local food
Area's native dishes
Local food refers to food produced near where it's consumed—typically within a region, state, or set radius like a hundred miles.
The term emerged with movements prioritizing freshness, reduced transportation, and support for nearby farmers: We try to eat local food when it's in season.
Often shortened to local or the verb phrase eat local.
