Local sourcing isn’t just about food; it’s about integrity. When you source locally, you’re not only getting fresher ingredients but also supporting the community around you. It's good for your menu and even better for your conscience.⁠ ⁠ Here are 5 Tips for sourcing local ingredients: ⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Build Relationships with Local Farmers: Establish direct connections with local farmers and producers. Regular visits to farmers' markets or local farms can help you understand their practices, negotiate fair pricing, and ensure a steady supply of fresh, seasonal produce.⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Prioritize Seasonality: Seasonal produce is often more flavorful and nutrient-dense, and sourcing it locally ensures that you're getting the freshest possible ingredients at their peak.⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Join a Local Food Cooperative: Consider joining or forming a cooperative with other local businesses. This can increase your purchasing power and provide access to a wider variety of local products, including dairy, meats, and specialty items.⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Leverage Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): Partner with CSA programs that allow you to receive regular deliveries of fresh, locally grown produce. This not only supports local farmers but also ensures a consistent supply of fresh ingredients for your menu.⁠ ⁠ 🍃 Be Transparent with Your Customers: Highlight your commitment to local sourcing on your menu and in your marketing. Customers appreciate knowing where their food comes from, and transparency can enhance your restaurant’s reputation and customer loyalty and even bring you more connections and relationships with local farmers. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #localsourcing #localingredients #buylocal #supportlocal #localproduce #farmtotable

It’s incredible how since its launch this year, every small grocery store in my (small) town now sells plant-based Nutella. What’s even more surprising, though, is that these same stores still don’t offer tofu, tempeh, or other common plant-based meat alternatives. For these, I have to drive to big supermarkets. So, what can we learn from Nutella’s success in this context?

The increased awareness of the health benefits of duck meat and shifting customer preferences have led to a continuous growth in the global market for goods made from duck meat. The global duck meat products market is experiencing growth due to several factors. The increased need for high-protein foods is one of the main factors, especially in emerging nations where the middle class is expanding and has more discretionary cash. Furthermore, because duck meat has more protein and less fat than other meats, it is seen as a healthier option. Duck meat items, such as entire ducks, chops, ground duck meat, and other processed duck goods, have become more popular as a result. Key Players AJC International Maison Delpeyrat Maple Leaf Farms.
