HDFFA is founded on the belief that local food should be accessible to everyone, and that our food connects us to each other. We aspire to improve the demand for and appreciation of local food, and to cherish every moment when food tastes better simply because it is local.

With these values in mind, each year we print, publish online, and host a web-based directory that connects you, the local food consumer, to the growers, raisers, and crafters of locally made products.
