Trying to buy local but don’t know where to find local produce? You’re in luck if you live in Wisconsin. An article in The Grower describes a nifty publication that lists local products.
I haven’t been able to find a hard copy of the atlas. There is a website for the project called Wisconsin's Farm Fresh Atlases, where you can look for local foods in several parts of the state.
The search options for the website vary depending on the region. Some regions aren’t searchable yet. Interestingly enough there is no atlas available for the northern part of the state.
Local food information is presented differently depending on the Atlas being used. The Farm Fresh Atlas of Western Wisconsin is the most user friendly. Search results are listed on Google maps. You can then click on the various icons for more information.
I’ve heard of options like this for other states. The Farm Fresh Atlas of Western Wisconsin is the most user friendly local food guide I’ve run across.
