Food Network DATABASE
Our main purpose as a volunteer group is to build a database of local producers and interested consumers, that can be used by both parties to find where and when local foods are available. Registration is required to login and access the database.

sign-up.
Please email us if you have questions on how the database works. New producers and consumers are continually being added to the list, so please check back often to see who has what food available in Vanderhoof.
