SEATTLE—Agrilicious has launched the first-of-its-kind national go-to source for all things local food. The website helps one find, select and celebrate the benefits of locally sourced food. Agrilicious is also about expanding the family-farmer connection, bringing together individuals, farmers, restaurants, grocery delivery, meal kit services, distributors, educators and food industry experts and advocates to share ideas, connect, and make a difference.
Celebrating the best of food, farms and family, Agrilicious is not just for the foodies, locavores and farmers, it is for all those working with farmers to help get local food to the community. Most of all it is for those of who are becoming increasingly curious and concerned about the food we eat, where it is from, and what is actually in it.
In a recent study by Sullivan Higdon & Sink’s FoodThink, 70 percent of consumers would like to know more about where food actually comes from, 92 percent think local and organic just tastes better than conventional food, and 79 percent would like to buy more local food.

Agrilicious CEO Duane Dahl says, “Making good food choices has become a priority for all of us, and we wanted to use our team’s expertise to help advance the local food movement. Agrilicious brings together families, farmers and the food industry to share, connect and to make a difference.
