Our Sourcing Policies:
Locality of food is most important. Local food means fresher, greater nutritional value, shorter transportation distance, seasonal, and a stronger local economy.
Organic practices that support healthy soils and ecosystems outweigh organic certification labels.
Nutrient-dense, whole foods that aren’t locally available are purchased as close to home as possible. The local distributors we use are mindful in their purchasing, and they source from small-scale farmers and producers that follow organic philosophies, and socially responsible practices.
As of January 2023, ingredients we do not allow in the products for sale at Locavore include high fructose corn syrup, trans fats (hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated lipids), artificial dyes, and chemical compounds such as SLS, SLES, EDTA, DEHP, parabens, and phthalates.
- Central Oregon Local: Products that are grown, raised, or sourced from within Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson County
- Regional: Products that are grown, raised, or sourced from within 150 miles of Downtown Bend. This includes much of the Willamette Valley, Portland area, and Klamath Basin area.
