Taste the Local Difference is proud to announce the publication of their 2022 Local Food Guide.
This 100-page magazine celebrates Michigan’s local food culture and the food businesses that make it all possible.
“Our 2022 Local Food Guide is more useful than ever,” says Emma Beauchamp, Editor in Chief of Taste the Local Difference. “From features on community organizations making local food more accessible, to highlights on individual food businesses like a goat farm in the UP and a blueberry producer in Fennville, this Guide is an educational and fun resource that is jam-packed with information about Michigan’s local food system.”
Within the pages of this year’s Guide, readers will find stories highlighting all our state has to offer including seven seasonal recipes, a kid’s farmers market scavenger hunt, and a bilingual seasonality guide in English and Spanish. The 2022 Local Food Guide lists food businesses across the entire state of Michigan, but is separated into hyper local regions to make it easy to find local food sources. Throughout the Guide, there are QR codes that help the reader jump to Taste the Local Difference’s searchable digital directory for market hours, CSA information, and much more.
From the Keweenaw Peninsula to Detroit, the Local Food Guide is freely distributed at farmers markets, cafés, libraries, welcome centers, and more. Each region of Michigan will host a Guide Release party in June that the whole community is welcome to attend. For those that can’t attend, folks looking for local can also get the 2022 Guide delivered to their door!
