WLFN Mission & Vision

The Wisconsin Local Food Network engages, connects, and empowers local, regional, and state organizations and individuals to build sustainable, equitable, and resilient food systems.

We envision vibrant local and regional food systems in Wisconsin that nourish the health and well-being of Wisconsin communities, conserve and enhance the natural resource base, and provide economic livelihood for a wide diversity of sustainable Wisconsin farmers and food businesses.

Wendell Berry “The Pleasure of Eating” an excerpt

"A significant part of the pleasure of eating is one's accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes. The pleasure of eating, then, may be the best available standard of our health. Eating with the fullest pleasure -pleasure, that is, that does not depend on ignorance- is perhaps the profoundest enactment of our connection with the world. In this pleasure we experience and celebrate our dependence and our gratitude."
