Organizations
www.clallamgrown.org Clallam Grown! aims to educate the residents of Clallam County on the importance of eating locally as a way to improve personal health, protect our economy, while preserving traditional farm land and the environment for future generations.

While it might be difficult to eat locally produced food 100% of the time, we can all take the challenge to eat local food more often than we do now.

When you buy more food from local sources, you help create a working landscape that can sustain your community well into the future.

It is still being developed, so many of our local farms are not yet entered, but it has a great deal of potential. Check it out.
