About This Campaign

No matter what you are celebrating this season, there's a good chance that food will play a major role in your celebration. This season, really celebrate by bringing healthy, local foods to your table. Choose at least one item in your holiday meal from a local source. Tis the season to support your health and community while enjoying local delights!

On this site you will find resources and information to help you bring the gift of fresh and local foods home for the holidays. Find out how eating locally will benefit you and your community. Use our handy guide to know what foods are in season and where to shop. We've also got tasty recipes sure to add some flavor to the season.

For those who won't be dining in, our restaurant guide will help you get great local foods served up, just the way you like them. Eating local foods benefits you and your community; find out more and sign our pledge. Sign the pledge by December 31st and you'll be entered to win local food prizes!

This campaign is modeled after the Eat Local for Thanksgiving campaign in Seattle, Washington. In Kansas City, the Eat Local for the Holidays campaign is sponsored by the Greater Kansas City Healthy Food Policy Coalition, with the support of KC Healthy Kids.
