Eat Local First

Slow Food Seattle is proud to partner with Eat Local First to celebrate the farmers, fishers, ranchers, food artisans, and chefs who make Washington's local food system thrive.

At the heart of both organizations is a simple belief: when we choose local food, we create positive change. Every meal is an opportunity to support the people who steward our land and waters, strengthen local economies, preserve culinary traditions, and enjoy food at its freshest and most flavorful.

Eating local means more than buying food grown nearby. It’s about knowing the people behind your food, appreciating where it comes from, and recognizing how our choices shape our community.

By supporting local producers and businesses, we nourish our families, protect our natural resources, and help build a resilient food system for generations to come.

Why Eat Local?

Treat your Tastebuds

Seasonal and sustainably raised and caught food is more ripe, flavorful, and carefully harvested than far-traveled and off-season counterparts. Eating local first means incredibly tasty meals.

Enjoy Good Health

Fresh and whole foods are a powerful way to keep you and your family healthy. Local farmers care about the families they are feeding, and have a deep sense of responsibility to keep their food safe. Eating local first means putting the health of your family first!
