Know Your Farmers, Know Your Food.

Source, noun.: 1) The point at which something springs into being or from which it derives or is obtained. 2) A generative force.

At SOURCE Local Foods, we're working to create

easier, more efficient ways to buy locally grown and locally processed foods, right here at home. Through our SOURCE local producer network, we maintain a direct connection to every producer we serve, ensuring fast harvest-to-table turnaround and effective delivery services so that you can focus on what matters most - your customers, your menus, and your bottom line.

We are proud to be working with a great group of locally owned producers on the Front Range, as none of this would be possible without them. That said, we'd like to take a minute to introduce you to a couple of our producer-partners, Oxford Gardens and Honeyacre Farms. Locally owned and operated, these farms are producing some of the freshest, highest-quality produce available in the Rocky Mountain West. We hope you enjoy getting to know them, because we know you'll enjoy their food!
