All local food providers are encouraged to submit their information for a free listing in the second annual Local Food Guide, published by the York County Buy Fresh Buy Local (BFBL) Chapter. The Local Food Guide lists food providers by categories such as farmer/grower; meat/poultry; grocer/retailer; farmers’ market/roadside stand; dairy/creamery; restaurant/caterer; community supported agriculture, bakery, winery/brewery, nurseries, food processor and others.

BFBL is a trademarked marketing program of the FoodRoutes Network, a national nonprofit organization based in Pennsylvania. The mission of the York County BFBL Chapter is to connect the people of York County to locally produced food and farm products. It provides information and education to the public about where to find locally grown products and why buying local is important. The group also collectively promotes the partners that have made a commitment to support farms in York County.

For more information, call 717-814-8141, email Yorkbfbl@yahoo.com or visit BuyFreshBuyLocalYork.com. Deadline for submissions is Feb. 28. Advertising opportunities are available for a fee.
