The Campaign promotes our Partners on our Find Local Foods page and via media so that Members and other Partners can find businesses near them that provide local foods. We work closely with the Local Food Coordinators (LFCs) of Cooperative Extension. Learn more about your county LFC at localfoodnc.org.
