Local food

Our local food program supports and connects residents on both the producer and consumer sides of the local food industry. We host and support initiatives that increase public trust, awareness and education of food networks in the region. We also provide information on pests and diseases that affect trees and garden vegetables.

Upcoming events

Our local food coordinator is working to increase local food opportunities in the region by hosting education events and developing relationships with local food entrepreneurs.

Local food, local products and agri-tourism in Leduc County

To showcase local food, direct-marketed products and agri-tourism in the region,  Leduc County is partnering with The Chamber, Leduc & Wetaskiwin Regions, on its Discover Leduc Region website. The website features an interactive map, highlighting attractions and tourism destinations in the region. Users are able to explore by category, including food, shopping, parks and more. 

 Local food categories
Leduc County and Discover Leduc Region are developing local food categories as part of the interactive map. The categories will include listings for:
  • local food products
    • fruit/vegetables
    • meat/poultry products
    • specialty food (honey, mushrooms, herbs)
  • greenhouses 
  • landscape/nursery businesses
  • on-farm craft beverages
  • preserves/ready-made products
  • agri-tourism destinations

Right now, we are looking for producers of local food, direct-marketed local products and agri-tourism businesses to be included on the map. 

How it works and criteria

To be featured on the interactive map, you need to meet certain criteria and fill out an application form.

Criteria

  • You must own your business.
  • Your business must be located within Leduc County or one of the municipalities within its boundaries (Beaumont, Devon, Leduc, Calmar, Thorsby, Warbug).
  • You must meet at least one of the following requirements:
    • you are a producer of food, horticulture, other agriculture products, or raise animals/products that are sold into local market channels.
    • you host agri-tourism activities on your farm.

If you meet the above-listed criteria, you may fill out an application form.

  • After you've submitted your application form, county staff will review it and you will be notified if your application was successful. 
  • There is no cost to be listed on the local food listing, but you must complete an annual audit of information to ensure everything is up to date.

Please note: if you indicate specific certification/classification/or holding certain permits as part of your business features, such as organic certification, you may be requested to provide a copy of the certification to the county.
