Local Foods Directory

The Healthy Shasta Website now includes a Local Farms and Food Vendor Listing where you can find a community resource of local producers in Northern California.

Did you know that if consumers in the six-county region surrounding Shasta County (Shasta, Trinity, Siskiyou, Modoc, Lassen, Tehama) bought $5 of their food from local farms each week, farms would earn $89 million of income annually – meaning $89 million per year would enter our region’s economy! Eating locally supports our community and our environment. As always, Healthy Shasta promotes the healthy consumption of food and recommends looking at our healthy eating resources and the 2020-25 Dietary Guidelines for information on the foods that fit best for your health needs.

Stretching your dollars to get a month’s worth of healthy, filling food can be a challenge. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), in collaboration with Share Our Strength, published this guide to help you fill your plate with delicious, healthy food – and save time and money. EWG assessed nearly 1,200 foods and hand-picked the best 100 or so that pack in nutrients at a good price, with the fewest pesticides, contaminants and artificial ingredients. To get the guide, visit http://www.ewg.org/goodfood/ or download it below. Also available is a recipe booklet full of tasty, easy to prepare recipes.
