This year at the FEAST! Local Foods Marketplace, we felt the strength of the Midwest food community—and brought home some incredible local ingredients to keep the celebration going!

FEAST Local Foods Network brings together businesses, organizations, and individuals who are passionate about building a sustainable regional food system. Their work supports entrepreneurs by:

• Connecting them with business expertise
• Expanding access to financial support
• Strengthening regional food networks

Since 2014, FEAST! has helped grow programs like the Grow a Farmer loan program and the Smart Start technical assistance program.

To celebrate all the local goodness we made this delicious Local FEAST Salad with local vendor ingredients:

- Mixed Spring Greens
- Peas Sno Pac Foods (Caledonia MN)
- Feta, crumbled Hidden Springs Creamery(Westby WI)
- Hazelnuts American Hazelnut Company(Viroqua WI)
- Salad Girl Organic Lemony Herb Vinaigrette

FEAST! is all about supporting local food businesses, and we love discovering new flavors from Midwest makers!
