Local Food Week 2024 - Event Registration Form
Dates: Friday, July 26 through Sunday, August 4, 2024
Locations: Local Food Farms, Markets, Restaurants, Businesses & Organizations across Northeast Indiana
The Northeast Indiana Local Food Network organizes Local Food Week to celebrate the farms, markets, restaurants and other local food businesses that bring local food from Our Land to Our Tables.
Local Food Week farm tours and local food events allow guests to interact with the people and places that grow, sell and serve local food across Northeast Indiana. Local Food Week is a great way to engage with customers and your community. Events that offer participants a unique experience, the opportunity to taste new foods & beverages, or to purchase special or slightly discounted products are very popular. You can choose any day during the week to host your tour or event, or host tours or events on multiple days, whatever works best for you.
This year, our 5th Annual Local Food Week will build on the success of prior years. New Local Food Trails will encourage participates to attend multiple nearby local food events to extend their local food week celebration.
We encourage Local Food Week hosts to consider collaborating with other local food farms, businesses, organizations, wineries, breweries, restaurants or food trucks in your county or an adjacent county to coordinate your events so attendees can participate in multiple Local Food Week events as part of a suggested Local Food Week Trail. Members of our Local Food Week 2024 Planning Committee may contact you to suggest potential nearby Local Food Week collaborators.
While the Northeast Indiana Local Food Network does not require a registration fee for local food farms and businesses to participate in Local Food Week, sponsorship of this community-focused event helps to offset printing and other event costs. Our generous sponsors help to assure that participation in Local Food Week remains accessible for everyone.
The Northeast Indiana Local Food Network offers three levels of sponsorship for participating hosts: $50, $100 and $250. Sponsoring hosts will be prominently acknowledged for their generosity in the printed 2024 Local Food Week Companion Guide, on our website and featured in our social media. Participating hosts will be contacted separately to solicit Local Food Week sponsorship funding.
Please Note: This registration form does not save. We recommend writing event descriptions and farm descriptions in a separate document first and complete the full form when you have time to finish it all the way through!
