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.
To showcase local food, locally-grown products and agritourism in the region, Leduc County has partnered with The Leduc, Nisku & Wetaskiwin Regional Chamber of Commerce on its Discover Leduc Region website.
The website features an interactive map that highlights attractions and tourism destinations in the region. Learn about who's making your food, what they have to offer and how you can purchase their products.
