Local
Hero restaurants serve up locally grown food as often
as they can throughout the season and even year-round.
From sweet maple syrup and farm-fresh eggs and dairy
products to berries and vegetables, local chefs choose
locally grown for freshness, flavor and quality -- and
because like you, they want to see our local farms survive
and thrive.
