About LocalFood Colorado Springs
You can now find localfood. The LocalFood CS app will tell you who is growing or producing local food, where you can buy it and which eateries (and drinkeries) are sourcing local in Colorado Springs and throughout the Pikes Peak Region.
Our goal is to pull together producer and consumers to relocalize our food system. On the producer end this includes farmers, ranchers, commercial food producers but it also includes you and your neighbor who may have eggs, honey, backyard produce, goat milk, bread or some other homemade, or homegrown food to sell. On the consumer end, this includes anyone who is looking to source, eat or buy local, sustainable and ethical food. This could be a restauranteur looking for local tomatoes, a baker in search of the freshest most local ingredients or it might be you, trying to find a dozen eggs from your neighbor’s laying hens.
The one complaint that we kept hearing was “Where can I find local food?” Remember that our small-scale local food growers and producers do not have the capacity or the capital to properly market their products in this industrialized food market. The LocalFood app is their new marketing tool. If local is important to a restauranteur, shouldn’t the locally minded eater know? If a rancher’s meat is the result of pasture-raised animals, shouldn’t the rancher be able to get the word out? Yes, they should. And now they can with the Official LocalFood App.
In addition to this being a “local food in your hand” platform, we have also created a “localness, organicness and pastureness” rating. You will find that 99% of the suppliers (growers & producers of local food) are located within 67 miles of the center of Colorado Springs. However, many food producer who are geographically very local may source only some of their ingredients locally. Some stores may have exclusively organic products but not all sourced locally. Meat suppliers may be completely organic but pasture only part of the time. The L.O.P. will allow the consumer to see how local, how organic and how impor

I love the app. It really is a panoply of great information and resources. Aside from the main focus of finding, buying and selling locally grown produce, which it does brilliantly, it also contains a plethora of local Co Springs workshops, tutorials, and classes, as well as podcasts definitely worth listening to. I am very happy to see The Urban Farm and Garden Show is available on it. Looking forward to seeing how this new app will evolve and better over time.

I appreciate being able to look through restaurants I haven't eaten at before. I wish there were hours directly in the app rather than having to find them on the website. It's a little slow. And where are the Thai and Indian restaurants?

Love that someone created an app that allows the consumer to know which restaurants are actually using locally sourced ingredients.

I like the concept of this app and that I could get involved. Sadly the app says my email when I sign up, is in the "wrong format," and app updates give me a pop up message that says "content unavailable." It's like the app never updates and sadly I can't be a part of it. If it were fixed or if there was a way to contact people via email (if info was displayed on the app) then I would try to participate. Right now the app just stays unused on my phone. An actual website would be great.

As the proprietor of In Joy Baking Co., a local food business, I've been waiting for an app like this for months! This past Fall, it took me four phone calls, two farm visits, and three weeks to find rosemary for our dark chocolate rosemary toffee. I just used this app and in less than one minute I found the rosemary that I need. Thank you, LocalFood Colorado Springs.
