foods. But there's been someone missing: YOU! A vibrant local foods community depends just as much on informed, involved eaters as it does on responsible growers and robust markets.

What's on the menu here at GFN?  The great taste of local food.  The thrill of discovering fresh new sources.  The camaraderie of fellow foodies.  The goodness of supporting a growing local food network.  Whether you're a seasoned local bounty hunter or newly tuned into local flavor, the Good Food Neighborhood is your link to other food fans: a fresh, local group devoted to fresh, local food.

Besides the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping support our Buy Fresh Buy Local outreach work throughout Pennsylvania, there are a number of great benefits you'll enjoy with your annual membership contribution of $30:

• Personalized seasonal product updates from local food providers on this website
