Find Food Closer to Home.
Meet the people who grow it. Find the markets that bring it together. Discover the restaurants putting local food on the table.
Market.
Restaurant.
Community.
Local food becomes easier to support when you know where to find it.
Somewhere nearby, a farmer is harvesting vegetables, a baker is pulling bread from an oven, a fisher is bringing in the day's catch, a market is gathering local producers and a chef is deciding what belongs on tonight's menu.
The problem is often not that these people and places don't exist. It's that they can be surprisingly difficult to discover.
Find Local is Cucina's guide to the people and places making regional food possible.

Sometimes the easiest way into local food isn't deciding where to go. It's knowing what is good right now.
Cucina's seasonal food guides connect ingredients with the producers growing them, markets selling them, restaurants serving them and stories behind them.
Explore What to Eat Now →The Shorter the Distance Between Food and People, the Stronger the Connection.
Knowing who produces food changes the way we understand it. Markets create relationships. Restaurants give producers another table. Consumers give the entire system economic life.
One Discovery Leads to Another.
Cucina is designed to connect the pieces rather than treat producers, markets and restaurants as separate directories.
