Local Food Network Licensing

The Taste the Local Difference business model, supporting technologies, and resources are now available to be licensed for use in other parts of the country.

Taste the Local Difference has grown from a regionally-focused project of a non-profit to a profitable privately owned business, while continuing to deliver on the mission of growing Michigan’s local food economy. Our unique approach does this by educating customers on the value of local food and helping food & farming entrepreneurs build successful, well-connected and thoughtful businesses.
