Most utilize locally-grown ingredients to make foods such as cheese, jam, specialty and ethnic sauces, as well as cider and wine. Many also carry certifications, including gluten-free, grass-fed and organic, and show leadership through business practices such as commitments to environmental sustainability, fair wages, community food access, and supporting social movements.  Regional food makers can learn more and register online.
