Locally Delicious

Locally Delicious is an incorporated, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the "re-localization" of the California North Coast food system and advocates for re-localization of food nationwide.

We have produced two editions of the  Locally Delicious book, a unique, community-oriented cookbook and resource guide written specifically for the North Coast bio-region.  Our second book, LunchBox Envy™, focuses on how to use sustainable foods to plan healthy, affordable lunches for children. With the profits from the sale of these books, we contribute to and collaborate with many community organizations that support the local food system. See Grants Given.  All proceeds are re-invested in the Tri-County region of Northern California (Humboldt, Del Norte & Trinity counties).

Our Goals to Improve the Food System 

• Educate children and adults about how to improve personal health, health of the community and the planet by the food choices we make.

• Help provide healthy, local, organic food to all in the community, not just the wealthy.

• Provide small grants to other community organizations with similar goals.

• Help to build a local sustainable food system.

We, on the North Coast of California, are blessed with a temperate climate and a varied set of environments from oceans and rivers to coastal plains, valleys and forests. Each environment provides us with wonderful foods. We are also blessed with people who care about our food. Our farmers, ranchers, fishers and dairymen/women work hard to make healthy food available. Local grocers and restaurants support the farm community and we have organizations supporting our food system. We have the potential to sustain ourselves with local food.
