One of PAREI's longest-running programs, Local Foods Plymouth, is celebrating 20 WHOLE YEARS -you heard that right!- of distributing fresh local foods, serving local farmers, and connecting the Plymouth community(and beyond).

What are the pros of LFP, you ask?
-Fresher Food: Items travel short distances so they are healthier (and tastier!)🌽🍅
-Easy Shopping: You buy from many local farms at once using one checkout 🛒
-Less Waste: Farmers only pick what you buy, creating less food waste ♻️
-Helps Farmers: Your money goes directly to local families and farms🤝
-Supports Neighbors: The program helps low-income families get fresh food through discount matches🫶

Local Foods Plymouth operates with the help of our dedicated staff, volunteers, producers, and generous community members like YOU. Help us keep this amazing program running by donating $20 for 20 years.💛 Your support means the world to us!
